Summary | 0007643: VirtualBox image should include the default user in the group vboxsf | ||||
Description | The default user "kali" in VirtualBox VM images appears to not be in the "vboxsf" group by default, preventing it to access VirtualBox's shared folders. Since VBox guest additions are installed by default, I think this setting should also be included. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | 1. set up a VM containing Kali VBox image (import OVA) 2. configure shared folders in the VM settings 3. run the VM and observe other guest functions work out-of-the-box while the shared folders' contents are inaccessible due to unsufficient permissions (4. to resolve, add the user (default "kali") to the "vboxsf" group and reboot) | ||||

Thanks for the feedback! We just changed our build scripts to automatically add the Kali user to the vboxsf group. It will be effective when you install Kali in a VirtualBox VM (via the Kali installer), and it's also effective in the Live image. The actual change is at https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/build-scripts/live-build-config/-/commit/a90925b4443e6220d801a6d9dc046f14efa91fd3 This change will be rolled out in the next weekly image, and in the next Kali release 2022.2. |
