Host OS: Windows 10 Pro
Guest OS: Ubuntu 16 (yes, I know its old)
Just updated VB to Version 7.0.14 r161095 (Qt5.15.2) and no more updates found.
I previously wondered if Guest Additions was installed or not <viewtopic.php?t=111311>.
But I read elsewhere that the menu item for Upgrade Guest Additions would be enabled IF GA was already installed. Mine is not. So I guessed this means that GA need to be installed.
So I attached the GA CD and let it run the software. The software asked for my su password and I gave it. All appeared to run to completion without problems. So I powered-off and re-started the VM. When the VM came back up I was suddenly prompted to enter a password first-thing. This was never the case before - I was always taken directly to the desktop - which is what I want. I input my password but after a brief period I just get re-prompted again and again. I was able to log in a guest session in Ubuntu but that isn't what I want/need.
To recover, I had to restore the VM folders on the Windows host machine from last night's backup. I tried this more than once with the same results. How can I overcome these obstacles? Thanks
