New here!Kali Linux VB not recognizing USB's

Post by arawson »

Hi all!
Hope I'm posting in the right place. Running VB with Kali on a Manjora system. I want to set up a wifi adapter but the USB area seems to be grayed out with no way to add anything. I have tried adding the extension pack thinking this would solve the problem and got the following error message:

sudo: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxExtPackHelperApp --stdout /tmp/VBoxExtPackHelper-wtsdme/stdout --stderr /tmp/VBoxExtPackHelper-wtsdme/stderr --elevated install --base-dir /usr/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks --cert-dir /usr/share/virtualbox/ExtPackCertificates --name 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack' --tarball /tmp/mozilla_andrewr0/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.20-1.vbox-extpack --sha-256 15bdee9c0385ddd4cdbbe0e446c0180ad4ae21554ddd52f8b44783aebd4aeef4: command not found.

I found an old article that suggested maybe doing this:
sudo VBoxManage extpack install --replace "<ExtPackPath>" --accept-license=56be48f923303c8cababb0bb4c478284b688ed23f16d775d7

But that didn't work either. Any ideas?
Thanks
Andy
