linux install guest additions virtualbox

Still get the same problem of it not being found.Īny ideas? I've google searched and it seems like I'm the only person experiencing this problem. Thanks guys but WHERE is this 'installation directory of Oracle VM Virtualbox' ? Is it on the HOST machine or Guest? I've tried placing the file in my ~/VirtualBox VMS/ubuntuvm/ directory but. To install the Guest Additions for a particular VM, you mount this ISO file in your VM as a virtual CD-ROM and install from there. This image file is located in the installation directory of Oracle VM VirtualBox.

When the File manager opens the Guest Additions folder find the file named: n. A pop-up will appear on the Desktop of MX Linux, click on the File Manager option. Select Insert Guest Additions CD image option.

The 3rd time around after screwing with the thing for hours downloaded the VBoxGuestAdditions_6.0.14.iso to my host machine.īut Virtualbox docs are pretty unclear what to do from here: Once it gets started, click on the Device menu given in the top bar of VirtualBox. Do you wish to download? I say YES and then get an error: failed reason unknown. Like the Windows Guest Additions, the Oracle VM VirtualBox Guest Additions for Linux are a set of device drivers and system applications which may be installed. When I try to do that, I get an error: Could not find the virtualbox guest additions disk image file. So I google and everyone says to install the guest additions. Instead I get a ton of empty space around the vm even in full screen mode. My end goal is to get my VM to be full screen.
