      Got a Blank Screen After Importing Kali in Virtual Box ? Here’s How To Fix It

      • Posted by Zaid Sabih
      • Date January 25, 2018

      One of the most common questions that I get in my courses if not the most common questions is “I imported virtual box image, started the machine and got a blank black screen”, this is basically just a black screen with a cursor on the top left (something similar to the screenshot below), if you’re getting this as well don’t worry, this post will help you fix it.

       

      There are a number of reasons that might cause this issue:

      First make sure you downloaded the right version for your computer, so when downloading Kali

      • Make sure you download it from here (https://zsecurity.org/download-custom-kali/),
      • Make sure you click on the virtual box tab to download the virtual box image.
      • Download the 32 bit version if your computer is 32 bits, otherwise use the 64 but version.
      • The downloaded file should have a .ova extension, if it doesn’t then you did NOT download the right file.

      If you’re already using the right version then make sure that hardware virtualisation or VT is enabled from your bios, this is different depending on your computer, the usual procedure is.

      1. reboot your computer.
      2. Look for instructions (on the bottom of the screen) on how to enter bios settings .
      3. In the settings look for VT or hardware virtualisation, enable it, save and quit.

      If you need more help then google How to enable virtualisation on <computer model>, replace <computer model> with your computer model.


      If  none of the above fixed the issue for you then right click the virtual machine name from virtual box, go to settings > General and make sure that the type is set to ​Linux ​and version is set to ​Debian 64 ​or ​Debian 32 depending on the Kali version you downloaded.


      If you tried everything above and Kali is still not starting, then try increasing the video memory, this is a solution suggested by a user here “Asadmammadov” , to do that right click the virtual machine name from virtual box, go to settings > System and try increasing the video memory at least over the minimum level.

        hi, first of all thanks for the great course. it is very interesting.
        and about black screen problem, in my case i got same error because of video memory dedicated for kali, i controlled it was less than 4 mb and vm had alredy messaged out that it is below the minimum level, so after increasing display memory from settings kali opened normally.

          You need to enable Virtualization for your laptop, only then you can use Virtual Machines.
          Steps are simple as below:
          1. Shutdown if laptop is on
          2. Start up the laptop and press F10 ( that is the time when laptop is booting ) @ windows 10 OS.
          3. You will be presented with BIOS settings screen
          4. Navigate to tab next to security
          5. Use arrow keys to come to Virtualization, and use enter key or keys showed at the bottom of the screen
          6. Change virtualization to enabled and exit with save option.

          Now start up the laptop again, it should work this time.

          Thank You,

        Hi, great work Zaid, thank you so much.
        I have a problem with my usb network adapter though.
        I have Khali installed as a virtual machine, i followed all the steps of adding the usb adapter to Khali, it is showing in devices but not on the terminal when i run ifconfig.
        My adapter is using the realtek 802.11ac chipset.

        Hi! When I go to run KALI, I don’t get a blank black screen. A error message pops up showing the GURU and that the virtual machine has stopped running. It tells me to go to my recent logs and use that to find a solution, but where do I put the logs to find my solution? Everything is fine in the boot up of KALI, but as soon as it says it’s loading the ram disk, it crashes and the error message shows up. Any ideas or solutions? Thank you.

        Hi! When I go to run KALI, I don’t get a blank black screen. A error message pops up showing that the virtual machine has stopped running. It tells me to go to my recent logs and use that to find a solution, but where do I find my solution? Everything is fine in the boot up of KALI, but as soon as it says it’s loading the ram disk, it crashes and the error message shows up. Any ideas or solutions? Thank you.

        Hi Zaid I’m new to downloading for virtual box so could you explain how to do it because when I click on the name it runs text (probably the code, having experience in that) but no download button appears where it usually would, then a message saying that the site stopped responding appears and I’m sent back to the download page, I also just bought one of your courses and it’s great thanks in advance.

        when i want to start i get this problem
        Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Kali Rolling (2019.4) x64.

        Implementation of the USB 2.0 controller not found!

        Because the USB 2.0 controller state is part of the saved VM state, the VM cannot be started. To fix this problem, either install the ‘Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack’ or disable USB 2.0 support in the VM settings.

        Note! This error could also mean that an incompatible version of the ‘Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack’ is installed (VERR_NOT_FOUND).

