Unable to insert VBoxGuestAdditions for Archbang vb on Mac

Post by xinelo »

Hi there,

I have installed Archbang linux in a virtual machine in a macOS host (running High Sierra). The installation went fine but when I try to insert the VBoxGuestAdditions (which I guess I need to get full screen), I get the following error:
Unable to insert the virtual optical disk /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso into the machine archbang.

Could not mount the media/drive '/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' (VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}
Callee: IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df}
I'll be grateful for any tips.
Cheers, Manuel

Can you send the VBox.log? Also, make sure your question was not already asked. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=94291 Does this help?
