    Question How to remove this error?

    Hi guys. I had finally dual booted kali linux(rolling 2016.1 64-bit) and windows 10 on a uefi based firmware. I used a hp pavilion-ab215tx. Here are its specs: (Processor- Intel Core i7-6500U. Speed-2.5 GHz. RAM- 8GB DDR3 grahics- NVIDIA GeForce 940M).

    So i have this error show up when i chose kali from grub i.e during kali boot time. It displays a lot of errors.I will attach a screenshot of the errors. The thing is that these errors do not prevent me from logging into kali. I am still able able to login into kali and use it normally. But i would like to remove this error. Any help would be nice! Let me know in case you need more information ! Thx a lot guys!IMG_20170304_121857.jpg
    [And i have tried installing the nvidia drivers! That does not work! It breaks kali, kali sayd unable to login!!]

    You might find some helpful info in the output of dmesg, or /var/log. From the look of it, it appears to be some hardware incompatibilities in video, BIOS, and bluetooth.

    You could probably knock out the nouveau and bluetooth errors by blacklisting those drivers.

    Just run dmesg from the command line, and grep the output for keywords like nvidia, error... As far as /var/log, when troubleshooting, I typically look at the most recently modified log files. There are some directions on blacklisting drivers at http://docs.kali.org/general-use/ins...-on-kali-linux

    How are your linux skills in general? Are you comfortable nosing around in the filesystem and such?

    That has the look of a hardware compatibility problem to me. Are you running the latest version of Kali?

    You're welcome

    Got it. While you don't have to be a Linux expert to use Kali, you need a fairly good grasp of it. Kali doesn't work like a regular distro (Ubuntu, Mint, etc).

    Do you have another machine you can try? A bootable Kali DVD or USB would work. This will tell you for sure if it's hardware.

    Sorry for the late reply man. Yes i do have a bootable kali usb. So i just have to live boot and see if these errors pop right?

    Exactly, trying in another machine should tell you if it's hardware incompatibility

    Lol I just got too salty about the error I guess. So what I did was wipe everything, installed windows in legacy mode this time. So I installed Kali in legacy just fine. But as usual these two errors come up. It's different this time though. Attached the images. Thx for all ur help! Still looking for a way to fix it!

    Legacy BIOS is the worst option i would choose for these 2 most useful operating systems.
