Kali Linux 1.1.0 VirtualBox Guest Additions

Edit, you may want to try this out, notably the "dist-upgrade" portion. http://www.blackmoreops.com/2014/06/10/correct-way-install-virtualbox-guest-additions-packages-kali-linux/ Old info: If you receive this message: > "Building the main Guest Additions Module ...fail! (Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong)" There seems to be a difference between the versioning of the Kernel Headers running in Kali Linux versus the Kernel Header sources available via apt-get. These commands will expose the kali3 kernel sources to the currently running kernel (i.e. kali1, etc) thus allowing the VirtualBox display adapter to work properly. sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo ln -s /lib/modules/3.1.8.0-kali3-amd64/source /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/source sudo ln -s /lib/modules/3.1.8.0-kali3-amd64/build /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build sudo bash '/media/cdrom0/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run' Test 3D  acceleration : glxg
