The VM session was aborted while powering on the VM

Post by unluckyvirtualbox »

I got a Ralink chipset USB wi-fi adapter and when i choose it from the usb devices(Settings->USB), my kali linux abort automatically without even seeing the login screen. I've tried so many ways but couldn't fix anything. I'm uploading the log files and hopefully someone can tell me a solution.

Memory is a hair tight on this host:
00:00:03.130554 Host RAM: 8025MB (7.8GB) total, 1797MB available
00:00:03.314101 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000080000000 (2 147 483 648, 2 048 MB)
00:00:03.314324 VRamSize <integer> = 0x0000000008000000 (134 217 728, 128 MB)
You might want to close off some host apps when running the VM. However, the memory tightness was not the cause of the USB abort.

The log did show what looks like a hard abort, but does not show any indication of the USB Wi-fi adapter being inserted.

Carefully go through USB basics and troubleshooting. If you finish all the steps 1-7 and cannot get your USB device into the guest OS, carefully post the outputs of the commands in step 8 as text, not screenshots. Zip and post the logs step 8 call for, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
