You posted on the "OSX Guests" forum. Is OSX your host or your guest? Please post the versions, the complete versions of:
1) Host
2) Guest
3) VirtualBox
Not simply Linux, OSX, current. Complete details, builds, versions and revisions please...

Yes, I'm moving this to "Linux Guests" from "OSX Guests". But we still need that information I talked about. No info, no solution.

Did you install the guest additions? Does the guest have a GUI, or is it command line only?
