When I try to launch Kali Linux I get this error:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Kali-Linux-2018.4-vbox-amd64.
The virtual machine 'Kali-Linux-2018.4-vbox-amd64' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {5047460a-265d-4538-b23e-ddba5fb84976}
This is my first time trying to launch it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Failed to Start Kali Linux
We will need to see the VBox.log file from the guest in question. Boot the guest, make sure the problem occurs then shut the guest down (by force if necessary). zip the log file and post it.

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.

Re: Failed to Start Kali Linux
I tried to start it and looked at the log, but as far as I can tell it is blank. This screen also popped up though, sorry I didn't include this before:
RTR3InitEx failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)
The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing
'/sbin/vboxconfig'
may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the PUEL version of VirtualBox.
where: supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime what: 4 VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH (-1912) - The installed support driver doesn't match the version of the user.

Re: Failed to Start Kali Linux
I had same error. Used Apper (Software Management) to update packages and all is well.
