Installing Kali VM

[fwr]

Hi. I'm new to Proxmox and after installing Kali I received this error when I start the machine. I would appreciate some input so I can troubleshoot this problem. Also, Can I find these kind of information on Proxmox documentation? Thanks

Hello the attachment is empty (at least on my side). Please post the error and the config of the vm with qm config VMID

Hi, I apologies for the mistake.




I also just noticed this, could be possibly a problem or the problem.

Hi,
does Kali Linux come with a signed kernel? Otherwise, you can't use the pre-enrolled-keys setting for the EFI disk.

Kali does not come with signed kernel. But I found this issue while troubleshooting and so far I have not found a fix for it.



I reinstalled and tried to start again and receive this error:

Is this inside the VM? Did you enable the guest agent in the VM configuration and apply the change (shutdown+start the VM or use the Reboot button in the UI, reboot from inside the guest is not enough)? If that doesn't help, please share the full journal for that boot.

Hi Fiona,
I only now was able to troubleshoot this problem. I went through some of your post related to qemu but nothing worked. Here is the logs from my proxmox:

You need to install the QEMU guest agent inside the guest, not on the host. If the host is not virtualized itself, you should uninstall the guest agent from the host too.

I found out what I was doing wrong. I was using a qcow2 file and I was trying create a VM the same way I created Linux Debian and it does not work the same way. I really appreciate your input. Thank you!
