Troubleshooting page

Note : As stated here : if in Virtual box, do not forget to install addional guests as a first step (-> VBoxLinuxAdditions.run + restart + unmount)

• Start VM, goto Devices - Insert Guest Additions CD image to mount the ISO image.

• From the terminal, run the following commands:

  $ sudo su
  $ apt install gcc make
  $ mkdir --parents /media/cdrom
  $ mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
  $ /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
  $ reboot

• After reboot:

  $ modinfo vboxguest
  $ sudo usermod --append --groups vboxsf -- "$USER"
  $ cat /etc/group | grep "$USER"

• Host shares should now be mounted in Ubuntu guest under /media via the installed VBoxService service, set to start on system boot-up.

• All done.

Note: the above steps can be repeated on an existing VM image for guest addition upgrades, VBoxLinuxAdditions.run will handle the uninstall and reinstall process automatically.
