Black screen after apt-get dist-upgrade on kali
0
I've a problem in my Kali Linux after the last Distro upgrade which I did from terminal using the below command
apt-get dist-upgrade
After the upgrade I did the 'Purge' and 'Auto Remove' using apt command and rebooted my Kali. Now my computer ends with black screen after the grub selection. I don't know where to start or where to end.
I made almost ~5hrs googling and surfed internet all round, But no luck. I hope someone here can help me.
I'm ready to provide info about the OS info because I'm able to access my Kali using recovery mode(fail safe).
I would really appreciate for any help or suggestion.

Yeah, that's an old risk with upgrades, instead of doing a clean install when a new release comes out. Standard practice is to have a backup of your data, so just do a clean re-install and then copy your data back (home, etc) and boom done

much appreciate your time answering my question. But I didn't knew that this could cause problems like this. I wish I could do a clean installation but I literally hate doing that because a person who doesn't have any source of backup drive. Any other suggestions @Xen2050 or would you give me some tips on how often I have to update my Kali.

I'm not sure, just guessing but you can still get into recovery mode, so purging & reinstalling packages (perhaps rolling back to an older version) is an option, maybe it's a display/window manager that's having problems. Should still be able to back up your home files so that's good... it's possible a config file in your home is causing problems too, try creating a new user & logging in as them?

that's a good Idea 'creating a new user'. I haven't try that before. I will add a user from recovery mode and let you know the results.

As you mentioned @Xen2050 I've searched a lot and even I've took more than 5hrs (not as a stretch) to solve this problem because this is annoying me like anything and came to a conclusion that this could be a display driver problem. I did downloaded the Intel Graphics driver for amd64 but don't know how to install from recovery mode using terminal. Do you have any suggestion for me
