Install Virtual Box Guest Additions Debian 8 & 9

1. Insert Guest Additions CD image (Devices -> „Insert Guest Additions CD image …)
2. Open Terminal (at the guest) and get root (su root)
3. Update you Database and install the last updates

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

4.Install required packages and prepare the machine with

apt-get install build-essential module-assistant 
#then
m-a prepare

5. Find the device name of you CD Drive (in our Case sr0) using lsblk

root@debian:/# lsblk
NAME                      MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda                         8:0    0   500G  0 disk 
├─sda1                      8:1    0   243M  0 part /boot
├─sda2                      8:2    0     1K  0 part 
└─sda5                      8:5    0 499.8G  0 part 
  ├─ml--master--vg-root   254:0    0 491.8G  0 lvm  /
  └─ml--master--vg-swap_1 254:1    0     8G  0 lvm  [SWAP]
sr0                        11:0    1  56.6M  0 rom

6. Mount the Guest Additions CD

root@debian:/# mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom

mount: /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

 

7. Go to the folder where you have mounted the Guest Additions CD (/media/cdrom) and start the installation by typing this

cd /media/cdrom/
sh VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

After this you should see following screen:

Verifying archive integrity... All good.

vboxadd.sh: Building Guest Additions kernel modules.

You may need to restart the Window System (or just restart the guest system)
to enable the Guest Additions.

Reboot and you are done
