Kali On VMware Resets After Reboot Or Shutdown And Never Saves Any Changes

Hi,

Previously I had installed VMware Player 6.0.1 with Kali 1.0.6 without any issues. I decided to upgrade both with a clean install to VMware Player 6.0.2 with Kali 1.0.7. Now Kali freezes on me a couple of times a day. When it freezes the light on my caps lock blinks and the only way I can get out is to close VMware Player. Is anybody able to give me some advice on how to fix this. I have reinstalled these again but the same thing. I am a newbie so be gentle.

I'm running Linux on a VMware player and every time I reboot it or shut it down it does not keep any of the changes I have made. Please help.

Hi,
This has never happened before. My system has been stuck while shutting down for almost 6 hours now. After clicking the shutdown button, the top bar and bottom bar on the screen disappeared and now all i can see is my wallpaper, the computer icon and my pointer, cant move anything. What can I do to avoid doing a hard shutdown?

Hi everyone! Hope all is well with you and yours.

So i've been tinkering with installs on my "lab rat" cheapo laptop and since im in a lot of linux courses for my degree in information security. With that said, have you installed kali on an external HD? If so, is there a certain brand you'd recommend? I can dual boot it which i may end up doing. I really want this pen-tester to not be on a visor (i currently use both vmware and vbox.

Looking forward to all your advice. Thanks.

So I'm on the last step of this article to run vmware-install.pl to start installation of my VMware tools and I'm getting this error.

[root@LinuxTest01 vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl
-bash: ./vmware-install.pl: /usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory.

I do a ls in the directory and it shows the installer in there.
[root@LinuxTest01 vmware-tools-distrib]# ls
bin doc etc FILES INSTALL installer lib vmware-install.pl


The only step I didnt do in this article is the prereq. first step because Yum is always trying to connect to the internet and my Centos 7 box is on a classified network with no internet access.

I just wanted to say hi, I am a linux newbie, and enjoying it. I've had a handful of classes and I have a couple decent sandboxes (VMware & VB) with about 6 distros (Kali, Ubuntu desktop & Serv, CentOS, Gentoo, OpenSuse and Slackware). I've been working on my Bachelors in Information Security Management and hopefully headed to grad school next winter.

I love the pen-testing with Kali which has been a prime focus for the past couple years but being confined to a classroom I learn only so much. Which brought me here.

I tend to lurk more than post. I have been lurking for the past couple years and I really like how helpful everyone seems to be, so thanks for the help you didn't know you were giving

Hi,
This may be silly but (paranoid as I am) I do find this strange, my laptop (Xubuntu) had an update earlier, and as I wanted to shutdown, the system wanted an authentication, I hit cancel and the system logged me out, I logged back in and did not have to authenticate anymore to shutdown...glitch or..."trouble"?
Thanks
Thor
PS - I ran RKhunter and it found nothing...

If I do a
shutdown -r 03:15 &
will this only broadcast the shutdown warning messages to people logged into the server directly, or will this also warn users who are connected to samba shares on this server?

Can Somebody help me out by giving me step by step instructions on uninstalling Aircrack-ng 1.2 RC 2 and reinstalling Aircrack-ng 1.2 RC 1? including where to download Aircrack-ng 1.2 RC 1. I am using Kali Linux in VMware Player

Thanks in advance.
