You now need to reboot the virtual machine or press Ctrl+Alt+backspace. n (yes, that is a full stop before the slash!)Īfter you hit enter and it has done its stuff, the files are now accessable from Ubuntu. dir (You should see amongst the files displayed n) cd /media/cdrom0 (then hit enter, there is a space after cd!) The terminal window is where you will run the file from, but first we must navigate to the correct directory. You must run the file with some admin permissions so do that this way.Ĭlick inside the Ubuntu screen again then go to Applications - Accessories then Terminal.
You will see a window pop up inside Ubuntu showing you that there are some new files mounted in a virtual CDROM drive. Hit the right ctrl key so you can get your mouse pointer outside the virtual machine.ģ.Go to top of virtual window, click on devices then select 'Install Guest Additions'
