VBoxHeadless & GuestAdditions
Posted: 10. May 2011, 13:30
hi all again!!
i have two VM up & running perfectly in my host.
the next step i want to do and i can't accomplish is to create 2 shared folders one for VM1-HOST & anotherone for VM2-HOST.
the problem i got is that i don't know how to link the GuestAdditions to my VM to perform the install.
i thought of using the same command as installing the OS guest iso(i followed the user manual to install the VM's) :
VBoxManage storageattach "BXVI" --storagectl "IDE Controller2" --port 0 --device 1 --type dvddrive --medium /path/to/guestAddition.iso.
i have taken a look at the "user manual section 8 VBoxManage" but i can't manage to install the GuestAdditions.
sorry if i got the answer infront but i can't see it.
thanks!!
well i have found that the guestaddition.iso is at /dev/dvd. so i did "./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run" and failed in two things doing the installation.
1st-> i figured that i need to install the dkms, linux-header.
uname -r 2.6.18-92.el5
when i do "./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run" it says : the headers for the current runnig kernel where not found. try yum install kernel-devel-2.6.18-92.el5. it seems you system is not set up to build kernel modules.
i don't think this is right, or yes¿?¿?¿?
thanks!!
