没有安装Virtual Box增强功能Guest Additions的虚拟机操作很不方便，比如：

虚拟机的分辨率最大只有1024x768；
鼠标被虚拟机捕获后要按右Ctrl键才能释放，否则只能再虚拟机里移动；
剪贴板不能共享
安装Guest Additions可以解决上述所有问题。

以CentOS 7.3虚拟机为例，如果安装CentOS时没有选择Development Tools组，需要先安装kernel-devel和gcc

$ sudo yum install -y kernel-devel gcc

安装gcc编译环境
gcc与c++

yum -y install gcc 
yum -y install gcc-c++

通过VirtualBox的 设备 | 安装增强功能… 菜单可以加载VBoxGuestAdditions.iso，路径:C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso可以直接点击Run安装或者执行

$ cd /run/media/storm/VBOXADDITIONS_5.1.26_117224
$ sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

有时安装会出错

查询log发现是找不到和Linux内核匹配的源文件

$ cat /var/log/VBoxGuestAdditions.log


vboxadd.sh: failed: Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong.

查询kernel-devel版本是3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64，而Linux内核版本是3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64，确实不一致。如果安装CentOS时选择了Development Tools组，kernel-devel版本和Linux内核版本是匹配的，则不会出现这个问题。

$ rpm -qa | grep kernel-devel

kernel-devel-3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64

$ uname -r

3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64

可以使用下面两个命令中的一个安装和Linux内核版本匹配的kernel-devel

$ sudo yum install -y "kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)"
$ sudo yum install -y kernel-devel-3.10.0-514.el7

*如果Linux内核软件包未下载
正确的安装步骤*：

1、查看和下载kernel-devel版本

#uname -a

1查看内核的版本为：

Linux bogon 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 22 03:15:09 UTC 2013
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

下载内核开发环境rpm安装包，google一个可下载的rpm包：

安装包地址1：Linux内核rpm安装包各版本集合
安装包地址2：Linux内核rpm安装包各版本集合

#wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/x86_64/updates/security/kernel-devel-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64.rpm

1
2、查看是否已经安装了内核开发环境包：

#uname -a ; rpm -qa kernel\* | sort

1

kernel-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64
kernel-devel-2.6.32-745.el6.x86_64
kernel-firmware-2.6.32-745.el6.noarch

之前使用yum instaill直接安装的kernel-devel版本跟内核版本对不上，如果已经安装了执行：

卸载安装

#yum remove kernel-devel-2.6.32-745.18.2.el6.x86_64

3、安装下载好的内核版本对应的开发包：

#rpm -ivh kernel-devel-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64.rpm

然后再次安装Guest Additions成功

$ cd /run/media/centos/VBOXADDITIONS_5.1.22_115126
$ sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
