VBox 5.0.4 on MInt (cinnamon) as host running Kali linux 2.0
Hey guys, as you can see I’m just the newest member of the Forums at the time of this post, I am currently running Linux Mint (Cinnamon)
i have tried to obtain help on VirtualBox forums but in reality we realized its an issue with Kali itself or my particular configuration any ways please read on and any help would be appreciated:
this is my host machine:
""Linux mperor-Aspire-5251 3.13.0-37-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 22 21:28:38 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux""
I have VirtualBox 5.0.4 and i installed Kali Linux 2.0 see below:
""Linux kaliMperor 4.0.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.0.4-1+kali2 (2015-06-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux""
I installed the VB with no issues, now the problem started when i tried to install the "guest additions" since first off i am unable to install DKMS:
""root@kaliMperor:~# apt-get install dkms
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package dkms is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'dkms' has no installation candidate""
also trying to update my headers gives me the infamous :
""Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-4.0.0-kali1-amd64
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-4.0.0-kali1-amd64'"
Here is my sources.list and it is exactly as it comes, i am not sure if i am missing any link i have tried to add all kind of sources and it still doesn’t work:
#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 _Sana_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150811-08:02]/ sana contrib main non-free
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 _Sana_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150811-08:02]/ sana contrib main non-free
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana/updates main contrib non-free
At this point guys I dont know what to do i have tried everything and there is no way i can get the headers for my kernel (could it be that my host kenel being 3.13.0-37-generic differs from the VirtualBox kali linux machine 4.0.0-kali1-amd64)???
any help would be appreciated it...
