How to fix virtualbox on Kali Linux

If you like Kali you've probably installed it as your primary operating system. I like it. It's stable. It's fun. I wanted to set up some virtual machines for penetration testing. If you have problems running Virtualbox on Kali here's how to fix them.

Open a terminal window and issue the following command:

apt-get remove virtualbox

apt-get update

Now download the latest version of Virtualbox While you're there get the VM Virtualbox Extension Pack.

now cd to whatever your download directory is and issue the command to install with dpkg. Example syntax:

 dpkg -i virtualbox-4.3_4.3.12-93733~Debian~wheezy_amd64.deb

 
Then I downloaded the extension from the same page and installed it by double clicking.

One you have installed Virtualbox go ahead and install the extensions pack by double clicking it. And there you have it. Working virtualbox.
