Does it work after you reboot the guest?

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vboxadd.service → /lib/systemd/system/vboxadd.service.

Post the guests log file ( as an attachment ). Right click on the guest in the Main Manager then click show log. Save and post as an attachment. Compress if it is too large to post.

I'm afraid that this is not a "good" log. A log that starts half-way (02:55:52.137818) is not showing us the most basic information. You need to
delete this partial log and post a complete
ZIPPED log. Here's what you do:
- Follow a "start the VM from cold-boot" / "observe error" / "shutdown the VM" cycle.
- With the VM shut down completely (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
- Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form).

All indications are the guest additions are installed and should be working. Can you describe in detail why you think they are not? What do you expect to see that you are not seeing?

So what happens if you use the host+F key combination to go full screen?
Post the results of the following from the guests terminal:

The VirtualBox is going full screen while the guest is a 4:3 rectangle in the middle

Look at the top title bar and the view -> auto-resize. Is it enabled?

I tried enabling it.
problem is now that it's still 4:3 1024x768 and thus very blurry and stretched horizontally
EDIT: actually it is greyed out... i thought u meant the scaled mode
