    A start job is running

    Hello everyone,

    I am fairly new to the Kali distro and to the Linux world. I have some experience from 10 years ago when I was on highschool, but since that time nothing.
    I installed Kali and when booting after GRUB ( when services are starting ), its stuck on: " A Start Job is running for: ** and here are 4 services **

    - LSB: thin initscript
    - Account Services
    - Network Manager
    - Authenticate and Authorize users to run privileged tasks

    The Countdown is set to 90 sec, after 90 sec it will go to other services and than again to these 4 and again 90 sec timer.

    When i press CTRL C or ESC it will pass with OK checkmark.

    After boot it will work normally as it should but I am puzzled why is this time there and how to fix it ?
    I was also browsing forum but did not find any solution here nor on any other website.
    Anyone can assist with this ?

    So far i love Kali and trying to learn new things.

    Thanks for your help.

    EDIT:
    Hello all, sorry for not providing enough info, i have already received warning.

    Kali distro is one I downloaded from the site itself, 64bit: Version 2016.2 64bit
    Hardware is stock: DELL Latitude E6230 SSD Drive, 16GB RAM

    On what hardware do you have Kali installed? Sounds like there might be some incompatibilities.

    Hello Grid, thanks for reacting, please check my update on post.
    Also I have run the update for packages and issue disappeared by itself - seems resolved now.

    I am still interested on the what the solution could be,

    Glad it's working for you. Have a look in /var/log, and the output of dmesg. Hopefully that will give you some clues as to what went wrong.
