New question #77034 on Ubuntu: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77034
Summary / Title says it all... ~.~.~ Hello there! Have been googling for some time and finding only similar (unanswered) requests, but no fool-proof complete-newbie-friendly step-by-step guide. I've read a number of warnings (from official Ubuntu support) _not_ to log in as "root", but - if and when needed - to use a "sudo" (super-user) prefix to run admin commands... I've "installed" the VMAdditionsForLinux_32Bit.msi to the standard directory (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual PC\Virtual Machine Additions) and tried to understand the VMAdditionsForLinux-README.txt - note that these instructions aren't for Ubuntu, let alone Jaunty Jackalope. - Apparently, a "root" login is required - I don't know if "sudo" (or similar) would do the trick, too. Anyway, I've captured the image (?) of VMAdditionsForLinux.iso into the VPC (Microsoft Virtual PC) and tried to find and execute a "setup.exe" - but there was nothing to be found on the "CD" - when perusing the "properties" of the "CD" it said sth like: "root" only... So this is how far I'd like to take it myself... I am grateful for any help / advice you'd like to share with me / the community. tp. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
