Ihave been trying to install Kali Linux on my 2 day old hp Spectre. The primary OS was windows 10. The installation completes just fine but problem is that it gets stuck after inputting the root password. I have tried Kali Linux 2019, 2016, 2017 all behaving the same. Is this a noted and solvable problem or this model does not support Linux. I really need to fix this. Please help.

I'm sorry, but we here are not equipped to provide detailed Linux support.



HP only warranties their PCs for usage with the OS that comes preinstalled. IF you replace that with Linux, or add a Linux OS, then you assume full responsibility for maintaining that -- as HP provides Linux assistance only on Redhat and then only to commercial customers.



The primary "challenge" to using Linux on any HP PC is the availability of Linux drivers. Any hardware that does not work will then range from simple (if there are Linux drivers available) to impossible (if there are NO Linux drivers available) to fix.



Since HP does not provide Linux drivers, your best bet for Linux support is to contact the support forum for the Linux distro you are using.


Folks on Linux support forums have experience using a variety of machines with Linux and know a lot about driver and installation issues. You will be able to get sound and detailed help there.



Good Luck


Kali is a Debian based distro for hackers. I'd suggest the same as WAWood to seek help at the Kali linux forums or install Debian and then all the Kali linux apps. Linux is a highly customizable system and I can't imagine a computer system based on the x86 architecture that wouldn't support linux unless the computer has a brand new chipset not supported by the kernel yet.


Why do you input the root password? It should be done during the installation and then used in a terminal or shell. Are you logging as root into your desktop environment? If so it could be a bug but ask the Kali community first..


Thanks for the tips. There's still something fishy going on with the alfa. I dug out a rtl8187 I had at my studio. That's working fine with everything in kali 2.0 as a vmware guest in os x 10.9.5. My pineapple MK5 is also interfacing correctly with my kali install.


Some other forums discuss circumstances under which older or modified drivers for the alfa had to be used under kali 1.0, and I guess they were included in some later distros as fallback options. Have any of you had to use those under kali 2.0?


I installed/uninstalled a couple iterations of Backports. That didn't change anything. This inability to function in monitor mode on virtualized installs seems a fairly common hit-or-miss problem with AWUS036NEH adapters.


Wifi doesn't really do frequency hopping in the sense that as part of the protocol it predictably switches between channels (like, say, GSM does). I've also had a problem with monitoring once where the card wouldn't see anything specifically because it was monitoring the wrong channel.


I meant frequency scanning. Sorry frequency hopping is something military radios do as a countermeasure to barrage jamming and monitoring. There's an algorithm that controls the hoping. So you have two or more radios hoping in sync and any radio that doesn't have the algorithm can't really communicate or intercept communications. I think it would be pretty sick of wireless routers could be made to do this with clients. It would be an added measure of security because you would have to have the WPA key then you would have to know the frequency hopping algorithm.


This is confirmed as working 100% on my Macbook Pro (Mid 2014 model). The model you have of Macbook (or Mac Mini or macbook air etc) will determine exactly what broadcom chipset you have. You can find out what exact chipset you have by using the lspci command at the terminal window. You will get a list of all pci devices connected to your system. Look in the list to find your broadcom device. On my mid 2014 model Macbook Pro the device is BCM4360


The basic issue is that once the MAC address is changed from its permanent address to anything else Kali is no longer able to connect to the Internet via wi-if. Reconnecting to wi-fi can only be re-established via reverting back to the laptops permanent MAC address.


I get an error that no such file directory exists when I use the (echo 1 sudo tee /proc/brcm_monitor0) command. I have a 2015 Macbook pro with BCM43602 chipset. Wifi was already working, but I can not put my internal card into monitor mode. Please respond back as soon as you get a chance as I can not find a fix on Google.


This guide does not work. When running the commands those drivers and packages are not found. Using kali rolling 2016.2. Apparently you cannot get wifi working on one of the most common wifi chips out there, rendering kali linux virtually useless. Fail @kali_linux


i installed kali linux latest version today i downloaded ubuntu driver cause they are both debian based but when i extract the file and go to the directory there is an shell scrypt file name "amdgpu-install" i open the terminal in the folder and type this


i want to mine crypto and use blender but i need opnecl drivers please give me solution to fix my issue wish i bought nvidia so just install it with a few click also without driver everything feels glitchi in kali
