I followed the download instructions to install Oracle Virtual Box then import Whonix. When I try to start the Whonix VM, I get this error message. Any ideas on how I can resolve this problem?

Hi Patrick
I read the link. I am not sure what to do. I am using Fedora 41.
I tried the terminal installation from this page.
(https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Linux)
I am not sure if it did anything.
I still get the same error message.
Do I need to create a VM using a Kicksecure .iso image within Virtual Box, then install Whonix on top of the virtualized Kicksecure OS?

The terminal installation looks like it failed.

5. Issue resolved?
This issue is unspecific to Kicksecure. Any VM from any vendor and/or self-created VM will fail to start, not just Kicksecure VM. This is because it is a host operating system and VirtualBox issue. If the instructions above did not fix the issue, then try accessing further support resources including the Testing with a Debian VM chapter.
No.
