    Kali Linux freezes at boot

    I restarted Kali Linux and I got a screen that goes down to "[ OK ] Started User Manager", with a stuck cursor. I'm currently dualbooting 32 bit Kali Linux with Windows 10 64 bit with 15 gigs of space for Kali Linux using a Statelite C855D. What I was doing before was change the theme using the Gnome Tweak tool, making a tool to easily access different hacking tools, and changing monitor mode on Wireless card, nothing other then that. I didn't mesd with anything too technical or boot settings or anything like that. How can I repair this? Screenshot: https://postimg.org/image/6b5kj2u99/

    I haven't seen this problem on a real PC but experienced it in a VM under Xen. The issue has to due with gdm attempting to use wayland session. Make sure you have a /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf present and that there is a 'WaylandEnable=false' present in that conf file. To make these changes you will either have to use rescue cd or boot into runlevel 3.
