Kali BROKEN after full update
Hello, i recently installed kali linux and after instaling it i wanted to install google chrome, but i wasn't been able to because libapp(something)1 was missing and installing it caused a error.
I started to mess arround trying to fix this, but i cloudn't.
After trying to apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade && (and few other things) it started updating and after a hour or so i was knocked out to login screen, after logging in i saw: blue desktop background, no icons and trying to launch any app kick me out to login screen.
Can someone help me with this please???
Successfully Upgrading Kali Rolling 2016.2
something similar happened with me while I was trying to update and then upgrade Kali Rolling 2016.2, the version with pre-installed tools (not the 'lite' version). I was kicked into the login screen and upon login there was nothing except for the blue background and the top bar with no image content.
I had to reinstall Kali at that point of time but I guess there is an alternative too.
1. When at login screen, try Alt+Ctrl+F3. You'll now be in the terminal interface where you're to enter your login credentials.
2. Make sure you're connected to ethernet or to wifi by typing the command 'iwconfig' and confirming the ESSID.
3. Considering that the installation was interrupted, enter 'dpkg --configure -a' to resume the installation.
4. Now, let it complete and reboot.
5. Congrats! You must be into your upgraded Kali. If not, consider reinstalling Kali and follow the steps 1 and 2. Then update and upgrade using commands 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'.
6. Also, if after you want to, you can 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' after step 5.
I am pretty new to linux apart from having screwed my Windows desktop more than once while installing ubuntu years ago.
Comment. I'll try to be of help. :)
