If you still have trouble try following John's install instructions in post #24.

no working terminal ??????
still

use a torrent client and dl the 3.1 gig torrent
that will AUTO check that all the little bits are THERE
i am using the
"kali-linux-2.0-amd64.iso"

log in as the only user "root"
no not make a NON default user

the install process DOSE NOT EVEN have you make a non root user ( like most distros)

in the gnome3 side bar on the left under iceweasel icon is the terminal
-- not all threads allow clickable thumbnails so
the boot screen under the A and kali is a gear icon click it and the options menu pops up ( the icon is at the upper left corner

log in AS ROOT!!! the user you set up during install
the terminal icon is under the mouse in the image

Hi

I got it working but with a weird solution.
I was always using the standard install and this time used the GUI install and terminal works. A big thanks to Randicus Draco Albus,@JohnVV,Yancek,ztzoracat.

Now I can continue my course and start to use kali

Kind Regards
ShenLun

Glad to hear that the graphic installation worked for you.
Congrads! ShenLun-

If you'd like to do some customization and check out the tools:

No disrespect intended to anyone here ....

.... but what sort of educational course would recommend that it's students INSTALL Kali ??

Why would ANYONE want to install it , as opposed to running it live off a USB or DVD ?

It boggles the mind !!!

The simple fact that this thread is in the " Linux-Newbie " forum should set alarm bells ringing.

For myself , I would only ever allow Kali to be used Live or in a VM , by students or novices .

It's no coincidence that one of their iso downloads is a complete package for VMWare

With the default user being "root" it is the smart and safe option IMO , but

.... " different strokes ..... " etc, etc.

Just my two cents worth
