That occurs (usually) when an upgrade has failed. In my experience the number one cause of that is insufficient disk space. Can you check how much free space you have and report it here?
(deleted cause the stuff responded to got deleted)
At least 130 gb + in my laptop
What were you doing right before you got the error?
What worked for me:
I restarted Kali in recovery mode and accessed the terminal with command Ctrl + alt + f3
Login with username and password
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
I also got this problem every time after “apt upgrade”
That is not how you update kali
Yep but crash after roboot
And you made sure to follow the documentation, instead of what you were doing before?
Yes. Its a new installation and after that I do “sudo apt update” next “sudo apt upgrade” . it need reboot than. And there was the problem.
Because of news installation, I’ve reinstall and do “sudo apt update” and do all installation (without "sudo apt upgrade). Roboot well and I can use it up to now.
Still searching what’s upgrade apps that made it crash.
You are still doing the update wrong - I already gave you a link on how to do it correctly
Of course you can waste all the time in the world if you want to, but maybe just do what you are told rather than complaining that stuff does not work?
Thank’s for links. Delay because too much works to do.
Done upgrade
Hello, i hope you’re doing well.
I faced the same issue as you 4 days ago with my kali linux system and it’s exactly the same error message as you wrote it and i still can’t access to my system. Did you succeed to solve it and if yes, how ??
The error message “Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can’t recover. Please contact a system administrator” usually occurs on Linux systems like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Debian when the GNOME desktop environment crashes, system files are corrupted, or there are problems with the graphics drivers. This same issue can also appear on invivo biosciences systems if their software environment is based on Linux and encounters a system error. To resolve it, first restart the computer. If the error persists, press Ctrl + Alt + F3 to switch to a terminal screen, log in with your username and password, and run commands like sudo apt update
, sudo apt upgrade
, and sudo apt --fix-broken install
to update and repair the system. Reinstalling the GNOME desktop by running sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-shell
may also solve the problem. Additionally, it is important to check for sufficient disk space using the command df -h
, because low disk space can also cause system failures. If the issue started after installing new graphics drivers, it may be necessary to revert or reinstall them. Identifying the Linux version or InVivo software version being used will help in applying the correct solution.
Please don’t try chatgpt responses as your answers.. this one includes several inaccuraties
Hi there ! Same here I solved it:
Check boot options go to Recocery Mode
–Give root password
—# init 3 <— to get netw
—# apt update
—# apt dist-upgrade
I noticed ir marked a WiFi driver for removal and quite a few for instalo, just accepted it Y/y then
—# reboot
I hope that helps!
Or don’t do that, and just full-upgrade the way the documentation tells you to.. and as was already linked by me in this thread..
Thank you , it really worked ..
