Cannot find VBoxManage on Ubuntu guest

Post by rhc »

Seems like a silly problem, but I have searched my VM and simply cannot find where VBoxManage was installed. I installed the Ubuntu image and the GuestAdditions - is there something else I need to install?

VBoxManage is one of the tools installed on your host when you install VirtualBox. It is the command line equivalent to the GUI used for creating and modifying guests.
