I do not have the 2018 image used in VBox, which is sad. That said, and while I understand virtualization is the way to go, you have two options I see here. This machine is already configured the way I want and wish to keep it. Kali can run on many mobile phones and Raspberry pi, so hardware is not a big deal for the basics. 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. This sends a signal to the operating system to spawn a virtual text. If you ever need to do this natively on Linux then it will be left CTRL, ALT and F2. Before logging in press your right CTRL key (VirtualBox host key) and your F2 key. 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. Start the Virtual Machine and wait for it to get to the login prompt. 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.

disable blank screen and automatic suspend. SECOND: Had a Kali 2018 running on virtualbox like a charm. Now, select Blank Screen option as Never and turn off Automatic Suspend as shown below. Hey guys, I'll try to be as fast and rich in detail as possibleįIRST: I'm a complete noob in UNIX systems whatsoever.
