I am running the
of Kali Linux (4.6.4-1) and cannot get the Virtualbox guest additions to run with the latest version of Virtualbox (5.2.16r123759) on Windows 8.1. Everything seems to install correctly, but when I try to start the guest additions, journalctl tells me:
vboxadd-service.service: VirtualBox Additions module not loaded!
vboxadd-service.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1
vboxadd-service.service: Failed to start vboxadd-service.service.
I've tried a bunch of things including completely removing all guest additions, installing the old version in the package repositories, and reinstalling the version from the latest guest additions CD. I've also tried to get a more detailed failure reason, but the best I can do is that modprobe vboxguest (and the others) all give:
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxguest': Exec format error
In addition, the modinfo on vboxguest is:
filename: /lib/modules/4.6.0-kali1-amd64/misc/vboxguest.ko
