VBoxLinuxAdditions.run file does not exists

[ektasinha]

Hello All,

I am trying to install oracle 11g Database on my MAC OS Catalina 10.15.5 machine.
I have installed Virtual box, and linux 6.4 on the same.

While I run below command, I get error
sh: /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run: No such file or directory.

I checked /media/cdrom directory and could not find VBoxLinuxAdditions.run file. I did "Insert Guest Addition CD image" from Device option, and then /dev/cdrom into /media/cdrom.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance!!

Try mounting the disk image before running the command.

Code: Select all

mount /media/cdrom

Hi,

You mean below command right?

[root@Linux1 ~]# mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[root@Linux1 ~]# sh /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
sh: /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run: No such file or directory
[root@Linux1 ~]#

I tried this, But not working.

Also, mount /media/cdrom throws below error
[root@Linux1 ~]# mount /media/cdrom
mount: can't find /media/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

You may have the wrong image file loaded. Are you sure you have loaded the guest additions into the virtual drive from the Device menu? After mounting the Guest Additions I always do the following, just to check I have the right image.

Code: Select all

root@millie64:~# cd /media/cdrom
root@millie64:/media/cdrom# ls
