They may have to be rebuilt each time the time you upgrade to -a new version of VirtualBox. - -Make sure VM is configured with an Optical Drive. - -Please follow these steps to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions on the -Build Appliance VM: - -1. Boot VM, select root "Terminal" instead of the default "Terminal <2>" - -2. Insert Guest additions CD into VM optical drive: - VM menu "Devices"->"Optical Drives"-> Select "VBoxGuestAdditions<version>.iso" - -3. Find your CDROM device. Typically it is /dev/hda for IDE. You can determine - the actual name <cdromedev> by viewing the cdrom info: - - # cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info - - Mount the cdrom drive: - # mount -t iso9660 <cdromdev> /media/cdrom - i.e.: - # mount -t iso9660 /dev/hda /media/cdrom - -4. Build the additions: - - First, we need to build of some prerequisite utilities. - (This is only needed to be done once) - - # cd /lib/modules/<kernel-version>-yocto-standard/build - # make scripts - - Now build the guest additions: - - # /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run --nox11 - - At this point, providing there were no build errors, the guest additions are - built and installed. - -5. Check if vbox additions running: - - # /etc/init.d/vboxadd status - - If not running, try manually starting: - - # /etc/init.d/vboxadd start - -6. Check if additons actually work, in particular folder sharing. - - Host: Devices->Shared Folders->Shared Folder Settings... - Add any host folder and name it (i.e. "images") - - Guest VM: create mount point for the shared folder, i.e.: - - # mkdir ~/my-host - - Mount the shared folder: (Watch out for spelling: it's vboxsf NOT vboxfs) - - # mount -t vboxsf images ~/my-host - - Verify mount, should see the contents of the shared folder: - - # ls ~/my-host - - - - - - - - |
