0007892 | Kali Linux | [All Projects] Kali Package Bug | public | 2022-08-26 01:39 | 2022-12-23 07:33 |

Summary | 0007892: Kali 2022.3 GUI not compatible with Hyper-V 2022 bare metal | ||||
Description | When booting a new 2022.3 installation OR an updated previous version with the 5.18 kernel, lightdm will not run. This appears to be Hyper-V only. It works fine in VirtualBox. This happens even if kali-tweaks Hyper-V enhanced is installed. Work around is to use 5.16 kernel. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Install 2022.3 or update a previous version (my testing used 2022.2), lightdm does not run. One gets a blinking cursor in the upper left corner. One is still able to ALT + Fn a TTY, but GUI will not start. Neither executing "lightdm" or "startx" works. Error message attached. If when starting one chooses the 5.16 kernel instead, the GUI runs fine. It appears to be a difference between 5.16 and 5.18. | ||||

Can you give the dmesg and lsmod output please? Also, can you show the lightdm logs as well? They should be in /var/log/lightdm/ |
|
Attached. Let me know if you need anything else. lsmod.log (2,587 bytes) lightdm.log (2,925 bytes) dmesg.log (38,263 bytes) |
|
Can you also attach the xorg log file from the lightdm folder? |
|
Attached Xorg.0.log (6,527 bytes) |
|
This one also. x-0.log (1,242 bytes) |
|
Okay, can you also boot into 5.16 and attach the same Xorg log files? |
|
Attached x-0-2.log (867 bytes) Xorg.0-2.log (16,243 bytes) |
|
Okay, so it looks like with 5.16, it falls back to fbdev for the driver for Xorg; Can you add an xorg snippet in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-fbdev.conf (create the directory as it likely won't exist) with Section "Device" Identifier "FBDEV" Driver "fbdev" Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0" # Option "ShadowFB" "false" EndSection in it? You may need to adjust the fbX device. (Edited to remove the un-needed not-blanking config bits) |
|
THAT WORKS!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! |
|
Hey Etan, I have a question - what generation is your Hyper-V VM? Is it set to Gen1 or Gen2? (I do not know where to actually find this in the settings, but I'm sure it should say it somewhere in there) |
