Post by Strings »

I am running Fedora 25 and have VB installed.
I notice a space "VirtualBox VMs/" should there be a space there. There was no .vhd file in that directory when I looked.
Installed east but cant get past setup wizard
How do I get past this screen?

Could not create the medium storage unit '/home/randy/VirtualBox VMs/Kali2017/Kali2017.vhd'.

VHD: cannot set the file size for '/home/randy/VirtualBox VMs/Kali2017/Kali2017.vhd' (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER).

I'm sorry but you have to be a little bit more specific. You didn't mention how you got that error. What did you do? What were you trying to do?

And yes, there should be a space there.
