[Rajrockzs]

Hi this is Raj, from India. I have been trying to install Ubuntu and Kali Linux in Vbox & VMWare. I am getting same error in both the machines.

Issues
1. When I install ubuntu after the installation there is no main menu. I tried to install update did some more stuffs which was mentioned in some other sites none of them are worked both in Vbox as well VMWare
2. I installed Kali Linux tried all the method to install but after the installation either it get stuck with black screen nor gives me a message stating loading please wait...and there is no further action on the screen.

It will be great if you could try to resolve this issue.

My System Details

6GB RAM
Processor: Intel Pentium

Have you enabled 3D in Vbox, and installed the guest additions? Try installing Lubuntu first, see if it works.

I'm not very familiar with virtual machines, but a possible problem may be that you are trying to install 64-bit guests into your 32-bit Windows host. This can be done, but special steps need to be taken. Here's a link to the virtualbox site with more information (see section 3.1.2 on 64-bit guests): https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html

Or be sure to install 32-bit guests of Ubuntu and Kali... they both offer 32-bit editions.

Good luck!
