The video resolution in the guest will be automatically adjusted, as if you had manually entered an arbitrary resolution in the guest’s Display settings. It also allows you to resize the virtual machine’s window. Better video support: The custom video drivers that are installed with the Guest Additions provide you with extra high and non-standard video modes, as well as accelerated video performance. You can tell VirtualBox to treat a certain host directory as a shared folder, and the program will make it available to the guest operating system as a network share, irrespective of whether guest actually has a network. Shared folders: My favorite feature this feature allows you to exchange files between the host and the guest.Drag and drop: You can also drag and drop files between the host and the guest OS.Shared clipboard: With the Guest Additions installed, you can copy-paste between the guest and the host operating systems.Mouse pointer integration: You no longer need to press any key to “free” the cursor from the Guest OS.Rm Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.0.8.vbox-extpackĪfter this, everything is working and I can install additions correctly.

So I guess something remains broken for me. Presumably no matter the method of install. extension pack, it is natural to assume that "could not find" = "Missing" because that's basic English.īut it's helpful to have such an emphatic assurance from a moderator that GA is always bundled with VB. Given that elsewhere in this forum users advise that installs from repos do not include the same things as downloads, e.g. VB responds with "Could not find the Virtualbox Guest Additions disk image file". In a running guest, when choosing Devices / Insert Guest additions CD image. Guest OSs run OK, but additions is a problem. There's a slight mismatch of versions which is solved, except for GA. Previously I installed using dpkg after downloading, but this time VB installed from debian repos added to /etc/apt/sources.list as per: I've just rebuilt a host system and just getting the virtual machines running again.
