Installed Kali Linux dual booting with Windows 11. Gets stuck on boot after the kali dragon logo shows up.
Initially I searched and found that a possible cause could be NVidia drivers. So, after logging in through tty2, I followed this doc to install the drivers. After this I rebooted but now tty2 isn't working as well. Just a blinking dash appears in the corner. How can I solve this issue?
Specifications: HP Victus 1093dx Intel 13th Gen CPU NVidia RTX 3050 6gb P.S: I was able to get access to tty2 again by changing grub boot option "quiet splash" to "single". These were the results of some descriptive commands. |
While it CAN be done, I never install Kali. IT runs fine from a USB device in LIVE mode or with persistence, avoiding any such issues.

First of all you need to check the logs, look for a related error message. What you posted is not enough to solve it.

Did you edit bios to boot linux before install and is a esp or efi partition being used.
Also. Does not Windows 11 Microsoft store install kali for you (wsl-install). Anyways. Here is instructions for bios settings during kali install from usb. Talking about secure boot. https://medium.com/@gevinnanayakkara...e-f83eb4d38ced I don't run Kali on my Chromebook anymore. I run antiX instead. So kinda stabbing in the dark here. Edit: but I do check md5sum checks of downloaded linux isos before every install. |
I have to ask two questions of the OP.
1. Could you please provide the requisite log files for up either by using the code tags here on the forums or a service like paste bin? 2. Could the OP also please rethink the wording of his question? |
Post your log file here then we can help you.

Sorry, I won't be able to provide the log files anymore since I have uninstalled Kali Linux and using Ubuntu and Windows 11. Ubuntu's dedicated driver downloader worked without issues. I guess it is just a Kali Linux issue.
P.S. For future reference, which log file should I have posted? Where do I find it? |
Log files on Linux are in the /var/log directory and many are readable by an ordinary user. Take a look there for the types of log files. I would have started with boot.log or dmesg.
I would have suggested you explain why you thought it was a driver issue and the source of that could have been linked. The more detail you post, the more likely you are to get help, for future reference. You might take a look at the various log files just to familiarize yourself with them for future use. |
