Hi, new guy here, was able to install the virtual VM ware workstation version of Kali Linux on a Windows 10 machine, I can start a VM session (as a guest) everything looks great, the default user name and password seem to work fine (root/toor) and I am brought to the Kali desktop/dash board with the flying dragon logo and the applications on the left side of the screen,
However, when I try to open any of the applications (using the mouse), a short column of command line flashes momentarily then the log in menu re-appears. I re-enter the default username and password again, and it brings me back to the desktop/dashboard. This happens no matter what application I try to open, whether it is nmap, armitage, etc.
Am I doing something wrong, missing a step or have a corrupt installation? I tried numerous topic searches but could not find a thread that might apply.
Many thanks!
