I’m running Parrot KDE Security at least I try to run it
I tried the standard install and the GTK GUI install methods
I try to install ParrotSec on virtualbox but the install fails every time
It says “A step of the installation failed. You can try to execute again this step from the menu or skip it to choose another one. The step that failed is : System install”
I checked the hash of the iso and there are the right one so my file doesn’t appear to be corrupted.
Do you have any idea what this problem can be caused by ?
VBox.log (94.5 KB) VBoxHardening.log (522.6 KB)
When I check the virtual console, it says “base-installer : error : The tar process copying the live system failed (only 24099 out of 392900 files have bee copied, last file was )”
I finally installed it. I needed to make a manual partitioning because the guided one made my installation crashed. But now I have a black screen and a blinking cursor after it says “parrot login :”
when i use the --failed option I have “beef-xss.service”,“hostapd-wpe.service”,“lightdm.service”,“rngd.service” and “sslh.service” that have a failed state but are loaded. But both Active and Sub are failed for all of these services
if lightdm is loaded but getting failed means it’s something wrong with config file.
try sudo lightdm –-test-mode --debug
this will show errors about lightdm, most common problem is it’s config file searching for another greeter.
make sure you have lightdm-gtk-greeter package if not then install it using apt.
On /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf try editing the greeter by adding this line on the [Seat:*] section: greeter-session=lightdm-slick-greeter
when i make the journalctl command, it says that there is no entries in the logs
when i first try sudo lightdm --test-mode --debug, it says “Process 1427 exited with return value 1” and when i add the greeter-session=lightdm-slick-greeter, it says “Seat seat0 : Failed to find session configuration lightdm-slick-greeter”
I made a clean install. I have a GUI right now but when i start parrot it says that “kdeconnectd stopped unexpectedly” but then I cannot see the desktop anymore nor any other apps. Do you know how to patch it ?
i think you should download the ova file of parrot os which is officially available on parrotsec.org .then import it in your virtualbox.it is very easy.
