Google Ubuntu 14.04 (or 16.04… 20.04, etc.) Virtual Box Guest Additions. The best bet to find accurate information is to search using very discrete or specific search criteria using the actual version of Ubuntu – e.g. Other real good VB Guest Additions tutorials located here:Īgain note that it is impossible to provide 100% up to the minute accurate information as this highly transitory environment changes constantly. Note, learning about the VB Guest Additions will also illustrate some differences between Windows and Mac with respect to device drivers therefore it is important reading for CIS students. For a comprehensive understanding, I recommend you read about the guest additions in the Virtual Box manual: There are many good VB Guest Additions tutorials on the Web. Explore each icon and their settings and description. Again note that for each icon you have basic, advanced and description options. Goto Settings and look at the icons across the top of the screen (you should already have done this but we need to be very familiar with the functionality). Start VirtualBox but do not start your Ubuntu Instance yet. Well after that long- winded introduction ComputerWorld, InfoWeek, etc.) you will see something on virtualization at least 3 days a week as this is pervasive in industry. BTW – if you subscribe to any technical IS/IT RSS feeds, (e.g. VirtualBox is wonderful for many reasons as its settings will teach you about Operating Systems (OS). This of course also lets you help others better. This serves several purposes as it is necessary to use the correct terminology to search for answers should you have problems.
Settings – More Virtual Box Components/Functionalityįirst, let’s become more familiar with the VirtualBox environment. shared folders), please reinstall with these same instructions as the scripts will remove the old version and reinstall the latest version. If you see that you have lost full screen mode or other Guest Additions functionality (e.g. *Note – for some reason I had to reinstall the Guest Additions a 2nd time 4 weeks after the first installation as I lost access to my shared folders. Again, I recommend you read this in its entirety to understand the content, task and available resources. Ok, so VB is up and running but it would be nice to have full screen and other advanced functionality (like shared folders between your host and guest Ubuntu OS) so let’s install and investigate VB in more depth and first we will install the VB Guest Additions and implement Shared Folders. Again this is optional and should this give you any problems please just move on and don’t waste time on this. This is optional since this does not work on all Windows machines and this is beyond my control.
