Component: OSGeoLive | Keywords: vmdk, virtualbox guest additions
-------------------------+----------------------------------------------
The virtualbox guest additions are already installed in the vmdk
{{{
user@osgeolive:~$ sudo apt-get install --yes virtualbox-guest-utils
virtualbox-guest-x11[sudo] password for user:

virtualbox-guest-utils is already the newest version
(6.1.38-dfsg-3~ubuntu1.22.04.1).
virtualbox-guest-utils set to manually installed.
virtualbox-guest-x11 is already the newest version
(6.1.38-dfsg-3~ubuntu1.22.04.1).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:
libfuse2 libntfs-3g89
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

The pre-installation of the virtualbox guest additions in the vmdk could
be a problem
* if you are using another vm solution, e.g. parallels, vmware, ...
* if you have an incombatible vbox version
* if you unaware of the apt-Package and you try to install the virtualbox
guest additions from the Guest Additions CD Image.
{{{
sudo /media/user/VBox_GAs_7.0.8/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
}}}
In this case you get error messages during the start of the VM
{{{
systemctl
...
upower.service

}}}
Maybe it would be better, to deinstall the virtualbox guest additions at
the end. In this case every user could install the virtualbox guest
additions from the "Guest Additions CD Image" by himself / herself, which
is also recommended by !VirtualBox.
