| Summary | 0005650: Reboot or shutdown will eventually cause an infinite loop of errors | ||||
| Description | Rebooting or shutting down can cause an infinite loop of a SQUASHFS error. So far, this has only been tested on VMWare Fusion. It will only affect shutdown or reboot, so far not both, and only in live boot. The Kali gnome ISOs cause these issues, and though reboot and shutdown will sometimes slow a bit on other ISOs it will not loop errors ever. This occurs with 2gb of ram, 16gb of ram, a fresh ISO download and fresh vm created with it, and different computers. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Download 2019.3 kali-amd64 ISO, create a new VM with 2 cpus and 2 gb of ram, load into live boot and reboot. Repeat the loading into live boot and rebooting at most 5 times and it'll begin looping, sometimes it can happen on the 1st try others on the 3rd. If reboot does not trigger it, try shutdown. | ||||

image.png is an error that occurs on shutdown sometimes however will eventually shutdown, image (1).png is the error that will loop. |

Sophie can reproduce it with VirtualBox almost every time, but i don't reproduce it with kvm. It would be interesting to know the result on real hardware. |
 |
Can't reproduce either in vmware or real machine (I have samsung ssd and ssd to usb-c adapter, so I can both use it as external physical drive for vmware or boot from it))) |

@Balling did you test with a daily image? https://archive.kali.org/kali-daily-images/ |

Okay, maybe I misunderstoot smth)) I checked my installation. Though all is updated to latest)) |

It will still occur on VMWare Fusion, however on physical hardware it is not being replicated. |
 |
Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling <= 2019.2), these legacy versions are no longer supported. Please could you see if you are able to replicate this issue with the latest version of Kali Linux - https://www.kali.org/downloads/? If you are still facing the same problem, feel free to re-open the ticket. If you choose to do this, could you provide more information to the issue you are facing, and also give information about your setup? |
