I was able to access the VM two days ago before this previous update and all was well. When I boot, it posts like a copyright disclaimer, and then a blank cursor, then it just freezes there.I recently had a few Windows updates in the past few days. Hope this helps in someway.I try looking for a nf file, but I couldn't find it. Any help with that is greatly appreciated!įrom Wikipedia " nf is a file used for configuring the X.Org Server. I somehow have the feeling that I just need some more tweaking in the nf. I think it must work somehow, because it the driver and X generally work together, so I don't think that the other GPU causes any trouble.
The problem is that I now try to make Gnome appear on the notebook's display as well. I opened up the Nvidia settings to make sure that I was actually running Gnome with the Nvidia driver, and it was/is the case, but only on the external screen. When I power on my Samsung monitor and start GDM3, I do get Gnome up and running on the external monitor when pressing Ctrl-Alt-F7. After that, GDM3 seemed to start up, but my notebook only showed the blinking cursor on a blank screen, as mentioned above. GDM3 didn't start up at all, the log showed the error NO DEVICES FOUND. The notebook itself has its display and an HDMI output where I usually have a Samsung flat screen connected.Īfter installing the Nvidia drivers and runnning nvidia-xconfig, X resp. But there's a little progress! I have a Dell Precision mobile workstation with 2 GPU's, the integrated Intel and a Quadro 4000M. I was facing the same issue and it still does not work completely. I would recommend to use VM when testing to avoid data loss. Though there's some differences, but you will quickly get used to it and be able to port solutions to Kali. If you're not too sure, I would suggest to load Ubuntu or Mint (those are more widely supported by hardware vendors and better community support for new users) and compare settings with Kali. That means you'll be able to login and start troubleshooting in X.ĭon't know what you mean by "stop opening screen from scrolling"! By deleting nf file and rebooting PC will allow your system to generate a new or load default X settings. Most black screens in Kali Linux with blinking cursor issue is due to X settings being incorrect. ThanksFrom Wikipedia " nf is a file used for configuring the X.Org Server. What is the file "nf"? What will be the effect if I delete it? Where is the file? Oh yes, how do I stop the opening screen from scrolling when Kali is loading? I have checked graphics drivers and they are up to date. Have tried a couple of proposed solutions without success. I am having the "black screen" problem also.
