I've installed Kali 2018 in VirtualBox on a Windows 10 Host. Attempted to install guest additions, following instructions in Kali doc. https://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-virtual-box-guest
apt-get update
apt-get install -y virtualbox-guest-x11
reboot
copied to root directory and edited permissions as follows...
cp /media/cd-rom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run /root/
chmod 755 /root/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
executed file...
root@kali2018:~# ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Installing additional modules ...
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules. This may take a while.
This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules.
Please install the Linux kernel "header" files matching the current kernel
for adding new hardware support to the system.
The distribution packages containing the headers are probably:
linux-headers-amd64 linux-headers-4.17.0-kali1-amd64
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Running kernel modules will not be replaced until the system is restarted
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Starting.
VirtualBox Guest Additions: modprobe vboxsf failed
checked kernel and header cache

so the package i need doesn't appear to be available? I tried this as well...
root@kali2018:~# apt-get install linux-headers-4.17.0-kali1-amd64 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-4.17.0-kali1-amd64 E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-4.17.0-kali1-amd64' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-4.17.0-kali1-amd64'
How do I install the appropriate headers?
