This step WILL UPGRADE all your packages, so be wise about it, try the following steps first and they might be enough to work if not, then UPGRADE and Retry.Īpt-get install build-essential module-assistant Ģ packages (build-essential and module-assistant), both required for being able to recompile the kernel modules when installing the virtualbox linux additions package, so this command will get the headers and packages (compilers and libraries) required to work, notice that after installing your virtualbox linux additions package you will leave behind some packages as well as linux headers which you might or not delete afterwards, in my case they didn't hurt but for the sake of system tidyness you might want to pick up after playing ) (Note that this will install the version of the guest additions available in whichever version of Debian you're using in the VM, which may not match the version of Virtual Box running the VM - but the guest additions should still work fine.)įollow these steps to install the Guest Additions on your Debian virtual machine: Installing the virtualbox-guest-dkms package will ensure that the appropriate kernel modules are automatically built (and rebuilt when the kernel is upgraded), and install the guest additions. You can add the three lines of shell invocations to your Vagrantfile (or whatever you use to provision your VMs) and forget about them. That’s all that’s needed - you don’t need to mount the guest additions in your VM, or run the installer. (with -t stretch-backports after install in the second line if you’re using Debian 9). Sudo apt install virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-x11 linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Install virtualbox-guest-dkms, kernel headers, and, optionally, virtualbox-guest-x11 (for the graphical guest utilities): sudo apt update

To /etc/apt/sources.list (or better yet, a stretch-backports.list file in /etc/apt/)

for Debian 8, make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list contains something like deb jessie main contribįor Debian 9, enable backports with contrib to do so, add a line like deb stretch-backports main contrib In more detail, here's the solution for Debian 7, 8, and 9, using Debian packages:įor Debian 7 and 8, enable the contrib repositories e.g. For Debian 10, follow the instructions above, replacing bullseye with buster, and install the same packages as in Debian 9: apt install virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-x11 linux-headers-$(uname -r) The guest kernel modules are included in the Debian 11 kernel. Thus for Debian 11: echo deb bullseye-backports main contrib > /etc/apt//bullseye-backports.listĮcho deb bullseye-fasttrack main contrib > /etc/apt//bullseye-fasttrack.listĮcho deb bullseye-backports-staging main contrib > /etc/apt//bullseye-fasttrack.list That’s it, the VirtualBox Guest Additions are installed.įor Debian 10 and 11, the VirtualBox packages are being made available in the new Fast Track service (see also the VirtualBox page on the Debian wiki). The TL DR version for Debian 9 is, as root: echo deb stretch-backports main contrib > /etc/apt//stretch-backports.listĪpt install virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-x11 linux-headers-$(uname -r)
