Here is my output from VBoxManage showvminfo WindowsXP Is there a way to test is the GA are actually working? But the mouse issue is making the system somewhat useless (except to play with).

I upped my VM Ram to 1Gb and upped my Video RAM to 32MB and the desktop seems to move along nicely. My remote mouse and local mouse will not sync and I have two pointers. VBoxManage modifyvm -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso And did get the ISO to mount as show here:ĭVD: /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso (UUID: f8715750-3fb0-4ac0-971a-ca8475b85661)Īlthough I had to modify your command like this (had to remove one of the dashes in front of dvd): I am beginning to think it is more than just the GA.

Can someone give me an exact syntax to use with VBoxManage to mount the GA ISO? Then I assume there must be a way to launch an install of the GA? Or am I totally missing the process? The best I can manage is to get an error indicating the my Vm "WindowsXP" does not have any open sessions? Which for the life of me I can not figure out. The various parameters that I have tried with VBoxManage have not yielded success though. I did know that the GA iso is located in /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso. Huuummm I did try a few VBoxManage command lines with various delimiters with no success. This paragraph is just background to indicated that indeed I am running headless (i.e. I can access this VM remotely using an RDP client from another system on my network. To install the Guest additions, you need to mount the ISO image in your VM.So to date I have been able to Install VirtualBox on a headless Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) server and build a Windows XP Virtual machine (from an XP ISO). VirtualBox guest additions are stored in an ISO image VBoxGuestAdditions.iso format inside the VirtualBox installation directory.
