Guest additions 5.8.* in kali

[the_ancient_one]

Hello,

Recently I have installed the Kali Linux in virtualbox. It does work perfect except for one thing. The guest additions (host+D)

If you do install Kali then it is not possible to install the guest additions. It simply says:

Code: Select all

"cannot find the autorun file"

But it is there.

How did I do it?

Well, I'm not really an expert on these things but by trying I got there...

First of all I checked my packages, did they exsist?

Code: Select all

apt-get install dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)

DKMS is not nor does the linux-headers, so install DKMS for virtualbox but it does also need the headers. By searching google you get the same thing, build the headers.

Like I said, I'm not an expert so I does it the easy way (check for 4.8 or similar):

Code: Select all

apt-get upgrade

reboot you computer and the guest additions should kick in...

Kind regards,
