    Kali Linux 2023.1 Hyper-V VM - lightdm.service error on first start after installation

    I have a new installation of Kali Linux 2023.1 as a VM on Windows 11 Hyper-V.

    On first reboot after fresh installation, I am getting lightdm.service error.

    Upon checking the status, it gives a message Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service; enabled; present: disabled) and process failure too.

    I am attaching the screenshot for reference.

    Solution required. Any help will be appreciated.

    Same here, seems to be a common issue.

    No luck with this:

    I'll try and install a different WM
    https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/metapackages/

    kali-desktop-e17: Enlightenment (WM)
    kali-desktop-gnome: GNOME (DE)
    kali-desktop-i3: i3 (WM)
    kali-desktop-kde: KDE (DE)
    kali-desktop-lxde: LXDE (WM)
    kali-desktop-mate: MATE (DE)
    kali-desktop-xfce: Xfce (WM)


    Then run kali tweaks
