I've recently installed Ubuntu on Oracle's Virtualbox. Now I want to install the guest additions.
I started up my Ubuntu guest OS, clicked 'Devices' and chose 'Install Guest Additions'. Nothing happened, and I don't see the CD icon on my desktop. How can I make this work?

Since these two binaries for VirtualBox OSE do not include the VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO, I needed a way to download them independently. This is why I must thank Mr. Everyone, enjoy VirtualBox, whether it's PEUL or OSE. Architecture: any: Repository: Community: Description: The official VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO image: Upstream URL: License(s). 12 AnswersIf you have trouble installing Ubuntu in a VirtualBox VM, because the installer window does not fit the low resolution screen size, you can move the window with Alt+F7. VirtualBox Guest Additions is a set of drivers and software which comes with VirtualBox to make using VirtualBox in connection with the host computer a little easier. There are a few features that you’ll get by installing Guest Additions. A window will pop-up asking if you want to run the VirtualBox Guest Additions installer, click Run button. Some version of VirtualBox may prompt you to download the VirtualBox Guest additions ISO. In my case, my VirtualBox comes with an ISO file already. Then enter your password and the compilation and installation process will begin. Installing Guest additions from the repositoriesIn case we have installed the OSE edition of Virtual Box from the repositories we can add the guest additions from the repositories in the guest. This will install guest additions matching the Virtual Box version as obtained from the repositories. It is not recommended to install these in newer releases of Virtual Box as obtained from the Oracle repository (see below). Alternatively we can install the package virtualbox-guest-additions-iso in the host Ubuntu. The .iso file with an image of the OSE edition of the guest additions CD will install in the host directory Installing Guest Additions from Virtual Box ManagerIn case the Guest Additions fail to build we may have to install the Linux kernel headers (see How do I install kernel header files?) or build-essential tools in addition. It is also recommended to have dkms installed (see below - Note 4). You can run this command in a terminal to install both: Selecting Devices -> Install Guest Additions (or press Host+D from the Virtual Box Manager) the Guest Additions CD .iso will be loaded but not installed in your guest OS. To install we need to run the installer script GNOME ShellDownload Virtualbox Guest Additions Iso Centos 7To install the Guest Additions we will have a CD icon on our desktop as soon as the virtual drive is mounted: Next step is to run the autorun.sh script (as root) on this mounted CD by opening the drive and clicking on the 'Run Software' button. This will build and install the vbox kernel modules needed. UnityThe guest additions is mounted as a virtual CD visible on the launcher: In case the system is set up to autorun a CD it should just open the following autorun dialogue (if not select the CD symbol, choose open, then choose Open Autorun Prompt) After having entered your credentials for root access the guest additions will build as seen from the terminal output: Press Return to close the terminal. Note 1 Download Oracle Virtualbox Guest AdditionsNote 2 Note 3 Note 4 Installing Guest Additions from a TerminalIn case Guest Additions are not installed properly we may not be able to boot to the GUI. In this case we need to boot holding the Shift key to access the Grub menu where we access a root shell as depicted in the following question (we do need to mount the filesystem read/write to proceed): The Guest Additions .iso file needs to be installed on Remove Guest AdditionsIn case something went wrong with installing the guest additions, or the guest OS can not boot after installing we may have to remove the additions. This can also be done from a root shell by running an uninstallation script located in the guest Replace You could also try the following (this worked for me after I had to reinstall the Guest Addtitions after Update Manager killed them). Solution found here: In summary: This found and updated the correct version of the VirtualBox Guest Additions and my system seems to work properly again, and I'm assuming this will also work if Guest Additions are failing to install from the menu item. One other thing of note. I originally tried to run this under the fish shell - make sure you're using bash (i.e. type 'bash' into the terminal before you start). Note on more recent systems, the command has been changed to

The standard 'virtualbox-guest-additions' package on the .iso provided by Oracle, has general tools for different Guest Operating Systems.. However, Ubuntu has its own dedicated Ubuntu-specific Guest Addon package(s).. These 'virtualbox-ose-guest-*' packages are DKMS aware. Here is the link to a question I asked 5-6 months ago on this issue.. How can I get Compiz to work in a VirtualBox VM

Here are the steps I ran which finally worked, but as user named 'pcworld' stated above it may have been the case that only the last command was actually required. I'll never know, but I want to share in case this helps anyone else: And don't forget to set your VirtualBox instance to use like 128MB video ram and Enable 3D Acceleration under the 'Display' settings section for your instance, for good performance.

This worked for me for a Ubuntu Server 14.04 guest VM (no GUI): Edit: also works with Ubuntu Server 15.04 and 16.04 1) Install dkms. From the guest run: 2) From the VirtualBox VM window menu select: Devices --> Insert Guest Additions CD image.. 3) Use blkid to identify the CD-ROM device. From the guest run: One of the lines in the output should look like this: The first part ( 4) Mount the CD (replace 5) Run the Guest Additions installer: 6) Reboot the guest.

If you have the guest additions .iso, mount it in VirtualBox via the guest OS settings. Then start the guest OS and run the vboxwindowsadditions-x86 or amd64 exe.

Open Ubuntu in VirtualBox. Open FireFox and go here: Find your version of Virtualbox and click the link to open it. Download your version of VBoxGuestAdditions (iso): Open it in Archive manager and extract files. Run: Reboot. This works if you can't open the iso file in VirtualBox (ISO9660 error).
