then

kill -SIGKILL `pidof process-name`

Install VirtualBox Guest Additions on Linux

After you have installed your Linux Guest system, there are a few additional packages needed for the Guest Additions. These packages enables you to create kernel modules. For Debian and Debian based distro's like Ubuntu, you need the following packages:

dkms

build-essential

linux-headers-generic (Ubuntu)

linux-headers-{amd64 OR 686-pae OR 486} (Debian)

apt-get install dkms build-essential linux-headers-generic

Check the version you need with uname -r.

Mandriva users run the following:

urpmi dkms gcc make libgomp1 glibc-devel kernel-devel kernel-headers

Fedora users need the following packages:

dkms

binutils

gcc

make

patch

libgomp

glibc-headers

glibc-devel

kernel-headers

kernel-devel OR kernel-pae-devel

yum install dkms binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-devel

Or alternatively:

yum install dkms binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-pae-devel

SuSE users need the kernel-source and kernel-syms.

You have to make sure that the kernel-headers and/or kernel-source are of the same version as your running kernel. It's best to do a full system update and reboot before trying to install the Guest Additions. Additionally, installing DKMS before the GA is also recommended so you don't need to manually install the GA again after a kernel update. Note: Not all distributions have DKMS in their repo. Either continue without, or install them manually from source.

Note: If you run a different kernel flavour, you need to install the packages corresponding to that flavour. You can always find out which kernel you are running by issuing uname -r.
