    Can't login after the upgrade to Kali linux 2.0

    I'm having a problem after the upgrade attempts, no luck. Upgrading an up-to-date Kali 1.1 to 2.0. but hey, I'd like to get it fixed just ~because~.

    This may not help anyone, but here's what I'm seeing.

    Attempting to boot gets me to a grey frowzy face screen:
    Code:
    Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
    A problem has occurred and the system can't recover.
    Please log out and try again.
    I have two cards installed
    Code:
    Nvidia
    Intel
    After reading the X.org error I found that there is an error which is "No screens found", I've tried uninstalling the gdm3 and the xorg.conf but nothing happened.

    I solve the problem by removing the Nvidia drivers.
    after the black screen I click the ALT+CTRL+F1 and after that use this code
    Code:
    apt-get remove nvidia* --purge
    and after that
    Code:
    reboot
    it works fine

    Hello my friend ..
    I had the same problem
    And I fixed it this way ..
    First u need to boot to recovery
    And plug ethernet cable to your laptop/pc
    Then .
    Apply .
    nano /etc/apt/sources.list
    And erase all sources and past this
    PHP Code:
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
    deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
    deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free 
    Then Ctrl x
    Y
    Enter
    Then apply
    PHP Code:
    apt-get update
    apt
    -get upgrade
    apt
    -get dist-upgrade 
    And I wish it will help u

    None of the options helped me

    I don't have any nvidia driver (coming from a vmware machine) and no luck after adding the two src lines (I already had the others).

    Any help?


    It happened after I dist upgraded to 2.0.

    Finally ,no need of startx i think i have a solution When logout error appear just press
    (Ctrl+Alt and F1 or F2 )
    And enter your previously used root username password or create another user and after that run this command
    # vi /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf (use sudo for non root user )

    And change it
    AutomaticLoginEnable=false
    AutomaticLogin=root or user1 (if u create a new user and want to login from it)

    To

    AutomaticLoginEnable=true
    AutomaticLogin=root or user1

    Psysin, thank you. This works.

    I have been do so many apt-get install/remove/update/upgrade/dist-upgrade/purge/autoremove commands that I'm surprised the system works at all.

    Hey guys. I've tried all of the above options and I still get the "Oh no! Something has gone wrong..." error. What else can I try?

    cd /etc/X11/ if there are xorg.conf . and rename it .

    if not resolve , apt-get install lightdm

    and dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 change gdm3 to lightdm .

    if still not workable ,

    apt-get remove gnome-shell .


    reboot .

    and them apt-get install gnome-shell and gnome-core .

    hope this can help you .
