No Terminal in Kali
Hi
I have the same problem it works when I am running it on a live cd, but doesn't when i install it. I have reinstalled it 4 times (beginner so it choses the deciding for me; also wipe entire hard drive and start again has always been my method of installing this). Also calling your computer root is that a bad thing> or should I keep it as kali (default). Help please I jumped from cinnnamon to this to use the tools. I no longer have cinnamon installed (but i have it on a live usb). kind Regards' ShenLun |
Whoops, wrong solution...nevermind. ;)

Hi:
You could as an alternative install Terminator. It's a terminal that has multiple functions and can do a lot of things. http://techtootech.blogspot.com/2014...ali-linux.html There are several different terminal here- http://www.tecmint.com/linux-terminal-emulators/ Are you running the current version of Kali? (2.0)? |
Hi
Yes I am using Kali 2.0 I am attempting take 5 and will try and download said tools (terminator and the tilda). But I will install alongside cinnamon. So I need a 16gb swap file and the rest is a ext4 file? Kind Regards Scott |

You could also try looking in the Kali Linux Forum- https://forums.kali.org/ |
I have already got a thread on that forum as well. Thanks for your help

Let us know if installing a terminal is successful. |
Judging from you posts on the Kali forum, you are not ready to use Kali.

randicous,
Kali Linux is taught as a prerequisite for a ceh course of which I am currently in. Comments that aren't helpful don't help people learn, also this is in the newbie section so I believe its well suited to this thread. So why do I want the tools in kali working on mint because I can't access my terminal. I know what partitions are and how to enable then generally so my question was aimed at combining two is running within the same partition. I have the ability to learn and therefore can succeed in the industry. I am interested in this as I said switching from windows. My problem is no terminal in kali when I install it on the hard drive but it works when I use it in a live USB. In order to progress in my course I need to use these tools in terminal so I need it working. Once working I am confident that in time I will work out my broadcom wireless driver issue. As a senior moderator I would of hoped you would help, I have posted this original post on both the kali we site and my course website as well. So let's help each other rather then flaming newbies please. |

The remark regarding partitions was from the suggestion from another user, so my understanding was that a partition was for each is not combining two is in the same partition again a comment taken out of context. This forum is to help so please lead your expertise and help fix my initial issue of no working terminal on a kali 2.0 when it is installed solely on a laptop.
Being blunt is negative critism if you don't back it up with help. Or useful comments for example your comment telling someone they can use Linux should be followed by how to use Linux perhaps a website or the redhat Bible for reading etc. Which I have read 4 years ago. So please help rather then being blunt Linus built this for sharing and helping users not being blunt and potentially arrogant comments. |
Were you able to install Terminator or Tilda?
Have you set the goal of becoming a Certified Professional for Digital Forensics, Reverse Engineering or Penetration Testing? If so you could work for Red Hat and get additional Certification. |

There is a time for being blunt. Business is Business in the Enterprise.

I don't and haven't pretended to have a or want a magic solution. But banning or suggesting to ban a potentially relevant topic is ludicrous. Please also don't treat other users as complete idiots I might know solutions to your problems or other people to scared to post the same question may benefit from it. By learning kali I am part of the customer service in time. I am studying for me ceh and I know its a long road and I am not after a shortcut. |
