Summary0007958: Installation according to docs on UTM gets stuck
Description

Following the steps from the documentation ("From here we can proceed to install Kali as normal.") will get you stuck with a black screen and a blinking cursor and no way ahead.

Documentation: https://www.kali.org/docs/virtualization/install-utm-guest-vm/

Workaround:

1) After the basic configuration of the VM, you need to edit the VM, go to "Display" and select "Console only" for the installation. Hit "save" and boot the VM.
2) Select "Installation". Selecting "Graphical Install" will fail.
3) From here, proceed with the console installation as usual.
4) After the installation, edit the VM, go to "Display" and select "Full Graphics". Hit "save" and boot the VM.

Steps To Reproduce

1) Start UTM
2) Follow documentation https://www.kali.org/docs/virtualization/install-virtualbox-guest-vm/
3) Select Install or Graphical Install
4) Get you stuck with a black screen and a blinking cursor

Sorry, I just noticed that in "steps to reproduce" I added the wrong link. This is for M1 machines using UTM. So this documentation is relevant: https://www.kali.org/docs/virtualization/install-utm-guest-vm/
