Kali Linux won't go full screen in Virtual Box....I think I've tried everything

[Matt854]

Hi,

I can't get Kali Linux to go full screen in Virtual Box.
I have looked for days for a solution and tried to follow solutions to this same problem on this forum and others but nothing has worked.

A quick bit of system info to start with:
I'm using Virtual Box 5.1.14
In Kali when I enter "uname -r", I get 4.6.0-kali1-amd64
My sources.list files are up to date from the kali website.
I have done apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to ensure my system is as up to date as possible

What I've tried so far is:

Method 1)
apt-get update
apt-get apt-get install -y virtualbox-guest-x11
reboot
I received no warning from the above in the terminal. During the reboot there are some errors which quickly flashed a few "Failed" messages about guest additions. This method was unsuccessful in getting Kali to go full size.

Method 2)
apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)
I get the following text:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-4.6.0-kali1-amd64
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-4.6.0-kali1-amd64'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-4.6.0-kali1-amd64'

At this point I don't know what to do.
I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer, and I will happily enter suggested commands and provide you with the full output for analysis.

Thanks very much,

Matt
