Vbox strange behaviour of additions [solved]

[spydmobile]

Hi, I am running vbox xVM 2.0.6 for windows with a ubuntu 8.10 guest. Everything seemed to be perfectly normal till the other day, the mouse started getting captured in the window again, also, right-ctrl-L stopped working. I tried re-installing the additions but it did not help, has this happened to anyone before and did you manage to fix it?

Thanks in advance for any advice or help!

Edit:  Found a reference, sorry for the confusion, this is caused by a linux kernel update Solved by re-installing the linux additions (which actually recompiles for the new kernel) In my Ubuntu 8.10 you cannot do it the way it suggests, since it fails and required admin, so from a terminal I cd to the mounted addtions crom and manually ran the installer with sudo like so: Code: Select all sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run then reboot the guest. , see more here: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic. ... =additions and here: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic. ... =additions
