Can't findLinux guest additions installer
Posted: 22. Jul 2019, 22:26
I'm failing miserably to get Guest Additions installed on my Linux guest.
I have VirtualBox 6.0.10 r132072 (Qt5.6.3) running on my Mac 10.14.5; the guest is Ubuntu Server 18.04, with no GUI--it's all CLI. When I mount the Guest Additions in the virtual optical drive, I can't find it in my directory. I've run "ls" on /dev/cdrom, /dev/dvd, /media, /mnt; none of them have any content. There is /dev/disk/by-label/VBox_GAs_6.0.10, which itself is a link to /dev/sr0, which is empty. (When I "remove the disk from the virtual drive", that link disappears. I get exactly the same behavior whether I use the ISO included in the VirtualBox app bundle or the one I downloaded from https://download.virtualbox.org/virtual ... 6.0.10.iso.
I'd love some guidance as to what I might be doing wrong; any suggestions would be appreciated.
