As I state on title.. I can't seem to fix the black borders or black terminals after installing all tools from katoolin. I did remove the repos before I updated Ubuntu. Any help would be great. Thanks in Advanced

Same here.
I was on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 (I reinstalled everything so I don't have it anymore).
It was a fresh install.

I had the same issue and rebooted in recovery mode(hit Shift after BIOS) then used the option for the Grub(tried the other options but I think it was the GRUB that fixed it) then rebooted and all was back to normal with all of the Kali tools available in my classicmenu. hope this helps

Can you confirm by going into recovery mode and then reboot after going to recovery, it works? I don't want to install the tools and then for it not to work again.. Lol Thanks. @batvanko66

It does not persist a reboot. I am still investigating on how to fix it permanently. I just installed the new kernel and will play with it later on. I am not sure which pkg from kali breaks Ubuntu desktop/graphics. Will post any new findings. Rebuilding GRUB fixes the issue while in recovery mode and this gives you the option to open a terminal and troubleshoot later on. If you or anyone else finds a permanent solution pls share. ;-)

I see, then did you try resetting grub once you do a successful boot? Maybe that will work. I was looking through the terminal when installing tools, and I think it overrides some fo ts on Ubuntu. It installs the ones from kali repo. Ill take a look into the grub settings. Thanks for the heads up @batvanko66

I did upgrade-grub but it didn't help. I updated the files /etc/lsb-release /etc/os-release and /etc/issue as well.

thank you very much, the problem has already been solved!!!
I am going to try and figure out which tool in kali has caused the problem in virtual machine.
Anyway, thanks for your help!

Update:
I have solved the problem by removing xserver-xorg-video-intel
using command:
sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel
However, I have no idea why removing of the intel graphics driver solved the problem, and is there any side-effect for removing such package?
Information:
the command "lspci | grep VGA" in my computer shows
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 5916 (rev 02)

I hope this will help others who also encountered this problem.

Thank you very much. I has solved my problem. I had the same problem in Ubuntu 16.04 after installing sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers. But after remove ppa repository nothing changed. My problem has solved with command sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel.
