Frequently Asked Questions

How do I stop Kali Linux from freezing?

Use the Linux Terminal
If it were a program running on the terminal, the easiest way would press Ctrl + C to stop it. This combination sends a SIGINT signal that interrupts/stops the program. In other systems, the 'Delete' or 'Break' can perform the same action.

How do I fix the login loop in Kali Linux?

Press CTRL + ALT + F4 then login using your username and password. sudo shutdown -r now to restart.

Can not login in Kali Linux?

While setting up kali linux, you set up the domain, host and password; but not the username. So if you are stuck, just use the username "root" and give the password that you gave during installation (or “toor”, if you gave none). Worked for me. But make sure, you create a proper user after logging in.
