I’ve decided to start posting in english because I think this is the best option to get my blog across to different people around the world… in case you need it, I’ve installed a nice translate plugin provided by Google which generally provides a good translation.

Today I just wanted to post a quick fix to the message we might get in VirtualBox running on Linux when we attempt to install VirtualBox guest Additions.

It’s easy:

Download the Virtualbox guest additions here: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/ (choose your virtualbox version)

Then open a terminal window, and type:
sudo mv /home/YOURUSERNAME/Downloads/VBoxGuestAdditions_4.1.2.iso /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

Remember: replace VBoxGuestAdditions_4.1.2.iso with your VBoxGuestAdditions version.

This way we are going to move the file from Downloads and into /usr/share/virtualbox and rename it at the same time. Not sure renaming is needed though but it saves me some typing anyway.

After this, you will be able to click on the menu Devices>Install Guest Additions
