Kali wont boot after upgrade
I installed Kali Linux, reboot and logged in, worked a little bit, installed open-vm-tools, reboot and logged back in, no problem until now,
But when I did an apt upgrade, everything fell apart and it didn't boot anymore.
This is what I'm getting:

This one also may help to identify the problem:

I'm using VMWare Workstation Pro 15.0.2 build-10952284.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
P.S: I know about the prepared kali vms, but I don't want to use them, I prefer a clean install, and never had any problems with this until now.
Reproduced on stock and KDE 64 bit ISO images
I've reproduced the same problem in VMware Workstation Pro 14.1.5 with both Kali Linux 64 bit ISO based installation and the KDE 64 bit. My KDE VM I've been running since 2018.4 came out is now unpatchable as dist-upgrade causes the issue reported in OP. Without snapshots and a version left unpatched, both versions are inoperable. Pretty serious, show-stopping bug.
I'm not aware of a KDE version of the VMware image so that's probably not a viable work-around for some of us, though I'm going to give that a shot in the interim and see if I can install KDE as I've successfully done on Ubuntu installations.
