You deserve an award!!! Thank you so much, saved me A LOT of time!

[@JohnDoeSec]

[@aarono2301]

damn, i have been tinkering at this for 2 weeks trying everything, thank you!!

[@JohnDoeSec]

No problem! Took me 3 hours to fix it and thought it was a waste of time Thankfully not and I managed to help people

Hey mate, I followed your tutorial but I'm running into two issues with rcvboxadd quicksetup all: first, I can't find rcvboxadd in /sbin as expected-grep couldn't locate it there. Any idea why? Also, just so you know, I'm using VirtualBox 7.02 and installed the Pre-built Virtual Machines for Kali Linux.

[@JohnDoeSec]

Did you install the VM Guest Additions? (Insert Guest Additions Image) sorry for my late response, some of the comments don't pop up straight away :P

[@EugeneLight-nc5sh]

i follow through with the process and had same issue as he did despite installing the guest addition image @@JohnDoeSec

[@JohnDoeSec]

No problem!

Hi, when I follow the video and use downloaded vdi, my kali vm directly boot into the UEFI shell mode instead of GUI. Any idea? I am using macbook M1 chip

[@JohnDoeSec]

Try choosing the GUI Interface -> superuser.com/questions/1217182/kali-linux-wont-boot-to-gui

hi! I have a problem. "unable to locate package linux-headers-6.8.11-686-pae". It says me when I use the command "sudo apt install linux-headers ecc..". I controlled to VMBox settings and the VMBoxLinuxAdditions is checked..

[@JohnDoeSec]

Im not exactly sure what the problem could be... Try copying that result into google

[@doomed8573]

Omg bro thanks you just saved me on this one !

[@JohnDoeSec]

Np! Was to determined to find a way to fix it 💀

[@root-j3v]

to me when i execute the command sh ./Vbox... it does say the same things as you, but when i try to drag and drop from host to vm, or copy and paste from host to vm, or the other way it doesnt let me do it, it shows me an error " check guest additions " and i do have enabled the options: drag and drop, shared clipboard both bidirectional

[@JohnDoeSec]

Did you insert the VBox Guest Additions Image?

[@uche_david_ogbonna]

Thank you so much for this video. You saved me a lot of headache on this. I am really grateful. God bless you for me♥️🙏

[@JohnDoeSec]

Glad I helped!❤️

[@Javaman92]

OTHER than letting us know that we need to have 7Z Opener on our machine and that we need to extract the files you did okay....

[@JohnDoeSec]

Well I basically found a solution to fix the guest additions problem That works every time

[@Nathantime]

What a legend thank you much for the solution. You’re the best

[@JohnDoeSec]

No problem!❤️

[@vaclav9278]

thanks mate, the copying to local drive helped.. its quite stupid tho and doesnt really make sense to me, as what "how that helped"... but it did

[@JohnDoeSec]

No problem! Im glad that my time didn't go to waste

[@EugeneLight-nc5sh]

i downloaded the guest addition image but some of the commands are not displaying like yours

[@JohnDoeSec]

Did you follow the steps I took? Unless something changed Im 99% confident it still works

[@Faisalcy]

When I'm trying to put sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms It's giving me error: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[@Faisalcy]

Also ./rcvboxadd quicksetup all it's not working I don't know why

[@JohnDoeSec]

Im not exactly sure about the first problem, try running sudo dpkg -configure -a” And the second problem is most likely that you are not in the Guest Additions folder or you need to change permissions

[@MaplePie-g3f]

I'm getting the error: unable to locate package linux-headers-6.6.15-amd64

[@JohnDoeSec]

Did you insert the Guest Additions Image?

[@yusufmustari]

[@alexfernandez8097]

[@JohnDoeSec]

Im not exactly sure why, try to look it up on Google Just checking the error again, it's most likely that you're Guest Additions are not installed properly.
