-Installing VirtualBox Guest Additions
-=====================================
-
-In order to use VirtualBox guest additions, they have to be build
-first. 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
-
