http://www.backtrack-linux.org – I just installed Backtrack 5 R3 Gnome 32bit on my other computer but it only takes up approximately 1/4 of the screen(the rest is black). If I go to System->Preferences->Monitor it says "Monitor unknown". So what could this be? Is this a common issue? Could I just reconfigure X or do I need new drivers? http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ad.php?t=46887 http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...l=1#post206708 Unfortuneately the computer is not available now so I can't post specs.

Upgrading of Backtrack Failed 38 weeks 4 days ago

When I was using backtrack, a screen popped up saying that there is an upgrade to kubuntu (inside backtrack) 12.10. I accepted it.

Subsequently, the OS became Kubuntu 12.10 generic pae instead of Ubuntu 8. something as it originally was.

Now even ever I startup, it will lead me to a GUI screen and ask me to log in.

Alternate titles: Dual-boot BackTrack 5 R3 and Windows 7 on a single hard disk drive; dual-booting Windows 7 and BackTrack 5 R3. This is the just another tutorial on BackTrack 5 published on this website.

I am using BackTrack 5 R3 Virtual Machine in VirtualBox. Recently, when I was updating BackTrack (by using the command "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade"), I had to forcibly power off the VM. The updates were being installed at that time.

Hi,

I've recently upgraded from Backtrack 5R2 to 5R3. Ref: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/backt...acktrack-5-r3/

I'm user I done all updates from list & I've added additional tools too.

But while logging, the boot screen says, BackTrack 5R2 code name revolution tty1...

I've checked for update again. It shows me 0 to upgrade.

How to change that version info from login screen?
