For Debian and Debian based distro's like Ubuntu, you need the following packages: These packages enables you to create kernel modules. So take your time to read it all, so you understand what is happening, and more importantly, why it is needed.Īfter you have installed your Linux Guest system, there are a few additional packages needed for the Guest Additions. Skimming this howto and only execute the code blocks might not work if you don't exactly know what needs to be done or what you're doing.
For Gnome, the menu is usually called Applications, but it depends on the distribution and environment (some use an image of a foot for the Gnome menu). It can be usually found in the Accessories section of the panel menu. When you use a GUI, like Gnome, a terminal should be used (but you can also drop to a virtual terminal, or TTY, by using the Host key and F2). These privileges can be obtained by logging in as root (most distributions won't allow this on the GUI, or have root disabled) or use sudo at the beginning of the command. All the commands here are run with root privileges. It would be almost impossible to write a generic, graphical installation method because of all the different graphical environments (Gnome, KDE, Xfce, IceWM, FluxBox, etc.). what's this?
