Troubleshooting errors on launching Kali in VirtualBox
When I try to run Kali on VirtualBox I got this error:
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. Please try setting it up again by executing
/sbin/vboxconfigas root. If your system has EFI Secure Boot enabled you may also need to sign the kernel modules (vboxdrv, vobxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load them.
I checked BIOS, but Secure Boot was disabled already. (I did it a few months ago)
You can check it without launching BIOS settings.
mokutil --sb-state
After running sudo /sbin/vboxconfig and failed, Warp AI recommended install linux-headers-$(uname -r), gcc, make, perl. So I ran this:
sudo apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r) gcc make perl
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
Now I can launch it.
The error has been resolved by:
- Installing the necessary build tool
- Rebuilding the VirtualBox kernel modules using vboxconfig

Check proxychains4.conf file to see if proxy_dns is not commented in the file.
vim /etc/proxychains4.conf
