Boot in Single User mode works

Boot: linux-persistence single

But if i do init 2 the X-Server runs and no Keyboard, Mouse work.

In attach see the Xorg.0.log and dmesg

[ds2k5]

i found this in /var/log/gdm3/:0.log

is there a fix to this yet..im having this issue now? should we just stay away from updates?

[ds2k5]

sorry not yet

[ds2k5]

for me it works this

format the persistence partiton, mount and create the persistence.conf boot in persistence mode
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade (but abort this)

apt-get install <all packages without kernel ( linux-image-amd64, linux-image-3.18.0-kali-amd, x-server-xorg-core, xserver-xepher, xvfb )

do this work for anybody else ?


i will try to find the package(s) that make the issue

[ds2k5]

may be i found a solution

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade (abort)
install all + xfonts-100dpi but not the linux kernel packages


thanks

I am new to the Linux system, so help me please, I am with you that the Linux kernel is the issue, but it is configuration issue nothing more nothing less I think. I have some ideas I wish you guys point me to the right way:
-What is the config for the mouse and keyboard file located? is it in Udev in etc?
-If I updated/upgrade Kali live not Kali live persistent, will that upgrade persistent? or all of these info will be wiped out after reboot?
-Can I access the persistent config files from the Kali live to repair this configuration?
Lets work together to solve this.
Thanks

if you can install the older kernel (from iso/dvd) packages and remove the newer
it can help may be.

linux-image-3.18.0-kali1-amd and linux-image-amd64
or boot in live mode an copy the vmlinuz-3.18.0-kali1-amd64 and initrd.img.3.18.0-kali1-amd64 from /boot
repacle this on your installation in /boot
but save the orginal files

Didn't help, still nothing. This happened after i did install linux image, i installed all one by one except 6 packages ( i don't rememeber which exactly).
Then i installed this, rebooted my macbook and now i can use only live mode.

[anhidonia]

I see what you meant, as initrd.img is broken, the link target is /boot/initrd.img-3.18.0-kali3-amd64, and there is no such file in the live boot, I am trying to find the image and install it in the boot file, hoping this will save my system.
What do you think?

[anhidonia]

I have installed the kali in a new box, then did the kali persistent on the usb, updated my box, then copied inux-image-3.18.0-kali1-amd and linux-image-amd64 into my persistant kali,
same issue did not resolve anything, still the drivers is messed up, now the screen resolution, keyboard and mouse are not working,
I think the problem now in the drivers, and this happened from the first instant.
Any other ideas?
thanks

only do all updates but not the kernel

[bandit66]

after a week of messing around I found this in the logs: kernel: [ 25.430109] i2c_core: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout
which led me to: https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=2155
so I am getting the bugfix version and will see if that resolves it.....

[nuroo]

Did a fresh install to fix this problem, leaving out updating the kernel headers. Seemed to help the problem until I installed nvidia drivers. Lag back again.

Need nvidia and cuda drivers though.

I just saw the update on the bug Bandit66 supposed to be repaired on the 3/10, after i have gave up .......
So I will reinstall eveyrthing and will give you update regarding it, thanks bandit66 for informing us.
