Ubuntu 17.10 - Guest Additions Installation Error
Posted: 26. Oct 2017, 13:33
Hi, thanks for reading.
I've been having trouble installing Guest Additions on Ubuntu.
I am using the latest VirtualBox on a freshly-reformatted ThinkPad P50 running fully-updated Windows 10 installed from the factory image USB drive.
(As a side note I reformatted after [presumably] infecting my machine with some kind of malware (whoops). I created the recovery drive using Lenovo Companion on the infected OS.)
All virtualization options are enabled in the BIOS (latest). Hyper-V is disabled in Windows Features.
I created a machine using the latest Ubuntu Image, 17.10, and it completes installation but when it boots to the desktop for the first time there's an alert window open which reads:
I close the message and mount the Guest Additions ISO from the 'Devices' menu and run the software.
I have no idea what to do with this. I've been digging through forums for hours but haven't found a solution that addresses this issue specifically. I'm still hunting but would be grateful for personal guidance!
