Good morning!

Kali versions offer several options:

you can virtualize it with virtual machine

you can install it with its .iso extension with an external drive

The solution would be:
Download the version of kali linux directly prepared for virtual machines

I leave the download information here: https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-virtual-machines

Step by step:
1- Download the file

2-Unzip it in a fixed internal folder that you use for your system files

3-In the virtual machine, instead of installing it, simply click on "search" and look for the file that you unzipped

4-Start the visual machine

5-Fun and entertainment!

Hi briansachetto,

Thank you for your answer, but in fact I want to have a Virtualbox in the Kali system and not emulate kali in another system

Then I would like to import Sumo in virtualBox

VirtualBox is installed on my Kali machine but I have small errors that I want to correct with the help of people who are knowledgeable on the subject.

When i start Virtualbox i have this in my bash:

Qt WARNING: QStandardPaths: runtime directory '/run/user/1000' is not owned by UID 0, but a directory permissions 0700 owned by UID 1000 GID 1000

You need to add the extension packs to virtual box;

https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox

[briansachetto]

hey!

The error may be related to write permissions, check this topic:

https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ox-4175707429/

[briansachetto]

and add the extensions to use

[Iammrgrim]

$groups
$ls -alR .config/VirtualBox

Check your permission settings.
If you set up parts of the Vbox with sudo then change it back to user.

Or it can be like three other problems that i ran into. What fixed it the easiest.

purged, remove, clean, autoclean, everything out of sudo apt-get VirtualBox

then update and upgrade

exit sudo
restart would not hurt as well

And do the VM set up as user.
not sudo

[Iammrgrim]

If you want a virtual box for linux. A live iso and a flash drive is the easiest. For windows wine64 works fine

Not sure why but wine proper set up is harder for me than making a RAT. Had to pull my battery out to reset my laptop. From here on out. Live boots

HI,

what is the output off : dpkg --configure -a ?
If there are errors, check the mentioned files.
VBox worked for me, but actually I can't because of VBox Version 7

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.0.0-kali6-amd64 (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-guest/6.1.22/build/make.log for more information.
