| Summary | 0003123: uname, VirtualBox GuestAdditions | ||||
| Description | Installing virtualbox guestadditions fails with the error message that the kernel headers cannot be found. This has been reported in this bug already: https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=2044 I create a new issue because I'm not sure that 2044 corrects the origin of the problem. The VB installation script determines the header directory like this: Test: root@MEDUSA:/> uname -r Check the place used as base directory by the script: /lib/modulesroot@MEDUSA:/lib/modules> ls root@MEDUSA:/lib/modules/4.3.0-kali1-amd64> ls root@MEDUSA:/lib/modules/4.4.0-kali1-amd64> ls The build scripts are actually located in 4.4 whereas uname points to 4.3. This mismatch in uname/directory might indicate a packaging bug. Best regards. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Install the VB GuestAdditions using the classic procedure (having headers installed) | ||||
