I am using Kali linux .
My Computer machine has two graphics cards
Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5500
and
Radeon HD 8670A/ R5 M330.
Intel 5500 is acting as VGA compatible Controller and AMD Radeon R5 M330 is switched off. Problem is my Kali Linux hangs too much i think these problems is because of dual hybrid cards . And I think solution is to disable the VGA compatible Controller Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5500 from the Kali Linux . Please help me fixing the machine hang issue .
Did you read the sticky posts about Kali Linux, and the warnings/messages on Kali's own website? Kali Linux isn't for 'regular' desktop use...it's designed for experienced Linux users, and only then for security/pentesting. Their own website tells you this...so why are you using Kali, and are you an experienced Linux user? You can *TRY* putting:
Code:
"radeon.runpm=0"
...after "splash" in the GRUB boot line, but there's no guarantee it'll work. Did you do any research in the Kali forums on their website??

I would also be sharing /var/log/messages for showing you the errors to understand the situation .
to me the logs seems fine and my machine is doing fine from 2 hours now

anyway i am an ethical hacker i have little experience in linux but more in web application but that is not the point though i am using Kali Linux to increase my hacking skills i am currently working on a box on hackthebox it is the website where you can hack a server
i will surely try your radeon runpm solution thanks for your input sir and will let you know if that works
i did tried a similar solution to yours editing the grub file in which i had to add nauvau something in place of splash
that worked to some extent making my machine and kali linux smooth i did not found any solution on official kali linux documents or on their website so i raised this question on this helpful and extraordinary website
i am satisfied by your answer and i am thankful for you
to me the logs seems fine and my machine is doing fine from 2 hours now check the logs

...and that VERY small log file portion tells us absolutely NOTHING. You were asked what the EXACT OUTPUT of the "yum" command was.

...and you ignore the part where Kali is only for experienced Linux users why? Read their website; it's designed to be run from a USB stick, for pentesting purposes. Higher-end graphics and other such things aren't recommended. Further, there is *NOTHING* special about Kali...if you want to run Linux, load pretty much any distro (Mint is good for new users), and you'll be far better off. *ALL* the tools/settings/etc., you get with Kali can be done on any version of Linux.

i will try to give you output using yum
u saying there is nothing special about kali bro there is whole lot of functionalities already present in kali linux already installed that is the reason also i am using kali for example metasploit framework and many other tools
already installed
though i downloaded the one which had no tools i had to install one by one according to my need
no i have to use kali linux it is my goal to practice on hackthebox and earn rank
actually i am a experienced user but never had this issue i recently bought this laptop and it has now two graphic cards
Sorry, you just said "i have little experience in linux" in your last post, and now you're saying you're an experienced user??? Both can't be true, and if you were an experienced user you'd know how to resolve the problem.

Yet you're STILL not doing it.

I am not your "bro", and you need to read the LQ Rules about text-speak and not using it; it's "you", not "u". And again, if you were an experienced user, you'd know that every single thing on Kali can be installed/configured on any version of Linux. As said, again, you can load Mint, have better graphics/hardware support out of the box, and configure it to do EXACTLY what's getting done on Kali.

yes you are right i am not a experienced user i have only used ubuntu before on my pc which is now broke
but just used ubuntu for development purpose and small debugging things
sorry sir for wasting your time
i tried runpm solution
i just said to you my motivation behind using kali linux you asked me why i am even using kali linux
also i am using kali linux because it was the first thought came into my mind to download kali sir
yes you are right i am not a experienced user i have only used ubuntu before on my pc which is now broke but just used ubuntu for development purpose and small debugging things
So we're back to you're NOT an experienced user?

And back to "why"??? Why was your first thought Kali??? And did you read what Kali was/does/is for, before loading it??
Again, if you had Ubuntu running, that's all you needed. If you have Windows running, there's ZERO need to load Kali, since you can very easily use VirtualBox and install Kali in it, for your purposes. No need to do anything with the graphics at all.

i will get back to you soon with the errors
And yet you still don't. Not much point in posting back with no new information at all.
Quote:
i tried runpm solution it also working fine but i am not sure what this runpm actually did can you please tell me what happens with this command
If you just want to 'beat your friend', there isn't much point. If you actually want to learn for a REASON, then the Kali documentation/wiki will explain this.
wait a minute do not worry i am getting ready your /var/log/message file and this might be a career this is might be the game because of which i get a job yes
