Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin/issues/7

Upon rebooting I notice that I'm having issues decrypting my drives, dropping to bash I notice that the shift key activation time once being released is a few seconds post causing for the mistypes. Upon booting I am given the error that the system is running in low-graphics mode, stating my screen graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. Upon trying to run system in low graphics mode it hangs after stating issues with ntop, OpenVas Manager, Apache2 not running with Xplico, and finally the last line at hang being from trying to initiate Squid3: "AH00558: apache2: could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the 'Servername' directive globally to suppress this message".

After this the system must is forced to hard reset.

I am unable to enable networking in all the attempts I've tried, and most logs I try to access from shell either cause a system hang.

Any ideas?

I haven't tried to use katoolin on any ubuntu less than 15.04, and I don't expect it to work well. Katoolin pulls directly from the Kali repos, and with the current Kali (2.0) being based on Debian Jessie has a modified kernel greater than 4 (currently I think it's still 4.0.0). As far as I know, Ubuntu 14.04 is still based on the 3 series kernels so you're bound to have all kinds of issues with that great of a mismatch.

Your best bet is to reinstall with ubuntu 15.10 and use katoolin to install only the tools you use/need, as you need them.

To avoid this collisions, i think that yo should pinning ( https://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences ) i do it in my debian and all works fine.

In my opinion, this tool is potentially harmful and should not be used. There are official metapackages to install all the tools (https://www.kali.org/news/kali-linux-metapackages/).
