VirtualBox Guest-additions Issue on Kali

[GP6s]

Hi Kali Community. I have reviewed just about all the posts i could find on this issue. Finally after days of frustration i am posting it here.
I am unable to get guest additions from virtual box to function on my Kali virtual box.
Naturally i am unable to drag, drop, copy, paste etc. From my host to guest

When i Run my virtual box i am greeted with the follow messages:







This is what i have tried:

apt-get purge virtualbox-guest-x11
apt-get autoremove --purge
reboot
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
reboot
apt-get install -y virtualbox-guest-x11
reboot

apt-get update && apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)


remounted the virtual box guest additions ISO
cp /media/cd-rom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run /root/
chmod 755 /root/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
cd /root
./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run


then i get the follow error message:

don't know if this helps but vbox and vbox extensions pack need to be same ver I think they are both up to 5.1.10 now
and hopefully your sources.list just has these two lines
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

if the above is correct did you do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
and don't do dist-upgrade lately that blows up the desktop but to get to 4.8 kernel this worked for me apt-get install -y 4.8.0-kali1-amd64
then restart kali ... uname -r should be at 4.8 now
then I installed the 4.8 Linux headers you can list them with apt-cache search headers | grep -I Linux
then I installed DKMS with apt-get install -y dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)
then inserted the guest additions cd copied the VBoxLinuxAdditions.run to my desktop then in terminal went to Desktop and did ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
guest additions worked for me then

I tried what you suggested warrend and I get stuck at the:

and don't do dist-upgrade lately that blows up the desktop but to get to 4.8 kernel this worked for me apt-get install -y 4.8.0-kali1-amd64

part. I did do a dist-upgrade, otherwise everything is set as you said, including the sources.list file.

The problem is 4.8.0-kali1-amd64 is not found as a package:
