I get this error when running airmon-ng on my Oracle VM. Not really sure why it's happening I'm fully updated and upgraded. When I try to run the command airmon-ng eth0 start it just gives me that message. Does someone know how to fix this?

Well, you see, eth0 is an "cable" interface, generally speaking. You have to follow a procedure, which looks like that:

airmon-ng       ### Shows the available wireless interfaces.
 
airmon-ng start wlan0  ### Start a monitoring interface, usually named mon0     
 
airodump-ng mon0    ### Just observing the available wireless networks
