During grub boot, I have to add nomodeset parameter, else Kali Linux 2020.2 won't be able to boot inside VirtualBox. Then, I was trying to install nvidia drivers on VM when found this article. > Do not attempt this in a VM. It is possible in theory, however this > likely will not work and we do not recommend that users attempt this. https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/install-nvidia-drivers-on-kali-linux/ I notice that vga detected in guest OS (Kali) is VMware SVGA II Adapter while the host OS is using NVIDIA Guest OS kali@kali:~$ lspci | grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware SVGA II Adapter kali@kali:~$ Host OS wolf@linux:~$ lspci | grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 3e9b 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile] (rev a1) wolf@linux:~$ If the driver not installed, I have to add nomodeset parameter every time during boot process. How do I fix this problem permanently?
