A few things:
- if you have to use --force you're likely having something wrong with your system (wrong driver, too old hardware...)
- you need to read more about hashcat's usage
- you should read the output, it more than likely give you answers (hint: the part about stdin, the mention of 'Pipe')
So make sure to use the minimum options required for the attack you want to run.
Also is there a specific reason for running hashcat in a VM ? I would run it directly on the host system to avoid layers and potential issues.
