Yet another (skill) issue with my VM

Running into an error every time I try opening my Kali VM specifically, Metasploitable seems to be working fine. Anyone know how I can fix this?

is that the desktop version of kali

Zagreus HadesOP•9/15/24, 5:17 PM

uh yeah

Collin B.•9/15/24, 5:17 PM

try 4gbs of ram

Zagreus HadesOP•9/15/24, 5:18 PM

What do I need to do to do that

Collin B.•9/15/24, 5:19 PM

Because, 2gb is not alot. Most tools are gonna not work or be extremely slow with only 2gb. for example burp suite

Collin B.•9/15/24, 5:19 PM

Just do it, if it doesn’t work it rules it out, its called troubleshooting.

Collin B.•9/15/24, 5:22 PM

Its not like the ram is gone forever if you assign another 2 gbs

CCollin B.Just do it, if it doesn’t work it rules it out, its called troubleshooting.

Zagreus HadesOP•9/15/24, 5:27 PM

No like, how do I do that. Like what do I click on to assign space to it

Zagreus HadesOP•9/15/24, 5:28 PM

idc about it's ram because I had nothing there which I needed, I was thinking of deleting the whole machine and reinstalling but that would take more time, given my slow mbps

Collin B.•9/15/24, 5:31 PM

increase the number from 2048 --> 4096

Zagreus HadesOP•9/15/24, 5:31 PM

Ohkay thanks, I'll do that.

Zagreus HadesOP•9/15/24, 5:31 PM

The options are greyed out

Collin B.•9/15/24, 5:32 PM

VM needs to be off

Zagreus HadesOP•9/15/24, 5:32 PM

It is

Zagreus HadesOP•9/15/24, 5:32 PM

The only thing that's open is the manager

Collin B.•9/15/24, 5:32 PM

Collin B.•9/15/24, 5:34 PM

And if you right click and go to settings its greyed out

Collin B.•9/15/24, 5:35 PM

oh, click discard saved state then try

CCollin B.oh, click discard saved state then try

Zagreus HadesOP•9/15/24, 5:39 PM

Omg thanks so much

it's working now

Zagreus HadesOP•9/15/24, 5:39 PM

Do you still recommend adding those gbs to it? It's a tiny bit slow but doesn't very significantly affect performance

Collin B.•9/15/24, 5:40 PM

I would. You will need even more if you plan to use BurpSuite

Zagreus HadesOP•9/15/24, 5:41 PM

I've used burpsuite on this before but haven't faced issues before

Zagreus HadesOP•9/15/24, 5:41 PM

Then again I didn't really 'use' it, just navigated around a bit. Never tried intercepting requests on it so far

Zagreus HadesOP•9/15/24, 5:41 PM

which might make it slower

Collin B.•9/15/24, 5:41 PM

Zagreus HadesOP•9/15/24, 5:42 PM

Well I guess it would still run. But there's no harm in increasing the space anyway (I hope)

Collin B.•9/15/24, 5:46 PM

not really, over allocating at worst means a crash in most cases. Now over allocating storage can be not so good but most operating systems wont let that happen

Collin B.•9/15/24, 5:46 PM

easily

Doulos•9/15/24, 8:03 PM

I give my VMs 8GB
