Summary0006292: Kali Linux CRASHES during BOOT following UPDATE/UPGRADE
Description

VERSION = 2020.2

Directly following "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" Kali Linux (dual boot)
CRASHES about 75% into boot sequence. (I update and upgrade about everyday.)

I tried recovery mode (5.5.0) which brought me to a command line, tried to update+update to see if a package may have not installed (and was held back) but all seemed to have installed.
** I did notice toward the end of the initial update+upgrade+dist-upgrade, there was an error but can not remember what it was
because everything seemed to have installed. The error took up about 10 lines (may have been a FIRMWARE issue?)

** I attached a screenshot of the 'CRASH SCREEN'.

Thanks for your time.

I just checked over on Kali Troubleshooting and a guy just in the past hour posted a similar issue. He had the 'output' from the update/upgrade/dist-upgrade. I THINK it is what mine stated on my updating/upgrading. I will copy-paste it below.

The new kernel is not involved in your problem. The screenshot that you are showing is a typical error screen of gnome-shell.

Debian is switching to GNOME 3.36 and Debian Testing (and thus kali-rolling) currently has a mixture of GNOME 3.34 and GNOME 3.36. I believe that this is the root cause that results in this breakage. We will look into importing the missing pieces from Debian unstable.

We have imported the missing packages in kali-rolling. It will fix gdm3.
You'll have to update and upgrade your system to get the latest version required by gdm3, like gnome-shell version 3.36.1-5
(the mirror you used may not be up to date yet, it takes time)

Okay, I was able to install what was needed to advance to login. Thank you!

  • Just a 'heads-up'... I attached a screenshot of/in tweaks/extensions. 'Workspaces to dock' may be outdated. Mine do not appear.

Thanks for your time.

its work with debian backages

vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unstable.list

Paste:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main

:wq Enter

then

apt update

apt -t unstable install gnome-shell

reboot

rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unstable.list

and worked :wink:
but my question is, this way works on all new packages?

I've been checking but it (gnome-shell-extension-workspaces-to-dock version 52+git20200318-0kali1) hasn't become available yet. I'll give it some more time.

Thanks a lot.

Delete or rename all files in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell then logout and login then should be fixed

Hope that helps :)
