Change lightdm to gdm3 Problem not solved. I try clear install from kali-linux-xfce-2018-W47-amd64.iso - and have this issue after install. |

The same issue. Exists only under root user! I also can't create files or folders on the desktop. Paste files or folders to desktop. No errors, just no reaction. I guess that problem in dbus. Maybe downgrade can help, but I don't know how to do it. |

Please, share workaround if you have. |
