VBox Guest Additons iso is not running
VBox Guest Additons iso is not running
On my Windows 10 (64 bit) Version 22H2 I've installed VBox 7.04 and set up a VM with Ubuntu 22.04. I tried to install the respective GuestAdditions according to section 4 of the manual, however installation of the Guest Addition will not start, when I click the "Anwendung starten" button (german for "run application") I've uploaded a screenshot of the GuestAdditons-iso. Perhaps somebody can help me to get the GuestAdditons installed.

Re: VBox Guest Additons iso is not running
Try opening a Terminal Window from the screen shown and issue the command:
Ubuntu, like most Operation Systems, does not automatically run installations from CDs/DVDs for security reasons.
Code: Select all
sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Re: VBox Guest Additons iso is not running
I've uploaded a screenshot of the terminal. I would have liked to send the terminal response as a code block, however in my new Ubuntu machine, which I try to fix with your assistance, the internet browser is not yet synchronized. So I have to switch manually between PC and Laptop.

Re: VBox Guest Additons iso is not running
Well, you can see from your earlier screenshot that the file does exist in the Virtual CD folder. From the Terminal screenshot you didn't open the Terminal application after navigating back to that folder. If you don't do that the command would need to include the full path to the file.

done. Guest Additons installed. Ubuntu screen full, like the smile on my face. Thanks for your help.
