Kali Linux Freezes.

[KGeorge]

Hello Good Day ,
Please I have been experiencing issues with my Kali Linux.
While my laptop is turn ON, if I plug in my charger to charge my laptop my Kali OS freezes automatically, making me not been able to use neither the mouse nor keyboard. Hence I have to turn it off before using it.
I am hence forced to put it on charge before turning it on and always allowing it on charge which is not good for my battery.
Can you please help me find a solution.
I installed the Kali 2024.2 it did same. I went back to 2023.1 thinking it will change but nothing.
At some point I thought it was my laptop charger. But when tried a windows OS on it, it didn’t freeze

Hello and welcome to forums!

I installed the Kali 2024.2 it did same.

This version is out of date, so first things you can do is run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt dist-upgrade
systemctl reboot

This probably won't fix the issue but it's a minimum to do.

Questions, what OS's were running before Kali on that laptop?
Did you have this problem with those OS's as well?

Do you run dual boot on that laptop? what other OS's are installed on disk?
Do you run Kali from live USB? (ex. not installed to disk?)

Is fast boot disabled or enabled in BIOS?
Which Kali image exactly did you install and how? images are listed here: https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-platforms

Please answer ALL of these questions.

Is the battery icon enabled? if not enable it

you may need to add apci=force to your grub which is located here /etc/default/grub

that would be sudo texteditor /etc/default/grub should look something like this see below
NOTE: where it says texteditor that is your default text editor in Kali

go to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" change to read "quiet apci=force"

save the file then run
sudo update-grub

reboot see if it works - if not you can easily change it back
