OpenGL modules fail WITH "--nox11"

[karypid]

Hello!

I can't seem to be able to install guest additions. My situation is as follows:

- VirtualBox 4.1.8 on Windows 7 (64bit) host
- CentOS 6.2 (32bit) installed as guest OS
- Host machine is an HP laptop (Core i5)
- 2D and 3D acceleration DISABLED in guest Display/Video settings
- No X11 installed in guest OS (Default "Minimal server" install of CentOS)
- gcc, make and kernel-devel packages have been added (to compile guest additions)

Here are the steps taken:

1) Select "Devices --> Install guest additions..."
2) In guest OS command prompt (as root):

Code: Select all

# mount /mnt/cdrom /mnt
# cd /mnt
# ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run --nox11
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Yes, that is correct, I don't have X11 installed in my guest. Why is the script trying to compile these modules? If I understood correctly, "--nox11" is supposed to prevent it from trying?

Finally, /var/log/vboxadd-install.log ends with:

Thanks in advance for your help (and this wonderful VM software)!

No it just prevents it from failing the install.
You should have shared clipboard and folders. Have you tried to see if you did?
Nothing related to X will work of course, but that is by design since you don't have X

[karypid]

Indeed it did actually work! I just mounted a shared folder successfully.

Thanks!

Come to think of it though you will not get the clipboard either since the requires X. But the shared folders will work.