        I’m a course student on Udemy, I can’t seem to figure out how to get past the black screen? I’ve tried everything in the list with no progress. I have linux mint cinnamon as my main OS/distro. I have a version of my mint in virtualbox but can’t seem to get the kali linux to work? I’ve just about exhausted my options on getting the kali linux running. I’ve tried youtube also but nothing helped there either. Am I missing something? Thank you.

        I cant get past the black screen, even after trying all the above steps.
        Would appreciate if there are other things to follow, something I am missing?
        I am on Ubuntu 16.04, Virtual box 5(64 bit, 4 GB RAM)

        I have enabled virtualization, disabled the USB settings(somehow it goes back to enabled again), tried to provide more RAM and Storage, also changed GRUB_CMD-LINUX Default to noreplace-paravirt by pressing e, still no luck.

        Need a solution asap to complete course on Udemy

          Hi , so i had the exact same problem same specs only 8GB RAM, non of the above worked for me ,
          what worked for me was uninstalling virtualBox5 and reinstalling virtualBox6 or you could probably update it

        Hi Zain,
        I downloaded the virtual box and kali Linux. I have tried all of the above but am still stuck on the blank black screen.
        Please please help me.
        In my BIOS, I cannot see the option below. ”’In the settings look for VT or hardware virtualisation, enable it, save and quit.”’
        Is this because I have an Acer laptop? How do I enable VT if I cannot locate it in my BIOS ? I await a response from anyone.
        Thanks in advance. BTW – i am stuck on this Section 2/Number 5 and am really enjoying the course so far.

              My virtualization setting was under “svm”(Secure Virtual Machine), it may also be “vmx”(Virtual Machine Extensions) depending on your processor.

          If you are using older versions of kali the the id is root and password would be toor. But if you are using a newer version then id is kali and password is kali
          Try entering these problem might fix

Tried EVERYTHING you mentioned with no help, your 2019 version works fine in my virtual box, same settings. Seems from reading the comments you have stopped offering support for this issue?? Lots of 2020 comments on the black screen problem seemingly go unanswered. Please offer an updated solution! Thanks

        Hi,

        I signed up for Learn Python & Ethical Hacking From Scratch via stationX recently and over the weekend I attempted to download (and subsequently uninstalled) Virtual Box 6.1.4 aligned with the extension pack and Kali 2020. After several downloads and uninstalling scenarios I am struggling to get kali running.

        When I click on Kali to start the package opens and begins but then it does not proceed to the next stage of permitting me to enter user name and password. Instead, kali abruptly closes, an unexpectedly closed report for Apple appears and the message showing for Kali in virtual box displays kali as being ‘aborted’.

        Any suggestions on what I ought to do to get kali to run and not simply abort ?

        Many thanks

        If you are using Windows and have Hyper-V installed, you might get the blank screen after the splash screen for Kali appears. I had to disable Hyper-V to get it to work.

          Have you tried using VirtualBox 6.0? That worked for me after trying everything else found on here.

        I got a blank screen and have done what mentioned above. No luck.
        Googled and run this, “bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off” and reboot. Works.

          Go to CMD (Administrator Privileges), type:
          bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
          and then REBOOT

        **FIX FOR BLACK SCREEN AND WHITE BLINKING DASH AFTER BOOT**

        I use windows 10 Home and Virtual box, using the Kali download from Zsecurity, Kali would boot but then show nothing but a white dash blinking on a black screen.

        How I fixed this:
        – Windows search for “Turn Windows Features on or off”
        – Locate both “Virtual Machine Platform” & “Windows Hypervisor Platform” and make sure they are UNTICKED
        – This will prompt you for restart and uninstall these windows updates
        – Re log in and start the Kali VM again and you should be able to boot correctly

        Reason for this:
        – Virtual box will not work correctly if you have any Windows Hyper V features installed

        What I also did:
        – Loaded Services as admin and disabled any Hyper V services that where set to auto start or running, I did this before removing the features, so you probably won’t need to do this

        HI Zaid!
        This is Chirag Tiwari from India. In my case I got black screen after installing Windows server 2016 for lab and I resolved it by disabling 3D Acceleration from display setting of virtual box. I don’t know whether it will create any problem in future or not, but till now I didn’t faced any problem. what do you suggest about it ?
        THANKS
