Cannot mount VBoxAdditions 4.2.10

I have just upgraded to version 4.2.10, add another strange error emerged, cannot mount the additions.iso?
Is it faulty?
Code: Select all
root@debian:~# mount /dev/sr0 /media/
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
Code: Select all
root@slackware:~# mount /dev/sr0 /media/
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sr0': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sr0' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
It is sad to see a great program, having bugs all the time

I guess you failed to see where to discuss issues with the new release.

I just tested this and it works for me.
Code: Select all
debian@debian:/media/cdrom$ sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
debian@debian:/media/cdrom$ ls
debian@debian:/media/cdrom$ cd ..
debian@debian:/media$ cd cdrom
debian@debian:/media/cdrom$ ls
32Bit AUTORUN.INF cert runasroot.sh VBoxSolarisAdditions.pkg VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe
64Bit autorun.sh OS2 VBoxLinuxAdditions.run VBoxWindowsAdditions-amd64.exe VBoxWindowsAdditions-x86.exe
debian@debian:/media/cdrom$

After a clean install of VBox my weird problem, wasn't solved, I solved it by downloading the .iso itself and coping it into the windows folder !!

Same error here. VB 4.2.10 running in Win7x64.
I couldn't get the mount to work in Ubuntu 12.10 guest.
Downloaded the .ISO manually and that finally worked.
