They offer quality of life type improvements for working with your virtual machine: The VirtualBox guest additions consist of a set of drivers and kernel modules for the operating system, when installed as a VirtualBox virtual machine. The reason for this is that the Ubuntu installer does not install the so called VirtualBox guest additions. For example after resizing the virtual machine window or going into full-screen mode. If you ever installed Ubuntu in a VirtualBox virtual machine, you probably noticed that you can’t change the screen resolution. A newer version of this article is availabe, which covers the topic of how to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions in Ubuntu 22.04 “Jammy Jellyfish”. On the 21st of April 2022, the Ubuntu team released the successor Ubuntu 22.04 “Jammy Jellyfish”. This article explains how to install the VirtualBox guest additions in an Ubuntu virtual machine. Besides automatically adjusting the screen resolution, you also get support for a bi-directional clipboard and shared folders. Here's a screen capture of alpha4 and NC in the XP vm, showing no files in the f: drive, even though there are over 500 there (and no, they don't show files for folders with less files either).Bummed that you can’t change the screen resolution in your freshly installed Ubuntu virtual machine? An easy fix exists for this: You just need to install the VirtualBox guest additions in your Ubuntu virtual machine. If instead of using the F: drive in XP, I map a drive directly from another server (Windows 2012), Alpha4 and Norton Commander work without any issues. In Alpha4 I'm able to open files by entering their names, but they're not being shown on the files list and I'm having some other weird issues. When I use either Norton Commander or Alpha4 (an old dbms), no files show up. In XP I can open f: with explorer or run a DIR command and all the files in the drive show up.
Set to auto-mount and permanent, with mount point f: (so XP sees it as F:). Shared folder pointing at either \\fs1\f-drive or directly at F: on the host. This computer has VirtualBox 7.0 installed (Extension Pack and Guest additions installed and apparently working well). WS1 - Win 10 computer, that accesses the shared folder above as a mapped drive - F. Here's the lay of the land:įS1 - Windows Server 2016 file Server where the files reside in a network shared directory. I'm having an issue with shared folders and can't figure out what it is.
