Issue with my VM
So what's happening is that whenever I leave my VM open for 10 minutes or so (Oracle VirtualBox, x64 Kali Linux), the display manager service just gets deleted somehow and the screen goes black. I save my VM screen and shut down the machine, but when I restart it, the GUI is completely gone and all I get is a command line. Light.dm is missing every time. So I update the system, install it and then reboot (all with sudo), and then the GUI loads. Any idea why the display manager deletes in the first place?

its a kali thing
my display configuration also got yeeted and now im having to deal with a login boot loop or use the cli
its annoying
idk why its so broken
everytime I update more shit breaks
You can get it back by running
sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install light.dm (or something, I forgot which display manager) and then sudo reboot. You can get your display then but idk why it stops working in the first placeHow are you updating it exactly?
apt update
apt upgrade
full send
That'd be why lol
You gotta do full-upgrade

ive ran all sorts of crap on it

Everything you need to know about Kali Linux and pentesting tools
fixed it
switched from liightdm to gdm3
kali how I have missed you
doesn't gdm3 kind of look like some apple ui
i installed it once and didn't like it, therefore switching back to the standard light.dm
