Kali Freezes All The Time

Ok so I'm trying to install Kali on my computer with the USB install and I have read that anthing after version 1.0.8 should be UEIF compatible. I used Rufus to create the bootable usb with Kali's ISO. When i boot from the usb i get the GRUB loader but no matter if i chose the live or the install it freezes/crashes and get errors like:

no caching mode page found

since the usb is not persistent how can i view or capture the error messages to help me figure out what the problem is?

Also should i just try burning it to disk to see if i get different results? Haven't done it yet because i don't have any DVD's laying around.

My Kali do not want to boot .It freezes at boot kernel.Le only way i had to install was from using the safe mode? I have a laptop asus! That should do?

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.

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.

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,
Im running a dual boot of kali linux 1.1.0 on a mid 2009 macbook pro.
I first opened terminal, navigated to file using #cd /usr/share/wordlists
Then after finding the file, extracted it using #gzip -d rockyou.txt.gz
Navigated to file in filesystem,Double clicked it and 90% into loading rocky.txt from /usr/share/wordlists, the computer freezes and i can not do anything at all. I do not want to revert to doing a hard shutdown. Although I already have and after going through those steps again I get the same result.

I would 1st like to know if anyone knows why this is happening and what i can do to fix this issue? As well as, what I can do in general if my computer ever freezes up. Thank You.

Kali on VMware resets after reboot or shutdown and never saves any changes: no new downloads, files, no changes at all

OK, so I am taking Cyber security classes at my college, and I am getting myself into pen testing and stuff of that sort (but still completely a newbie). I am deciding between what OS I want for my laptop < Debian or Kali >. I know Kali is used mostly for security field type work, but I would also like to be able to practice on my Developing skills to. would kali os be a good choice for me or would debian be a better choice for security/development? I have met a few security professionals who keep telling me that real professionals use whatever os they want and just build their own tools?

I am running linux mint 17 and every few times I put new files on my mp3 player the files end up being corrupted,and when I connect to my windows machine it says that the mp3 player has some bad files on it. Can anyone shed some light on this problem,I use Dolphin file manager.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi.

I've just bought this spanking new Dell with Ubuntu Linux on it, but when I'm trying to upgrade from 12.02 to 14.04, it just freezes during installation when it's unpacking adium ubuntu theme.

What should I do?

Should I restore factory settings and try again? or should I just leave it at 12.02?

I've searched online already, but it's been fruitless.

EDIT: Of course, I've updated everything else before I did the switch.
