Kali Linux is a Debian-derived Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and penetration testing. The Virtual Machine replicate a real-life operating system and thus gives all the functionality of the real operating system and more. virtual computers within a computer.Īnything happening inside the Virtual Machine doesn't affect the hardware device, thus keeping it safe and secure.

Load the Guest Additions in the optical drive then run the following commands as root.ġ) Copy all the cd rom files to the home directory.A Virtual Machine is an emulator that can run multiple operating systems in a single hardware device i.e.

I assume, something is wrong with the Guest Addition 6.1.4 in my case.Ĭould anyone help?My solution was to revert back to VBox 6.0.18 r136238. I've tried fresh install of Kali Linux VirtualBox 64-bit 2020.1 - it worked with pre-installed Guest Additions, but after update stopped working either. Tried to remove and install Guest Additions many times in various ways - clipboard sharing does not work. The same issue Windows 10 / VBox 6.0.16 / Kali 2020.1 / Guest Additions 6.0.16 - clipboard sharing works fine.Īfter upgrade: Windows 10 / VBox 6.1.4 / Kali 2020.1 / Guest Additions 6.0.16 - clipboard sharing works fine either.Īfter upgrade (via both apt or VBoxAdditions.iso): Windows 10 / VBox 6.1.4 / Kali 2020.1 / Guest Additions 6.1.4 - clipboard sharing stops working, while the sharing folder is still available.
