I have installed Kali in VirtualBox and now trying to install Guest Additions to get full screen view.



I updated and installed my packages and installed dkms. When I try to install linux-headers I get the following:



# apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
linux-headers-4.14.0-kali1-amd64 is already the newest version (4.14.2-1kali1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 86 not upgraded.


The headers installed are as follows:



# dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-headers
linux-headers-4.14.0-kali1-amd64 install
linux-headers-4.14.0-kali1-common install
linux-headers-amd64 install


When I try to run the Guest Additions CD I get the following:



Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 5.0.40 Guest Additions for Linux............

Building the main Guest Additions module ...fail!
(Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong)
Doing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions ...done.
Press Return to close this window...


It appears to me that the correct linux headers for the kernal are installed. Why is VBox not able to find them?



Tried updating to VBox 5.2.2 but after removing existing version and installing 5.2.2 I was unable to launch Kali-Linux - screenshot attached .

You sould follow the tutorial to install VirtualBox Gest Additions on the Kali Linux Official Documentation.




The VirtualBox Guest Additions provide proper mouse and screen
integration, as well as folder sharing, with your host operating
system. To install them, proceed as follows.



Start up your Kali Linux virtual machine, open a terminal window and
issue the following commands.



apt-get update
apt-get install -y virtualbox-guest-x11
reboot
