Kali Linux Graphic Interface = Black Screen
Helloe veryone !
I have Kali Linux since a month now, and the "F7" just crashed.
When I boot, I can go till the Grub, I boot (I can see around 5 "[FAILED]" instructions in the list), and finally, when the Graphic Interface should start, it just show me a black screen (with a blinking cursor on the top left).
All the F1<->F6 work well, but I can do graphic anymore :/
Does someone know how to fix it ? (I am root)
My computer is en emachines, intel celeron, ~6 yo, it was a Windows Vista before I totally erased it by installing Kali.
Thanks for your help !

it sounds like your system has corrupted, I had this issue when some of my key files got deleted on kali. had to reinstall, though if your FS isnt encrypted you should be ok booting a live disk and repairing the system

I cannot give you a straight answer because you haven't given me a straight question but I will lay out some of the steps you should try out.
- First and foremost, this is the most important step. DO NOT USE ROOT. Get out of root and use your own user. A lot of Linux distros don't allow you to run
Xwhile in root, for good reasons, and you shouldn't. - Second, read the error messages.
Linuxis verbose and tells you what the problem is straight out. So, a simple reading of the error message and a bit of googling goes a long way. - Thirdly, if you hit
alt-ctrl-F1you will get to the tty. You can login to a fully functional system. You can try to runXfrom there and see what happens. And don't forget number 1, not in root.
If you get a clear error message, you can google it or possibly go to the distro forums and ask for help while posting your error message.
I hope this helps.
