VirtualBox Guest Addition Issue


Hello everyone,


I have a VM running, which is Ubuntu Server. My Host machine is an Ubuntu 12.04. Basically, I am trying to get those Guest Additions installed to enable shared folders - but I don't get it working.

I tried it via apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions of which I thought was an up-to-date package, obv. it was not since the call of sharing folders (á la https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=15868).

I am always in tears since I am not getting this done and I'm having problems with those guest additions for like the thousandst time - warrrgh.

Please, help me out on that one!

1. So glad we could help!
2. No worry, that happens to all of us.
3. This might be just the link that seven other people needed, and they will find it here because you shared. Thank you!
