Virtualization guest additions?

[masteroc]

Trying to set up BT in virtualbox and I am reading some posts about "guest additions" that help run BT in virtualbox. How do I find these and install them? I tried a google search but didnt get much as far as BT goes. I did find some info on installing them in Ubuntu, but when I go to the Devices menu and click the install addons button, an error message appears about forcing an umount. Any ideas about this?

Thanks!

If VirtualBox is trying to force a 'umount', then the Guest Additions ISO image is presumably already mounted, and you are trying to unmount it.

In a terminal, type 'mount', and you should see something along the lines of '/dev/hdc on /mnt/cdrom type iso9660 (ro)'. If you don't see something like that, then type the following to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions:

mkdir /mnt/cdrom && mount /dev/cdrom3 /mnt/cdrom && /mnt/cdrom/autorun.sh'

I have /dev/hdc on mount....etc mounted, but there is no autorun.sh in the /mnt/cdrom directory.

K to be sure you mount the guest additions disk go to "Devices" (on top of the window where BT is running) and select "Install Guest Additions"

then in terminal:
mount /dev/cdrom3
cd /media/cdrom
./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

reboot

enjoy the newly installed guest additions

This worked!
