I am using Kali 2017.2. I tried install a modelling software (abaqus). As the part they instructed me to follow certain command. When I run this command, and after accepting with y, all my pentesting tools got removed and no GUI from then. Any idea what it did, and how to bring my system back.
Now I have access to tty only.
Any one help me bring my system up.
Welcome to LQ! LQ has recently posted the perfect answer, as a 'sticky', at the top of this Newbie Forum. (feel free to ask how to find it, if you need help finding it, and we will post the link)
It would be best to become experienced with Linux (which is the OS used in most of 'The Cloud')
before trying to be the 'expert' which the above sticky explains Kali is for.
p.s. Also, to demo this LQ skill, please 'Edit' #1, click the 'Go Advanced' button, then insert the word 'Kali' in this Thread Title, to help others find this info, and that free eBook!!! Thank you for your cooperation.
@ondoho, why are you encouraging the use of an UN-SUITABLE distro for??
so you think everyone who uses kali linux should be denied any help, because it would be "encouraging to use an unsuitable distro".
fine, make it your prerogative, but leave me out of it.
thank you.
