I cant dual boost kali linux - Lenovo Yoga 720


Hi.
I am running an "Lenovo Yoga 720" laptop.
And for over a week now i have been having an issue installing kali linux - dual boosting - Like installing it alongside windows 10.....

* So i have created an USB with kali linux
* I turned my laptop from RAID ---> AHCI
* I turned off "secure boot"
* I have UEFI activated and NOT: LEGACY

So when i start the usb from boot menu this happens:

There is just this black box and then everyting freeze and i have to hold down the power button to shut down the laptop...

* I am running an windows 10 machine
* The Kali Linux version i have is "kali 2018.3"
* My harddrive is an SSD that i am trying to install on

Did you read this ?

If you're having enough trouble just trying to install Kali, then I very much doubt you have the necessary skills to use it for it's intended purposes - which is hacking. ***Not*** as a general purpose desktop system. Kali also has it's own forums, that also includes installation problems.

Sorry, but this makes no sense. If you have been running Kali for 'many years', you would have:
  • Lots of Linux experience
  • Lots of systems experience
  • Lots of Kali experience
...and be EASILY able to install it a second time. You should also be able to know what the relevant details are to post. You did not..posting tiny pictures of your screen tells us absolutely nothing.

Actually he does. I was also thinking exactly the same thing myself when reading your reply.

If "errors canīt everybody fix" (whatever that actually means), then how can anyone here "fix it" for you, when you have "many years" of Kali experience? It seems VERY strange to me and doesn't make sense.

I think the laptop is just too new. If you were really a 'white hat' hacker, you would know to call yourself a white hat, not a 'white hacker'! You're not going to be better at hacking because you use Kali. In fact, you'll be worse at it, because Kali has "features" that make it difficult to use, like a firewall that blocks everything outbound, wireless disabled by default, limited package selection, command-line driven, online community which is impatient with newbies, hundreds of tools of little use to most users.

look at this one. little hacker, I too cannot even make out the images, LQ can upload images, and using a pen and paper to write it down so you can transcribe it in here too is helpful, because all one needs is to read what the error is saying, and not someone paraphrasing it. that is a big help.

and yes I just installed it along side four other OS'es. btw, and I do not conciser myself a hacker white or black or red hat, I'm actually in it right now.

This isn't the general forum, this is for technical conversation.

Everyone please keep on topic. If you have nothing to add or on-topic questions to ask, please refrain from snarky comments.

@StamflyTV, your pics are too small to be useful, if you were to take larger ones it would help. Also, understand that MANY of the users on these forums are hesitant to jump to help questions about installing Kali since the Kali devs themselves go out of their way to point out it's meant to be used as a live environment, even if they make installing it possible.

i cannot see the images.
others say they are too small, but i cannot see them at all.
if you are a white hacker (i suppose you mean "as opposed to a black hacker"), you should at least be able to provide a better problem description and/or better screenshots (pro tip: real hackers don't make screenshots, they post code).
