Well I hope this helps someone out in a jam. If you get errors in the installation you will need to work back through the errors ensuring the above steps have been executed and are successful. If successfully your output should be similar to this: Re-install VirtualBox Guest Additions directly from VirtualBox:.Update the Kernel headers: apt-get update & apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r).Update Kali apt-get update & apt-get upgrade -y.Then update VirtualBox Guest Additions to also the latest edition.Update VirtualBox to the latest version.The following is my usual check list and 99% of the time sorts out the issue for Kali 2: As such we have a multitude of updates happening constantly both to packages and underlying operating system. I also use Kali, where its also fair to say I have the most issues, now this might be because I probably use it the most in terms of a VirtualBox VM or that Kali 2.0 is rolling and thus based on Debian Testing. Once all the usual checks have been done to troubleshoot I normally move on to VirtualBox Guest Additions. It can be frustrating sometimes when Guest Additions breaks, either a mapped network drive disappears or your display has shrunk.
I also therefore use and rely on Guest Additions working correctly features such as, mapped drives back to the host, USB, display options are all useful to name a few. I think its safe to say I use VirtualBox a lot, I will be lucky if a day goes by where I’m not in VirtualBox using a VM. Troubleshooting problems/issues with VirtualBox Guest Additions.
This post serves more of a reminder to myself however this might also serve as help to others. Problems with VirtualBox Guest Additions in Kali.
