Hi All.
I'm having some crashing trouble with my latest 6.1.0-kali9-amd64 install. I installed Kali for the first time about seven days ago and on about the third day my screens started to go black. When this happens it seems like the laptop is still running but I am unable to get my monitors to display. This was not happening prior to the installation when I the time I was running Mint 21.1.
The reason I moved away from Mint was that I got stuck in a safe mode type of boot sequence and decided to "upgrade" to Kali. What was interesting is that after creating my partitions the installation would fail. After some research, the solution that worked suggested a bad efi partition and the solution would be to leave an unused 1GB of disc space before the efi partition. I doubt this has anything to do with it but I'm not knowledgeable enough to be certain.
[SOLUTION HERE]One additional thing to note, I have noticed even with Mint is the following notification on boot. My apologies for the photo but again it is on the boot screen so not sure if print screen is an option.
This actually has been a thing since I started using Linux in 2019.
So does anyone have suggestions for how to solve this?
Thanks!
