Vbox guest additions
Vbox guest additions
Hello,
Before everything, i thanks you by advance.
I try everything to install Vbox guest additions. I installed 5.2.2, not worked, after that installed 6.0 not worked too.
guest : Windows7 64bits
host: Debian stretch 9.5
No screen resize, no drag&drop, no clipboard.
I read probably every doc on the subject, & and i watched probably every yt videos.
If someone, by any chance, know where is my problem.
Thanks all,
best

Re: Vbox guest additions
You don't install random Guest Additions (GAs), you install the ones that come bundled with VirtualBox.mbpk wrote:I installed 5.2.2, not worked, after that installed 6.0 not worked too
With the VM window having the focus, go to the host's menu "Devices" » "Insert Guest Additions CD Image...". If not prompted by auto-run, run "VBoxLinuxAdditions.run" from the CD. Make sure there are no errors or suggestions during the install. You can safely ignore the "modprobe vboxsf" one.

> .run is not a linux file ? I cant launch this file in windows.
Basically, i try to install what i have in my D: (Autorun does not work), --> The installation pretends to be perfect and after my reboot, strictly nothing happens.
> I try safe mode & support Direct3D, nothing more
btw, the problem is exactly the same with windows10 guest and Debian 9 guest.
My host seems to be the root of my problems.
Is there any ' installation log' to check ?

I'm sorry, I mixed up the host and the guest.mbpk wrote:.run is not a linux file ? I cant launch this file in windows.
You need to run "VBoxWindowsGuestAdditions.exe".
What were you expecting to happen?mbpk wrote:The installation pretends to be perfect and after my reboot, strictly nothing happens.
We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:
- Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
- With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
- Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

Re: Vbox guest additions
I, too, am curious about this issue. im running a different setup but would like to know the outcome of this after the log files are uploaded.
macOS mojave 10.14.3
VirtualBox version 6.0.4 r128413 (Qt5.6.3)
I engage the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso via Devices -> Insert Guess Additions CD image...
It laches on, but the vm display does not change. The display does not adjust when the window is re-sized.
So I want to see what happens here to glean some good information to attempt to resolve my issue.
Im seeing the same issue on other machines FWIW. Dell and Macbook Pros.

Re: Vbox guest additions
You missed a crucial part there; you need to actually install the Guest Additions. Just adding a CD to your computer does nothing.univblue13 wrote:It laches on, but the vm display does not change.

Re: Vbox guest additions
No, because you never mentioned it before! It took you 4 (four) messages to state the problem!!!mbpk wrote:But you know why i can't resize more than 1585x890 in my guest display settings ?
How much would you like it to go? 5120x2880 sounds good?
Your host can only go up to:
So, why specifically 1585x890?00:00:01.324625 GUI: UIDesktopWidgetWatchdog::sltHandleHostScreenAvailableGeometryCalculated: Screen 0 work area is actually resized to: 1920x27 x 1920x1053 00:00:01.335725 GUI: UIDesktopWidgetWatchdog::sltHandleHostScreenAvailableGeometryCalculated: Screen 1 work area is actually resized to: 0x0 x 1920x1080
- That's not a standard resolution last time I checked, it's actually really odd.
- Can't you already do that?

Re: Vbox guest additions
Sounds pretty good yes lol but i tought the maximum resolution that can be set for any display is 2560 x 1600.
I increase my adapter graphic memory to 256 mb, and that can't resolve anything
I had specificaly 1585x890 because i wanna maximize my display (because of this current problem) so i did some weird settings mixture.
But currently, within the guest, i have 4 resolutions: 1152x864 1038x855, 1024x768 and 800x600.

Re: Vbox guest additions
Can you please tell me:
- How many monitors you have?
- What's the resolution on each monitor?
- Can you take the VM to FullScreen mode? Under the View menu...
Why? You can't go above what your host has unless you go into some serious weird side effects, which I won't analyze further for the moment.mbpk wrote:i tought the maximum resolution that can be set for any display is 2560 x 1600.
That's a weird one!mbpk wrote:..1038x855
