Hello,
I created my own linux image in minimal version. That means without GUI. But when starting, the default console is too small and uses only 1/4 of the monitor. But there is a possibility to switch to another console using ctrl+alt+F2. But that does not solve the problem. What do I need to set for the default console to be full screen? Any idea?
And here is my package list:
Live image
You always want these:
kali-linux-core
Metapackages
Graphical desktop
Kali applications
#
mc
tio
htop

full screen would depend on your monitor, if its 4k for example, then no, early boot is in vga mode. Can be set to 1920 x 1080 max though
Have you ever booted up your favorite Linux distro only to squint at an oddly stretched desktop? Or perhaps you connect to a remote server and get greeted by tiny text? Setting the ideal screen resolution is key for a comfortable and functional...

I found the problem. It’s one of these packages. Since I don’t need them, I disabled them all.
