kali linux didnt work - amro9999 - Jun 16, 2016
I downloaded Kali Linux and did everything I must do but it shows a black screen only
What should I do to fix it ?

What exactly did you do? What are you trying to install it on? via USB or CD?
You could post a link to the tutorial you used to install kali.

The tutorial isnt in English
I think how I installed it was right but maby I. Downloaded the wrong one .. because I downloaded the 64bit
My laptop I old but Windows8

can you provide specs or model of your computer?
E: you may need to disable secure boot from bios

You might need to change your bios settings to legacy rather than UEFI or make sure you have the right version for your computer.
Here's how to do it in English.
Download win32 disk image
Download the IMG/ISO for kali
Plus in USB - Open win32 disk imager and choose your USB and the img file.
Hit start.
Now reboot your computer once it has finished copying over, during boot press f8 on most computers to boot from USB.

Yeah it could be the fact you downloaded a 64 bit copy - let us know how the i386 copy works.

I have the same problem on my other PC. It has better specs than yours, but I have the same problem. I'm using the 32 bit version so no problem there.

Make sure you check bios for virtualization and change to legacy boot if it has uefi enabled

ok I will check it
thanks

Be more specific...did you do the entire installation ? Did you install it on a virtual machine ?
The best thing is install again..be careful do everything with precision because it's not a very stable system...

It may or may not work with your computer - I installed it on my laptop and all it did was freeze after the login screen. ❓
