How to solve problems with the installation of Virtual-Box?

  • 772

I installed Virtual-Box in Ubuntu 18.04 from the "ubuntu software" store My laptop is an Asus, 8GB RAM and for now it works well. I am trying to install Kaly Linux in Virtual-Box with the following configuration: 4 GB RAM, 16 GB hard drive. And the partitions created a swap of 512 MG, and the rest I leave it for root.

When the installation starts, the laptop is completely blocked, it freezes and I need to turn off the button, to restart it again.

This has happened to me the 4 times I've tried this morning, in the afternoon I'm trying to find a question here like mine, without success.

Any idea why this happens?

Would it be better to install from the terminal to avoid errors? The image I downloaded from Kaly was the one I showed in the capture. Thank you

  1. Do you have enabled virtualization in your BIOS settings? If not try doing that.

    Some time ago I had similar issue and it solved it.
