Kali : Latest

Hello,

I have a problem with my Kali Linux installation. I cannot start the computer because I get the following message:

ACPI Error (bug) : Failure created named object [...] AE_ALREADY_EXISTS
ACPI Error : AE_ALREADY_EXISTS. During name lookup/catalog [...]
ACPI BIOS Error (bug) : Could not resolve symbol [\.SB.PCI0.GPP2.WWAN], AE_NOT_FOUND
ACPI Error : AE_ALREADY_EXISTS. During name lookup/catalog [...]
hub 6-0:1.0 : config failed, hub doesn't have any ports! (err -19)

And nothing more...

I've tested "nouveau.modeset=0" doesn't work...

I have succeeded in booting by modifying GRUB with the following option:

"nomodeset"

But since I followed the official tutorial to install the NVIDIA drivers it doesn't work anymore.

Can you help me?

My computer is an Asus Strix G17 and my graphics card is an RTX 3060.

I had the same issue but with a GeForce GTX 660. It took me a couple of days, but I finally got mine to work.

Here is what I did...
Download the latest drivers for my card. In your case go here
(https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/193095/en-us/)
Step 1.
Hit "e" when booting up to enter the Grub editor
Add this line to the end of the " ro quiet splash" nouveau modset=0 then reboot. Once rebooted, get into TTY5 (ALT F5) login as root so you don't have to keep typing sudo, as all commands require this and it will speed up the process......This is your choice, in my case I was into day 2 and was sick of typing it so I just got root access.

2.
apt-get remove --purge nvidia*

3.
nano /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
Find the line allowed_user= and change it to:

allowed_users=anybody

Then
mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak and mv x.org.conf.d x.org.conf.d.bak


3.
From step 1. Copy the downloaded .run file to a usb stick and mount it:
first list the file system to check which one you want to mount:
/dev# lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda 8:0 0 1.8T 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi
├─sda2 8:2 0 1.8T 0 part /
└─sda3 8:3 0 977M 0 part [SWAP]
sdb 8:16 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─sdb1 8:17 0 512M 0 part
├─sdb2 8:18 0 930.1G 0 part
└─sdb3 8:19 0 977M 0 part
sdc 8:32 1 7.5G 0 disk
└─sdc1 8:33 1 7.5G 0 part /media/kar/1D50580D362061E6
nvme0n1 259:0 0 465.8G 0 disk
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 100M 0 part
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 16M 0 part
├─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 454.3G 0 part
├─nvme0n1p4 259:4 0 541M 0 part
├─nvme0n1p5 259:5 0 528M 0 part
├─nvme0n1p6 259:6 0 499M 0 part
└─nvme0n1p7 259:7 0 9.8G 0 part

Here mine was sdc1
so next mount it in a folder of your choice.

cd /tmp
mkdir usb
mount /dev/sdc1 /tmp/usb
cd /tmp/usb

Next run the installer. It will ask if you want to insert it into the kernel module. Tab over to YES and when it asks if you want to also register it as a 32bit choose YES. I did this for using WINE and it's Apps. This is up to you.


When the installer is complete, it will then automatically try and startx , but it will bomb out on you; don't panic. It's because you set the Grub loader to nouveau modset=0. You won't be able to click anything, Ctrl Alt Del will not respond , you will have to press and hold the power button.

Once it's rebooting, it will start to clean some blocks from the shutdown as it does in most cases. It took about 5 minutes on my end, and finally was able to login.

I hope this helps you, if you have any questions, let me know. I know there are many steps I took previous to this that may have helped with the situation that I did not add here, so if you still can't get it to work, I will rwspond with some extra steps you can try.

Good luck.:o
