Ubuntu 13.10 based distros not rebuilding the GAs

[loukingjr]

I have a few Ubuntu 13.10 based guests, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu etc. that when installing the kernel update from 3.10.0-0 to 3.10.0-2, no longer rebuild the GAs. I had to reinstall the GAs to get them to work. DKMS and Build-Essential, Headers etc were installed. Just noting it.

edit: I meant this to go in Linux guests. I don't think it's a Mac host issue.

Dont expect support for alpha versions.

[loukingjr]

I don't. Just noting it.

I have not been keeping up on 13.10 because I don't care for the way it is progressing. That said instead of reinstalling you can usually run the following command to get the guest additions going again. Not sure how they are going to work in MIR but they should work in the fallback X.

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

okay, thanks Perry.

[loukingjr]

just a note... when I ran the sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup command I got this error...
sudo: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: command not found

[Perryg]

Of course you do! That is for the host side. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

change vboxdrv to vboxadd

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup

oh. LOL
