    guest additions not working with kernel 3.18 installed

    Regrettably I can't seem to get some functionality working in my virtualbox.
    Apparently my vbox guest additions installation does work with scaling to full screen but other then that I can't get my clipboard to work or even shared folders including drag and drop.

    When running uname -r I see my latest kernel 3.18.0-kali3-amd64 being installed so this shouldn't be the issue.

    My /var/log/vboxadd-install.log is in the attachment.

    Does anyone have an idea on why this problem persists?

    Question

    I'm having a similar issue - when I run
    Code:
    apt-get update && apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)
    to install the kernel headers in order to install the VirtualBox Extensions, I get the following error: "E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.18.0-kali3-amd64"

    Any ideas?

    I am having exactly the same issue. I believe the root cause is that something has been overseen.

    I'm using 3.10.8 but uname -a also contains 3.18.6-1~kali2 (2015-03-02). Anyway, it's the latest version to this date.

    after running:
    apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)
    got:
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.18.0-kali3-amd64
    E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.18.0-kali3-amd64'
    any solution for this...
