    Virtualbox IN Kali

    I am trying to install virtualbox in kali so I can use the metasploitable VM to learn Matesploit, and am hitting a wall. I can't figure of how to get around the error. I am using apt-get for the install, but fails with the following errors:
    Setting up virtualbox (4.1.18-dfsg-2.1) ...
    insserv: script virtualbox: service vboxdrv already provided!
    insserv: exiting now!
    update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
    dpkg: error processing virtualbox (--configure):
    subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of virtualbox-dkms:
    virtualbox-dkms depends on virtualbox (>= 4.1.18-dfsg-2.1); however:
    Package virtualbox is not configured yet.

    dpkg: error processing virtualbox-dkms (--configure):
    dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of virtualbox-qt:
    virtualbox-qt depends on virtualbox (= 4.1.18-dfsg-2.1); however:
    Package virtualbox is not configured yet.

    dpkg: error processing virtualbox-qt (--configure):
    dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    virtualbox
    virtualbox-dkms
    virtualbox-qt
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
    I've tried to configure virtualbox-dkms, but get more errors. This is the root problem, so I need to work this out. I've even tried to download the dpkg package and configure it through dpkg -i. The install goes through, but I can't run anything in it. I removed the packages and then moved on to try apt-get and that is where I am at. Any ideas?

    Thanks

  2. Can I ask why you would like to use metasploit in virtualbox? It is already part of Kali natively. By the looks of the output you provided it may be missing a few dependencies. Can you elaborate on the process you are trying to take to install virtual box (what commands are you using?).

    I had kind of the same problem.

    Everything was installed and updated but Virtualbox wanted me to start its service in /etc/init.d/ - which did not work as I was not root and Virtualbox hinted me at the wrong name *lol*

    ls /etc/init.d/ showed the right name of the service.

    /etc/init.d/virtualbox wouldn't work and dkmesg gave me this:
    [36683.283643] warning: `VirtualBox' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)

    Then I tried with root and BAM! everything runs smooth now
