I installed a virtual machine on my Windows 10 laptop and then imported Kali Linux on it, but when the import was done I received an error message saying that the import failed, I tried again a few times, but it always came the same error message.
Can someone help me?
Did you use the right version for your virtual machine. There are different, for different virtual machines.
What version did you import? And what kind of VM tool do you use?
Um, you can find Kali-Linux by entering Kali-Linux into a shoe machine.
But why you absolutely want to have kali Linux has no idea. I haven't heard of the distribution before.
Like never heard before D
I haven't heard of the distribution before.
yes, there are already. It is made for specialists, but is then used by children because the name sounds so beautiful.
It was clear to me after 2 seconds of googling. But I really hadn't heard of it.
Thanks for the info, I now know why I never heard of it because I was always looking for Linux for normal users. So e.g. After Linux that's the most intuitive or something.
You could first download an .iso file from Kali Linux.
Then you open VirtualBox (or if you have something else, you have to see how it works, probably similar)
There you press "New" and choose what you need (Name: you can choose, Type: Linux, Version: Debian, the rest you can either leave it as is or choose yourself)
Then your virtual machine should be listed on the left. You then press Settings> Storage and click on the empty drive. There you then select the iso file and save it (previously you can increase the number of CPU cores used, for example, under System> Processor, but you don't have to, but it's more practical.)
Then you click on "Start" and install the system.
I have 6.1 version
Oracle VM Virtual Box
Kali-linux-2020.2a-vbox-amd64.ova
Of course you can also set up Kali Linux to a full desktop system (i.e. For normal users).
I would recommend a beginner to a different distribution, even if he is through with his classmates and buddies below.
Yes, but the whole procedure doesn't make so much sense either. If he wants to use Linux he can simply start it by stick (even if it is extremely slow) or create Linux directly on his own partition, which you can also create later by reducing the size.
Running Linux as a virtual machine is simply a waste of computing resources or an unnecessary source of errors. Or am I wrong?
This has less to do with resources. Potash is among others Suitable for network test.
In a virtual machine, however, all connections to the local network, as well as to the Internet, are processed via the host computer (in this case Windows).
I think that installing directly is always better.
There's only the big "danger" that he will recognize the benefits of Linux and stop using Windows at all.
Better take the normal .iso and install it in the VM itself.
