Posted: 24. Jun 2009, 01:48
VirtualBox 3.0.0 Beta1 R48728
I installed guest additions on the guest: Jaunty 64bit Desktop using x86_64
Guest:
Linux wirechief-laptop64 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:58:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Useing Devices to install VirtualBox guest addtions fails and locks the screen and i have to
terminate the session, i was able to mount the cdrom and run the VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run
see attachments: VBox.log , xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log, and dmesg.txt for details.
The mouse integration seems to work except i am not able to copy and paste between the host
and guest or vice versa.
