I do not have the 2018 image used in VBox, which is sad. This machine is already configured the way I want and wish to keep it. This "working" user is not root nor does it have SUDO permission. WHERE I'M AT NOW: I have a Kali 2020.3, black screen after login, no cursor or anything showing up, I can access TTY and just now I found out I'm able to login using an userI created a couple of weeks ago. I googled back and forth, tinkered with commands a settings that I have no idea what they do or did and actually upgraded the OS to 2020 (biggest bummer so far) I managed to have the GUI show up a couple of times (and took a snapshot so I can manage by) but it just turns black when rebooted.

When I booted back up Kali turned all black after login, with only the cursor visible. Couple of days ago I kicked the power plug off and downed the whole system. That said, and while I understand virtualization is the way to go, you have two options I see here.

Either way, we need to get them installed to rule this out as a problem. SECOND: Had a Kali 2018 running on virtualbox like a charm. Kali can run on many mobile phones and Raspberry pi, so hardware is not a big deal for the basics. The Cause Of The Black Screen The likely cause of this problem is due to the VirtualBox Guest Additions either not being installed or not being the correct version.

Hey guys, I'll try to be as fast and rich in detail as possibleįIRST: I'm a complete noob in UNIX systems whatsoever.
