Summary0003550: lightdm/XFCE gui is broken on Hyper-V
Description

Kali Linux 2016.2 xfce build newly installed on Hyper-V

After I do an apt update and apt upgrade. Then after a reboot, GUI doesn't load. I tried submiting my user and password, there's a blink and go black screen again.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Install Kali 2016.2 xfce build
  2. apt update
  3. apt upgrade
  4. reboot
  5. Everything loads fine until GUI starts, screen goes black.
  6. Submiting credentials produces a blink, but nothing loads, screen stills empty and black.

Sorry, not able to reproduce this. Do you have further debugging info you can provide?

Strange, I'm sorry that is all I did. I did it 2 times by reverting back to the newly installed snapshot, and another time for a new VM.

Is there any other information you want me to provide?

This might be a problem of Hyper-V.

I've tried installing it on Proxmox with the same image, no problem at all.

Seems like it's Hyper-V :(

Hi!
Can you please try to reinstall kali, and then run apt-get install slim. It will ask you to select a default display manager. Chose slim and it will work.
The reason for this is that lightdm is buggerd. If you want to revert back to lightdm just run dpkg --reconfigure slim and chose lightdm as default.

Hope this helps! :)

I did a brand new install this morning based off of 2016.2.xfce.amd64. With the default (kali-rolling) repo, I did a full dist-upgrade, rebooted, and it was still broken.

I added the kali-dev repo, did a dist-upgrade (with no other changes) and rebooted. The packages that fixed it are libgtk-3-0 libgtk-3-bin libgtk-3-common gtk-update-icon-cache gir1.2-gtk-3.0.

Once these packages hit kali-rolling, this issue should be resolved.

PS: If you are not familiar with updating screen resolution for Hyper-V, you can update it via grub, like such:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet video=hyperv_fb:1280x720"

iqzer0 and anarchy89, please don't hijack this bug report for unrelated issues on raspberry pi 3. This one is about graphical problems on Hyper-V, microsoft's cloud platform.

Should be fixed with libgtk-3-0 3.21.6-1~kali1 in kali-rolling now.
