IS there an exact tutorial somwhere explaining how to install Kali linux on Virtual box?

Post by IndusCivillian »

I have been trying to install Kali for days and I don't understand the reason it gets stuck at a black screen after I hit the option of Graphics Installation.

00:00:02.315912 Host RAM: 2046MB total, 719MB available
00:00:02.653023 RamSize <integer> = 0x000000003c000000 (1 006 632 960, 960 MB)
You're short on RAM, which will make your VM (and most likely the host also) crawl to a halt when overcomitting. Reduce the configure RAM for the VM (even 512 MB would be problematic), close other software to get back some free RAM or add RAM to your computer.

Thanks noteirak for the reply. I thought less RAM only slows down any process as I had read in a few tutorials. Thanks again.
