kali linux do not start just after update/upgrade lighdm / tty issue / booting issue / Xorg Issue

Code:

uname -a

Linux kali 5.16

I just did normal update process with

Code:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt dist-upgrade && sudo apt autoremove -y && sudo apt autoclean

now

Code:

uname -a

Linux kali 5.17

and can not start normally ( black screen just after kali logo ) but still I can go to TTY (ctl+alt+(F1..F3)
I check some log file, and you can see tell is something wrong with lightdm and tty process and finally Xorg log point me to a solution.

Code:

/home/<user>/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log

then cheking other forum find a solution could be forcing X to use fbdev driver and provinding the framebuffer device ID by:

Create the .conf file:

Code:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/fbdev.conf

Edit it:

Code:

Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "fbdev" BusID "PCI:0:8:0" EndSection

Please mind that your BusID might be different.

You can check it with: (if exist)

Code:

cat /root/xorg.conf.new

or you can just run

Code:

Xorg -configure

which will create /root/xorg.conf.new. Then look in this file for your BusID and act accordingly if it differs
