Guest Additions Image

Post by kyle m »

Hey there !

I downloaded Ubuntu and guest additions, VirtualBox, got Ubuntu all set up on VM and then ran into an issue trying to insert the guest additions image.

I keep getting this error...

I'm running a 10.13.6 2011 Macbook Pro

Any ideas?...I've tried doing the whole sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-utils in the terminal with no luck.

You don't need to download Guest Additions, they are bundled with VirtualBox. Installation instructions can be found in chapter 4 of the user manual.

Unfortunately, NS_ERROR_FAILURE message isn't telling me much.

Did you use the "Devices|Insert Guest Additions CD..." menu item to insert the GAs disk?
