Given that VirtualBox does not have any supported/provided Guest Additions for Windows 98 (or 95 for that matter), running under VirtualBox is incredibly slow and sluggish.

I have been struggling to install VirtualBox Guest Additions in a Debian Virtual Machine (Debian 7, Debian 8 and Debian 9).

The TL;DR version for Debian 9 is, as root:

That’s it, the VirtualBox Guest Additions are installed.

In more detail, here's the solution for Debian 7, 8, and 9, using Debian packages:

• for Debian 7 and 8, enable the contrib repositories; e.g. for Debian 8, make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list contains something like

• for Debian 9, enable backports with contrib; to do so, add a line like

  to /etc/apt/sources.list (or better yet, a stretch-backports.list file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d);

• install virtualbox-guest-dkms, kernel headers, and, optionally, virtualbox-guest-x11 (for the graphical guest utilities):

  (with -t stretch-backports after install in the second line if you’re using Debian 9).

That’s all that’s needed — you don’t need to mount the guest additions in your VM, or run the installer. You can add the three lines of shell invocations to your Vagrantfile (or whatever you use to provision your VMs) and forget about them.

Installing the virtualbox-guest-dkms package will ensure that the appropriate kernel modules are automatically built (and rebuilt when the kernel is upgraded), and install the guest additions.

(Note that this will install the version of the guest additions available in whichever version of Debian you're using in the VM, which may not match the version of Virtual Box running the VM — but the guest additions should still work fine.)

Install Virtualbox Guest Additions Kali

Follow these steps to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions on your Linux Debian virtual machine:

1. Open terminal and become root (su); if you have sudo enabled, you may also do for example sudo -i; see man sudo for all options):

enter root password and press enter

alternatively you can use sudo -s if you have it installed and the user where you are logged in has the necessary rights..

2. Update APT cache:

3. Install the latest security updates:

   This step will upgrade all your packages, so be wise about it. Try the following steps first and they might be enough to work if not, then perform upgrade and retry.

4. Install these required packages:

   Packages build-essential and module-assistant are both required to be able to compile the kernel modules and so when installing the VirtualBox Linux Guest Additions you must have them. So, this command will get the headers and packages (compilers and libraries) required to work. Notice, that after installing your VirtualBox Linux Guest Additions you will leave behind some packages as well as Linux headers, which you might delete afterwards or not. In my case they didn't hurt, but for the sake of system tidiness, you might want to pick up after playing.

5. Configure your system for building kernel modules:

6. Insert Guest Additions ISO:

   Expand menu Devices and click on Insert Guest Additions CD image..

7. It should mount automatically, but if for any reason it doesn't:

8. Run the following script:

9. Restart the system:

An alternative to installing VirtualBox guest addons from the Debian repository is to use sources from the vendor. The repository is expected to provide older and more stable code while sources from vendor are going to have the latest features and security updates.

I have successfully tried the ensuing instructions on Debian 9.4 guest running Linux kernel 4.9.0-4 using VirtualBox 5.0.30 and OS X 10.11.6. First, attach the guest addons ISO image to the virtual machine and then start it. After bootup, the contents of the image would be available in /media/cdrom0/. First, there are two packages and their dependencies that have to be installed:

Then, run the vendor provided script that builds and installs the necessary kernel modules:

Reboot the virtual machine and enjoy!

In Debian 9, the virtualbox-guest-dkms package is in the unstable (sid) repository.

• Add this to /etc/apt/sources.list:

• Update repositories and install package

• Optionally: disable the sid repository, because it has updates for packages that you might not want.
