When I told it to proceed anyway, it completed without errors (other than the lack of X.org, which was because I don't have a graphical environment installed on this VM). The only issue was that the installer said I appeared to have a version of the guest additions already installed-apparently that's done as part of the Debian net installation.

and because I was bored, I downloaded debian-7.8.0-amd64-netinst.iso, installed it on a new VM, did apt-get install build-essential (didn't need to install the kernel headers they were installed by default), and installed the guest additions (again, 4.3.12). I'm sure someone must have one of these very popular linux distributions running properly with Guest Additions? I would be so grateful if someone could help point me in the right direction towards getting either of these installs working correctly with Guest Essentials. The results are practically the same with Ubuntu and Debian. * No suitable module for running kernel found Sudo apt-get instal virtualbox-guest-addition-isoĮrror!

When installing using these online methods I either recieve complaints that the headers for the current kernel were not found or a bad return status for module build on the Kernel. I am aware of all the howto's online explaining the methods of installing the Guest Additions and I've tried all of these but non of them work with my system.

They install and update fine but Guest Additions is a definite no go. I have running both Ubuntu and Debian 64bit guest installs on my 64bit FreeNAS. I have been trying for weeks now to unlock the features offered by installing the Guest Additions addons within my running guest systems. I'm saying this beacuse no matter what I try I cannot get the VirtualBox Guest Additions to install and then function correctly. VirtualBox on FreeNAS is almost a brilliant feature but I'm assuming its not quite there yet. Platform: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU 3.40GHz
