    Kali Not Booting after Nvdia driver install

    I followed the instructions here https://docs.kali.org/general-use/in...-on-kali-linux till the installation part and then rebooted as instructed. However I am not able to get to the login screen because I'm stuck on this instead:
    [ 0.122942] platform MSFT0101:00: failed to claim resource 1: [mem 0xfed40000
    -0xfed40fff]
    /dev/sda7: recovering journal
    /dev/sda7: clean, 416428/2174816 files, 4826049/8692992 blocks
    [ 17.203822] platform regulatory.0: firmware: failed to load regulatory.db (-2)

    [ 18.202628] Bluetooth hci0: firmware: failed to load rt1_bt/rt18821a_config.bin (-2)



    Please help!! I am relatively new to Kali and Linux in general.

    At "[ 18.202628] Bluetooth hci0: firmware: failed to load rt1_bt/rt18821a_config.bin (-2)" try pressing "Ctrl + Alt + F2" together to access CLI.
    And if possible try typing:

    apt install --reinstall
    ocl-icd-libopencl1 nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-toolkit -y

    this should reinstall nvidia driver
    And after reboot, you might have to wait for few minutes before GUI shows up
    + currently nvidia-cuda-toolkit is unavailable from kali repo.

    @Sammy98, this is completely unrelated, this is the bluetooth config that is missing.

    Not sure if related, but https://groups.google.com/forum/#!to...pc/KeE_dnXThz8 suggests to enable/disable legacy boot.

    In any case, make sure to run the latest kernel FIRST before installing nvidia drivers: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade then reboot. If you already tried installing drivers, I would recommend reinstalling if possible.

    From what I found, you may install driver and cuda/opencl stuff automatically with apt-get install hashcat-nvidia
