VirtualBox - Question
Unable to mount the CD/DVD image /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso on the machine christseru910. Would you like to force mounting of this medium?
Could not mount the media/drive '/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' (VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED).
Please advise how to solve this problem.

Shut down the guest and go to the setting under storage and mount the guest additions there. Restart the guest and it will work.

Hi Perryg,
Ubuntu 9.10/Debian 5.04 (both 64bit)
Problem solved as follow;
To install Guest Additions on guest it needs dkms and gcc packages. Also it needs to copy VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run to home folder/directory to execute the command.
Step performed as follow;
On Guest:-
After installing dkms and gcc.
$ copy /cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run /home/satimis/
$ ls /home/satimis/
Code: Select all
Desktop VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run
$ cd /home/satimis/
$ sudo chmod +x VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run
$ sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run
Code: Select all
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 3.1.4 Guest Additions for Linux........
VirtualBox Guest Additions installer
Removing installed version of VirtualBox Guest Additions...
Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules
Your guest system does not seem to have sufficient OpenGL support to enable
accelerated 3D effects (this requires Linux 2.6.27 or later in the guest
system). This Guest Additions feature will be disabled.
Building the main Guest Additions module ...done.
Building the shared folder support module ...done.
Doing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions ...done.
Starting the VirtualBox Guest Additions ...done.
Installing the Window System drivers
Installing X.Org Server 1.4 modules ...done.
Setting up the Window System to use the Guest Additions ...done.
You may need to restart the hal service and the Window System (or just restart
the guest system) to enable the Guest Additions.
Installing graphics libraries and desktop services components ...done.
Reboot the guest.
Now copy/paste between guest and host are working.
The warning on my previous posting is correct. Because VBoxGuestAdditions iso image is already mounted on settings. It is not necessary to mount it again with Device -> "InstallGuestAdditions"
