Summary | 0004002: unable to log in as root | ||||
Description | I finished installing Kali 2017.1 64 bit. When it rebooted, attempting to log in resulted in the screen turning dark grey and hanging after pressing login. I am able to log in on /dev/tty2, but the gui login is broken. I reinstalled twice. Did apt-get update, upgrade, and dist-upgrade, reconfigured xorg, and everything else I could think of. However, on a whim, I decided to create another user. I am able to log in as that user without any issues. Any help is appreciated | ||||

Sorry, we are not reproducing this issue. It's up to you to provide more information... what do you see in logs? (journalctl) Is there a process that seems to be stuck? Compare the process tree (ps auxf) when you login as root and when you login as user. What session are you using? The GNOME/Xorg one or the GNOME/Wayland one? What display manager are you using? etc. |

Sorry for the delay. I just added the journalctl log. It actually does log in eventually, like 3-5 minutes after the gnome login screen. I am using gnome as the display manager. I thought it might be caused by realmd. In the journalctl, there is a message in the middle of a bunch of xorg stuff, a message "quitting realmd service after timeout". Then it goes back to more xorg stuff. Assuming that it was realmd causing the problem, I uninstalled it. This did not fix the problem. The only thing I see that is suspect is "systemd-logind: failed to take device /dev/ttyS0: No such device" There is no serial port or device on this pc, so I don't know what that's about. Thanks for looking into this |

I'm sorry, it's unlikely that I can help you out any further. I just can't reproduce this and was not able to figure out the problem from the log I saw. |
