1 Installing the Linux Guest Additions The VirtualBox Guest Additions for Linux are provided on the same virtual CD-ROM file as the Guest Additions for Windows described above. They also come with an installation program guiding you through the setup process, although, due to the significant differences between Linux distributions, installation may be slightly more complex. Installation generally involves the following steps: 1. Before installing the Guest Additions, you will have to prepare your guest system for building external kernel modules. This works similarly as described in chapter 2.3.2, The VirtualBox kernel module, page 36, except that this step must now be performed in your Linux guest instead of on a Linux host system, as described there. Again, as with Linux hosts, we recommend using DKMS if it is available for the guest system. If it is not installed, use this command for Ubuntu/Debian systems: sudo apt-get install dkms Be sure to install DKMS before installing the Linux Guest Additions. If DKMS is not available or not installed, the guest kernel modules will need to be recreated manually whenever the guest kernel is updated using the command /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup as root. 2. Insert the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso CD file into your Linux guests virtual CD-ROM drive, exactly the same way as described for a Windows guest in chapter 4.2.1.1, Installation, page 60. 3. Change to the directory where your CD-ROM drive is mounted and execute as root: 62 4 Guest Additions sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run For your convenience, we provide the following step-by-step instructions for freshly installed copies of recent versions of the most popular Linux distributions. After these preparational steps, you can execute the VirtualBox Guest Additions installer as described above. Ubuntu 1. In order to fully update your guest system, open a terminal and run apt-get update as root followed by apt-get upgrade 2. Install DKMS using apt-get install dkms 3. Reboot your guest system in order to activate the updates and then proceed as described above. Fedora 1. In order to fully update your guest system, open a terminal and run yum update as root. 2. Install DKMS and the GNU C compiler using

yum install dkms followed by yum install gcc 3. Reboot your guest system in order to activate the updates and then proceed as described above. 4 Guest Additions Debian 1. In order to fully update your guest system, open a terminal and run apt-get update as root followed by apt-get upgrade 2. Install the make tool and the GNU C compiler using apt-get install make gcc 3. Reboot your guest system in order to activate the updates. 4. Determine the exact version of your kernel using uname -a and install the correct version of the linux-headers package, e.g. using apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.26-2-686
