Kali-Linux headers updated to 3.18

[Perryg]

Ok so to cut to the chase.
uname -r shows the running kernel and it states 3.14. For that kernel you would need the headers for 3.14

If you boot to the 3.18 kernel you should be good to go *if* you have the proper headers for it.

Perry, my linux-fu is only so good, how would I boot that?

This would happen at the grub boot screen. Open the advanced or what ever they call it and select 3.18.

Hi everyone,

I ve got a similar problem...

Installed Kali 1.1.0 amd 64 on latest version of VirtualBox (4.3.24)

uname -r gives 3.18.0-kali1-amd64

I have installed first the Linux-headers with

Code: Select all

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

then did

Code: Select all

cp /media/cd-rom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run /tmp/
chmod 755 /root/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
cd /tmp
./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

And get the error:

Starting the VirtualBox Guest Additions ...fail!
(modeprobe vboxguest failed)

An idea anyone ?

Thanks in advance !
