I'm a relative newbie to VB and a complete newbie to Ubuntu, so please treat me gently .
My main objective is to install MySQL somewhere but I'm having lots of problems just getting a working VM up and running. Here's what I'm using, if you need anything else, please just ask:
Host : Windows 10 22H2
Virtual Box : 7.0.14
Guest : $ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy
I'm trying to install the GAs for 7.0.14 (because someone suggested that they may be required to get shared clipboards working).
Code: Select all
jes@ubuntu1:/media/jes/VBox_GAs_7.0.14$ sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
