@Felix - I've found a package called virtualbox-guest-additions in the software center, but it doesn't sound like that's what you mean:
"This package provides an iso image which contains the guest additions for Linux, Solaris and Windows to be installed on the host system. The guest systems then can mount the iso and install the guest additions from there." so that sounds like you're supposed to install it on the host. I can't find the package virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 in the software center but it installs from the command line (is there a reason that's not in the software center?). So, after installing that, now I have the guest addition options like autoresize and seamless, but now my desktop has no launcher or panel, and if I try to start compiz from the terminal: sam@sam-VirtualBox:~$ compiz --replace Backend : gconf Integration : true Profile : unity Adding plugins Initializing core options...done Initializing bailer options...done Initializing detection options...done Initializing composite options...done OpenGL Warning: No pincher, please call crStateSetCurrentPointers() in your SPU Initializing opengl options...done OpenGL Info: Using XSHM for GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap Initializing decor options...done Initializing mousepoll options...done Initializing vpswitch options...done Initializing animation options...done Initializing snap options...done Initializing expo options...done Initializing move options...done Initializing place options...done Initializing grid options...done Initializing gnomecompat options...done Initializing wall options...done Initializing ezoom options...done Initializing workarounds options...done Initializing staticswitcher options...done Initializing resize options...done Initializing fade options...done Initializing scale options...done Initializing session options...done ** (<unknown>:1758): DEBUG: Unity accessibility initialization Initializing unityshell options...done ** (<unknown>:1758): DEBUG: MaximizeIfBigEnough: Gnome-terminal window size doesn't fit ** (<unknown>:1758): DEBUG: PlaceEntry: Applications ** (<unknown>:1758): DEBUG: PlaceEntry: Commands ** (<unknown>:1758): DEBUG: PlaceEntry: Files & Folders ** (<unknown>:1758): WARNING **: Failed to fetch view type at /org/ayatana/bamf/window71303205: Method "ViewType" with signature "" on interface "org.ayatana.bamf.view" doesn't exist terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): std::bad_alloc Aborted (core dumped) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/738330 Title: Today's Natty update means no guest additions in virtualbox -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
