Re: Unable to mount Shared Folders in Debian 6 guest on Ubun

Guest Additions are properly installed and working? The error sounds like it isn't. Yes, Guest Additions installed only to the extent that X11 Display works properly. I can not install Linux kernel headers: dokondr@debian:~$ uname -r 2.6.32-5-amd64 dokondr@debian:~$ su Password: root@debian:/home/d...

Re: "Install Guest Additions" fail in Debian guest on Mac Os

If amd64 doesn't work, then it means you're not running the 64 bit edition. You never specified which you ran, 64 bit or 32 bit. For 32 bit, it's either linux-headers-686-pae or linux-headers-486. You can see with the command 'uname -r'. Still no luck: dokondr@debian:~$ uname -r 2.6.32-5-amd64 doko...

Re: Unable to mount Shared Folders in Debian 6 guest on Ubun

Re: "Install Guest Additions" fail in Debian guest on Mac Os

My guide states to change the kernel name to whatever flavour you have. Debian doesn't use -generic, -server, etc. The kernel on Debian is linux-headers-amd64 or linux-headers-i386, depending on your architecture. Alas linux-headers-amd64 or linux-headers-i386 do not work also: root@debian:/home/do...

Re: "Install Guest Additions" fail in Debian guest on Mac Os

If the video module installed correctly, then shared folders should work as well. Check out my two tutorial about installing the GA and using Shared Folders. In my case: 1) GA image was mounted "noexec" from "Devices / install GA" 2) After coping to normal folder GA volume, and ...
