Just the grub is not working properly i have installed linux three times but second and third time grub couldn't install so i had to install it without grub...while trying to install it with grub it gives error and does not continues...now i am stuck neither can i log in to window to find a way to solve nor i can log in to linux OS to find a solution

you still haven't answered my question, there are over 500 different distributions of linux..which one have you tried to install

I just know that i wanted to install a simple bare matel 64 bit linux OS which should've turned on as expected and with the gui as it is shown in the website. But it was not runnig along with the gui it was just a linux terminal then i deleted all of the OS files and reinstalled it now the OS perfectly installed then the grub is giving error

I have tried this method for the completion of this method the file '/root/normal.mod' should be found. But in my case it can't be found. That is why this is not beneficial.

I guess it is KALLI Linux

sorry I cant help you any further, I do not play with Kalli, you obviously are not an experience linux user, and Kalli is designed for those who are proficient at linux
I sugest you read the first post in this thread of the Kalli sub forum.. https://www.linux.org/threads/an-in...-to-set-up-and-why-wont-people-help-me.37509/

physically check to see if /boot/grub/i386-pc is actually present -
look inside /boot/grub
presence of i386-pc directory means this is a BIOS install
presence of x86_64-efi directory would indicate an EFI install

I agree with 'brickwizard" you should not learn Linux with Kali Linux that is for advanced users and penetration testers, Kali Linux is not designed for general everyday use - I would recommend Ubuntu, Linux Mint or one of the several different flavors of Ubuntu - like Xubuntu or Lubuntu to start out with

G'day and welcome to linux.org

I guess it is KALLI Linux

1. Why do you guess that? Did you go to install Kali, or did you see Kali mentioned in a video on youtube?

...which should've turned on as expected and with the gui as it is shown in the website.

2. Can you tell us the website?

3. Are you using Windows as well, and if so, which one?

If you downloaded a Linux .iso to your Windows, to install it, that file will have a name, for example

ubuntu-21.10-desktop-amd64.iso

If it was a Kali version, it will include kali in the name. The file downloaded is probably in your Downloads folder under Windows.

4. Can you tell us the exact name of that file?

Please answer all questions.

Thanks
