HOW TO Kali Linux Full Screen in VirtualBox

After switching to Kali 2.0 simply installing the guest additions image in VirtualBox no longer works. This guide is the easiest way I have found to make Kali go full screen after installation in VirtualBox.

Please NOTE: This document assumes that you already have Kali Linux installed and running in VirtualBox.

— Verify Kali official repos by searching web or linking below.

http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories

#- Open terminal window

#- edit repos list

root@kali:~# leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list

#- delete all lines in file and replace with updated repos lists. (At time of this guide current repos are below:)

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

#- save file and close

#- update repos

root@kali:~# apt-get update && apt -y dist-upgrade

root@kali:~# reboot

#- install virtualbox guest

root@kali:~# apt-get -y install  virtualbox-guest-x11

root@kali:~# reboot

#- Kali will now be Full screen once completely booted in VirtualBox
