I installed Whonix-XFCE 15.0.1.9.3 back in August and it’s been running great until a couple weeks ago.
Now both the Gateway and Workstation boot to black screen. They start to load, and after it gets to Loading Ramdisk it goes blank.
I’m running VirtualBox 6.1.32
The Workstation is set with 16GB of the 32GB total. 2 of the 8 Processors, and 128MB Video Memory.
I tried booting with different controllers, and then I removed the controller, booted, and added the controller back.
When it came back up I was able to see something.

When I let it run for a while I came and it had a screen full of errors saying something like:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 23s
I saw that before, but there really isn’t anything useful there to help resolve the issue.
It’s basically “Use the latest Kicksecure” and “Update the system”
I want to use Whonix as it’s more secure, and it has the gateway, and I can’t update anything if I can’t get into the system.
For shits and giggles I downloaded Kicksecure and tried it. It’s coming up to a black screen as well. So it’s going to be a setting, or something going on with my PC. I haven’t done anything in the past few weeks other than upgrade Windows 10…
