Public bug reported: I am using an ubuntu 14.04. I have installed virtual box. The installed version is 4.3.10. The version of virtualbox-guest-additions-iso that is installed and is used by the vbox GUI to install the guest additions in the guest OS matches the vbox version. But is not working. The version that works is: virtualbox-guest-additions-iso v4.3.22.
While trying to install for check the ubuntu 15.04 in a virtual box, I got a 640X480 screen. I used virtualbox's Gui (Devises -> Insert Guest Additions CD image) to install guest additions . (install program started automatically inside guest, asked me for my admin password in guest, started the installation but failed Building the main Guest Additions module ...done. Building the shared folder support module ...fail! (Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong) Doing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions ...done. Installing the Window System drivers Warning: unknown version of the X Window System installed. Not installing X Window System drivers. ...done. Installing graphics libraries and desktop services components ...done. Rebooting and again 640X480. Ok, maybe it is 15.04 that has the problem. Let's try to install a 14.04 in this virtual machine. Same problem. Temporary solution: download from http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.3.22/VBoxGuestAdditions_4.3.22.iso load it in a virtual CD and voila... Building the main Guest Additions module ...done. Building the shared folder support module ...done. Building the OpenGL support module ...done. Doing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions ...done. You should restart your guest to make sure the new modules are actually used Installing the Window System drivers Installing X.Org Server 1.16 modules ...done. Setting up the Window System to use the Guest Additions ...done. You may need to restart the hal service and the Window System (or just restart the guest system) to enable the Guest Additions. Installing graphics libraries and desktop services components ...done. Rebooting I had 1280X960 screen. ----- lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Release: 14.04 $apt-cache policy virtualbox virtualbox: Εγκατεστημένα: 4.3.10-dfsg-1ubuntu5 Υποψήφιο: 4.3.10-dfsg-1ubuntu5 Πίνακας Έκδοσης: *** 4.3.10-dfsg-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/multiverse amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/multiverse amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 4.3.10-dfsg-1 0 500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/multiverse amd64 Packages $apt-cache policy virtualbox-guest-additions-iso virtualbox-guest-additions-iso: Εγκατεστημένα: 4.3.10-1 Υποψήφιο: 4.3.10-1 Πίνακας Έκδοσης: *** 4.3.10-1 0 500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/multiverse amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: virtualbox-guest-additions (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1482321 Title: virtualbox guest additions iso is outdated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-guest-additions/+bug/1482321/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
