System error after Kali Linux dist-upgrade

2

I was doing a distribution upgrade on Kali from 1. 1. 0 to 2. 0 using:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Upgrade was of 2 GB and after downloading 1 GB, and I wanted to download openssh-server so I did an apt-get install, but an upgrade message was shown (apt-get upgrade) instead.

Since it required only 74 MB/1 GB download, I preferred to do it first, and after installation, I rebooted my laptop and was welcomed with this message:

enter image description here

I can't login into GUI mode but CLI mode is available. I have no idea how to fix it.

P.S.: During installation I was asked for some greeting file, it said to choose between downloaded or system file along with a message that system file was modified, so I preferred to choose system file.

You could re-configure all the packages again.

sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a

May be it will work for you. If not then you will need to re-format your system with the latest version of Kali Linux.

hope it helps
