VirtualBox Debian - Install Guest Additions

Installing guest additions provides additional functionality with your virtual machines, such as shared clipboard and a dynamically resizeable window.

Run the script below to install the additions.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential dkms module-assistant -y
sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0
cd /media/cdrom0
sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Then just reboot.
