El Capitan freezing on login screen after any input (click or keystroke).

Hi,

If it's a kernel panic then the following will provide useful information:

Boot into Safe Mode and look under the System Diagnostic Reports section of the Console utility app. It will contain the date and time of the panic in its title and ending with the suffix “.panic” in its name. Click on it and then copy the following into the search bar:

Kernel Extensions in backtrace

• Copy the next 5 lines after that into your reply to this post

Then search for:

last loaded kext

• Again, copy the next 5 lines after that into your reply to this post

Doesn't look like its a Kernel Panic. No ".panic" results in the console.

Here is the output to the other commands.

-bash: Is-1/Library/Extensions: No such file or directory

-bash: Is-1/Library/ApplicationSupport/VirtualBox/: No such file or directory

-bash: find/System/Library/Extensions-name*.kext-ctime+11w: No such file or directory

There don't seem to be any spaces in the commands you ran?

They weren't.... Sorry

Here is the output:

bdilcher-md:~ bdilcher$ ls -1 /Library/Extensions/

bdilcher-md:~ bdilcher$ find /System/Library/Extensions -name "*.kext" -ctime +11w

bdilcher-md:~ bdilcher$

Giving it a shot... About my last option before removing El Cap...

Well one of those two things didn't like El Cap... Restarted out of safe mode and it seems to be working fine now... Thanks so much for your help!

Glad it's sorted for you 🙂

I started experiencing this same issue. Went through all the troubles trying to find a fix, I Thought this was specific to hardware failure etc but theres very limited info about this in relation to El Capitan and eventually found this thread.

Im basically on the same boat and thanks to your terminal command, I found these:

Nick-Zipagans-iMac:~ nickzipagan$ ls -1 /Library/Application\ Support/VirtualBox/

Nick-Zipagans-iMac:~ nickzipagan$ find /System/Library/Extensions -name "*.kext" -ctime +11w

Nick-Zipagans-iMac:~ nickzipagan$

I dont know if thats any help but my imac is running fine on the external display, just its own actual display Blacked out.

Hi Nick,

I'm happy to try to help, but please could you post your own question as this thread is already quite long and squashed up to the right. It's been my experience that trying to diagnose similar issues for multiple people in one thread quickly gets confusing. Start your question from here: OS X 10.11 beta

Thanks,

Max.

Just copy-paste your post to the new question 🙂

Thanks Max!
