How to fix log in screen loop error in Kali Linux

Question

After I've updated Kali Linux, I can't log in anymore. When I enter the password login screen just reappears over and over again.

What have I already tried:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

fixing updates:

sudo apt install -f

reinstalling gnome (and several other desktops)

sudo apt update sudo apt install kali-desktop-gnome

And finishing interrupted updates:

dpkg --configure -a

(also when I type in this command nothing happens)

What else can I try?

Answer 1

I have seen that here.

Get to a terminal screen with Ctrl-Alt-F1 . Log in.

Then, sudo apt autoremove .

Restart and you should be able to login normally.

Then run normal update again.

This has worked for me.
