-Kali was working fine untill i did Upgrade last night following this command : apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

-After updating, i was able to login normaly with some missing icon in login screen, then first it was black screen with only text & now blue.

Got exact problem on two different machines. PC's specs are not of the essence, I think VM is more crucial. I'm using VMware, mb VBox working better. And one significant thing - after I tryed to open terminal system crashes to logon-screen.
Seems x86 is a way stable than x64, at least it updating fine.

[SpectrE_Fth]

so the only solution is to try x86??? do all people are getting this problem after updating ???

Of course there is another solutions:
1) Use the system "as is" and do not update it;
2) Download iso. every time you wish and reinstall the entire system.

@cesargesta whil updating do you get that configuration thing when you can't press OK ???

hello problem is qt https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugr...cgi?bug=843208

@hausoo: It's for KDE, not Gnome.

@Bleobq: Updating is crucial for not being vulnerable too !

@SpectrE_Fth: Have you take a look at yours logs ? Maybe a Gnome update is not correctly installed.

I had the exact same problem with a slight variance in the way the screen appeared at the completion of apt-get upgrade. It seemed that update worked fine until I upgraded. I delete my entire lab top and reinstalled Kali 2016-2 on my acer es 15 { also windows 10 real pain} I redid apt-get update then went straight to apt-get dist-update everything seems to be fine now. I now have kali 2016-3-2 on my labtop and windows 10 on EUFI

It seemed I now have kali 2016-3-2 on my labtop and windows 10 on EUFI

I also have kali-linux dual boot with windows 10 on UEFI system but I didn't have this problem. If you do apt-get upgrade, does weird screen appear again?

@SpectrE_Fth
have u done with it?

it`s quite simple, reboot and wait for the login screen, type: Ctrl+Alt+F1~F6 （i`m not sure which button match your PC, my laptop use F2） whatever~
and make sure you saw your NULL-interface account login, after login with command line, type : dpkg --configure -a

just wait finish upgrade.

this mess cause lose some data when you doing upgrade, continue to upgrade ,it`s will be solved!

forgive my poor english.
