Completely black screen when installing Kali M1 version #4090

bacchilega · 2022-06-02T23:36:54Z

When I try to install Kali Linux with graphical installation the screen go black.
Note: I'm using the M1 installer provided by kali linux website.

UTM Version: 3.2.4
Monterey 12.2.1
Mac M1 air 2020

allytag · 2022-06-04T13:35:39Z

I am also facing the same issue. :) UTM is not good...

bacchilega · 2022-06-04T15:49:50Z

I like UTMm but if you really need to install Kali fast, try to install Parallels until this bug is not fixed.
Thank you UTM team.

MichaelKofler · 2022-06-08T10:56:38Z

Same problem. Was able to do a installation in text mode, graphics would run afterwards (i.e. after the installation has finished).

MichaelKofler · 2022-06-08T11:05:43Z

PS: also tried nomodeset kernel option, won't help. Neither video=1024x768.

JCFlores93 · 2022-06-11T13:48:47Z

In my case after showing an error the screen become black.
Error:

JCFlores93 · 2022-06-11T14:02:25Z

At which point was this error shown? While booting, while running the installer, or something else?

JCFlores93 · 2022-06-11T15:11:01Z

Yes, while running the installer. Exactly after I select the Graphic installer option.

bacchilega · 2022-06-11T22:04:56Z

I confirm. The error is encountered after select the graphic installer option

adamwitherspoon-cars · 2022-06-16T23:59:46Z

OS: Mac OS Monterey 12.4
MacBook Pro: M1 Pro (16-inch, 2021)
UTM: Version 3.2.4 (58)

Graphical installer fails with

then black screen and hangs

vko-online · 2022-07-01T16:36:41Z

for anyone struggling, just install without graphics, its straightforward and easy. later it will give option to install desktop environment (checked by default)

After installation finished, move USB disk down in UTM settings, as it will try to install again.

freshprince96 · 2022-07-12T03:27:46Z

Im having the same issue. After I select "graphical Install" I get the same error message, followed by a completely dark screen. Anyone ever solved this issue? Does UTM know of this issue? Im currently running Mac OS 12.4 M1 chip.

I did what @vko-online suggested and it works like a charm.

deFr0ggy · 2022-08-10T11:55:28Z

It seems like there is an issue with UTM, I checked the same and it seems like Kali Linux is not loading either with Graphics Mode and with no graphics.

The screen gets stuck for both.

rmangino · 2022-08-10T16:32:23Z

Running into the exact same problem on an M1 mac running 12.5. Both graphical and text installs hang indefinitely.

This is where my install hangs.

bacchilega · 2022-08-10T16:34:18Z

@rmangino same issue with both

jhonsay · 2022-08-12T16:32:32Z

Hi to everyBody. I was the same problem like you and I can fix it with the following steps.

1º- Edit the VM in UTM and change in Display the TYPE from Full Graphics to Text only.
2º- Then run the VM with the ISO of Kali Linux and select the first kind of installation. In the progress you can install a GUI interface.
3º- When the installation was finished, log in and shutdown.
4º- Edit the VM again and change in Display the TYPE to Full Graphics.
5º- Done.

The problem is the Installation program, it hasn't got a correct display drivers.

Luck !

deFr0ggy · 2022-08-12T17:54:36Z

I tried the same before though the issue remained the same. I have moved onto Parallels for Mac and it works like a charm. Better than VirtualBox and VMWare TBH!

jhonsay · 2022-08-12T19:03:35Z

did you try exactly what i said?, step by step?. It's work perfect and with free open source platform :)

With the latest apt updates for Kali Linux, a functioning Kali Linux installation with a working GUI just turns black on reboot. I can still interact with it via the shell, but the screen is just black (except the cursor). Does anyone have a clue why?

I'm using UTM 3.2.4 and Kali Linux 2022.3 with the latest version of all available pre-installed packages.

Easy to fix

Change Emulated Display card from virtio-ramfb-gl to virtio-ramfb or virtio-gpu-pci.

Looks like a display driver problem 😢
