You're just beginning with Kali and facing issues with Guest Additions. You've checked both methods on the provided documentation page, but you're still having trouble after updating from the console.

The specific issues aren't clear from your question. Could you provide more details about what you're trying to do? I need clarity on the error or behavior you're encountering.

I attempted the first approach without issues, but it didn’t function properly. I then tried the second method, which confirmed Guest Additions was already installed, yet it still didn’t work. I restarted the VBox and opened Kali, but I encountered warnings and errors that made the screen go black after a short time.

I haven't adjusted any settings myself. Please confirm if you made those changes in VirtualBox's VM configuration.

VirtualBox lacks a specific configuration option; I considered VMware as an alternative. Could you confirm the Kali version you used? Try removing the guest additions package and reinstalling it using a different approach.

Used your instructions and it didn't function. I'm running version 2017.1.

Ensure the linux-headers package is installed first, then reinstall the guest addons.

I’ll try that. To reinstall the guest addons, it’s similar to installing them for the first time—just like setting it up again. No special steps needed beforehand.

Removing virtualbox-guest-x11 frees the space so you can install it again from the beginning.
