Hi All,
I am trying to setup my virtual box lab environment, but I am unable to install VirtualBox Guest Additions. Host (PC) is Windows and Guest is Ubuntu.
I already went through these steps.
1. Update Ubuntu
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install build-essential dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)
2. On the virtual machine window, click on Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD Image.
3. On the command line type the command:
$ sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Error Message: sudo: /.VBoxLinuxAdditions.run: command not found
Alternatively, I used sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Error Message: sh: 0: cannot open ./VBoxLinuxtAdditions.run: No such file
From the disk image from the desktop, I click VBoxLinuxAdditions.run to no avail. What do I do now?

Navigate to the 'CD' drive first using your linux file manager so that you can actually see the installation files, then launch the Terminal app from that location and try:
Code: Select all
sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Hi MutiOS,
It worked, thanks for your help. A new bee is getting the lab closer to learning time.
Thanks once more,
