This does not belong in "Linux Hosts".

Moved to "Linux Guests". Your host is Windows, your guest is Linux.

You can post images as direct attachments, it's only offsite URLs that are blocked. However an image of a black screen is usually not required - the description is enough.

Perhaps you could also ask about your installation problem on a Kali specialist site. I can't help you since I'm not a Linux user at all.

Looking at your log file it appears that the install is corrupt and may be beyond repair. I would install a new guest and see if it proceeds properly.

There is a lot. Have you read the log, especially the part toward the bottom where it repeatedly resets and can not find the boot medium? Then it says you are saving the state instead of shutting down.

Code: Select all

00:17:51.774113 SSM: Successfully saved the VM state to 'C:\Users\dell\VirtualBox VMs\kali-joe\Snapshots\2016-09-22T04-50-22-274887000Z.sav'
Sounds like a corrupt guest. Have you tried to discard the saved state and see if it can recover?

I told you what I would do. Install another and see if it works. Other than that I would need to have hands on to figure it out.
