Black screen Kali

Post by blaise70 »

Hi
Installed VirtualBox Version 5.2.32_Ubuntu r132056. create virtual machine with Kali. Download the correct file Kali Linux VirtualBox 64-Bit OVA on offensive-security . com.

All seem to be correct. But still black screen. I'm ready to send you the log file.

Thanks for your help

You can always ZIP it. But do not bother, your VirtualBox version is not supported:

It looks like you're using the Ubuntu fork version of VirtualBox. You can either ask in their forums/channels for help, or completely remove/uninstall/delete/purge their version and install the official version from the Linux Downloads section of VirtualBox.

You can even add VirtualBox as a repository, so you could use your traditional install/upgrade/uninstall tools.
