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.

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?
