    cant login 4.12.0-kali1-amd64 after dist-upgrade with errors

    on september the 13th, I executed an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.
    I wasn't cautios enough to log the error message received
    after a reboot, I can't pass the login menu, when inserting correct credentials I am shown a black screen and asked for credentials again, if I type the wrong credentials the system correctly tells me credentials are wrong.

    When booting in safe mode and consulting the logs I get the messages shown in attachments.

    linxu: 4.12.0
    kali1-amd64

    virtualized in vmware 12 Player.

    appreciate any help/tips

    trying to login with Gnome, classic or Xorg wouldn't help.

    solution
    after boot, go to Opciones Avanzadas, choose latest Kernel with (recovery mode)
    enter
    type your root credentials
    systemctl default

    ip link show eth0
    ip link set eth0 up
    dhclient eth0
    apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

    % .... error ... fix broken dependencies with apt --fix-broken install
    apt --fix-broken install
    apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
    systemctl reboot
