I saved Kali Linux after starting it. The screen resolution on the ready login appears out of range, and I can't do anything. Anyone can assist with fixing this?

If you're seeking guidance, it's best to confirm your requirements. Are you referring to the GUI appearing stretched or distorted? Or are you experiencing an issue with a terminal prompt?

Open the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and type this command: xrandr -s 1280x1024 After that, install a distro that requires installation and discontinue using unsupported OS's Edited April 18, 2021 by 10leej

I managed to access the terminal and enter a command, but it still says can't open display. I also tried using super user mode, and the issue remains the same. Please help!

It isn't starting the display since the command isn't executed from within an Xserver. Here are some solutions: 1. Determine which display is active (usually number 0) and use the display flag in xrandr, then return to tty1 via ctrl + alt + F1. 2. Attempt to log in to the desktop, open a terminal, and input the command (using shortcuts if possible). 3. The suggested fix is to modify your .xprofile file in your home directory and add the xrandr command, then restart. I advise against installing Kali Linux as it's intentionally insecure and not designed for installation (unless using a VM or USB).
