To install Virtualbox guest additions in operating systems that are installed into a Virtualbox VM, use these commands. This will get you up and running in no time.
deep-thought ~ # apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso |
This will install the ISO image containing the guest additions. The file can be found in the /usr/share/virtualbox directory.
To just install the Virtualbox guest additions directly with Debian or Ubuntu/Mint, use this command.
jason@jason-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11 |
This will install the guest additions. This is a very easy way to get up and running with a native resolution and better performance with a Virtualbox virtual machine.

If you want to add the guest additions to a Windows Virtualbox session; just add the ISO as the CD drive and then install them within the guest operating system.

This works very well indeed.
