Hello !

I am using debian in a VM and should have virtualbox guest additions installed - but I am not sure!!
How can I find this out ? I looked at debian apt-store and according to this, I do not have the
additions insatlled, while my notes say, I've done it.
I have just so much trouble with VMs, that I really do not want to install them probably a second time.

Any help would be great!
Regards,
Manfred

open up terminal and type

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep vbox

If installed and working, you should see it list the 3 virtualbox modules: vboxguest, vboxsf, and vboxvideo

Code: Select all

modinfo vboxguest
modinfo vboxsf
modinfo vboxvideo

Will show you the version of each module that is currently running.

Thanks !
