How to install Virtual Box's VBox Guest Additions extension, I believe that many inexperienced people do not know what to do, so this article summarizes the causes of the problem and solutions, through this article I hope you can solve this problem.

The default installation of Virtual Box does not include the extension Guest Addition, which brings a variety of inconveniences in the actual use, such as accessing the operating system of the virtual machine only through small windows, switching the mouse through the default right Ctrl, not sharing files with the host operating system, and so on.

These drawbacks can be perfectly resolved after the installation of the Guest Additions extension.

Guest Additions, hence the name Siyi, needs to be installed in Guest, the virtual machine operating system.

Download the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso image file on VirtualBox's official website

Http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.0.16/

Then hang the iso file saved locally in the host operating system into the optical drive of the virtual machine operation repair:

My virtual machine operating system is Ubuntu, create a new folder / mnt/cdrom:

Then use the command line sudo mount / dev/cdrom / mnt/cdrom to attach the CD drive to the directory / mnt/cdrom:

Then enter / mnt/cdrom, and you can see the contents of the image file VBoxGuestAdditions.iso:

Execute the script file. / VBoxLinuxAdditions.run:

I received a prompt later: Running kernel modules will not be replaced until the system is restarted. This indicates that Guest Additions has been successfully installed in the virtual machine operating system Ubuntu, and the restart of the virtual machine will take effect.
