| 8 | The <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> Guest Additions contain several different
|
|---|
| 9 | drivers. If you do not want to configure them all, use the
|
|---|
| 10 | following command to install the Guest Additions:
|
|---|
| 11 | </p>
|
|---|
| 12 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run no_setup</pre>
|
|---|
| 13 | <p>
|
|---|
| 14 | After running this script, run the <userinput>rcvboxadd
|
|---|
| 15 | setup</userinput> command as <codeph>root</codeph> to compile
|
|---|
| 16 | the kernel modules.
|
|---|
| 17 | </p>
|
|---|
| 18 | <p>
|
|---|
| 19 | On some 64-bit guests, you must replace <filepath>lib</filepath>
|
|---|
| 20 | with <filepath>lib64</filepath>. On older guests that do not run
|
|---|
| 21 | the <userinput>udev</userinput> service, you must add the
|
|---|
| 22 | <userinput>vboxadd</userinput> service to the default runlevel to
|
|---|
| 23 | ensure that the modules are loaded.
|
|---|
| 24 | </p>
|
|---|
| 25 | <p>
|
|---|
| 26 | To set up the time synchronization service, add the
|
|---|
| 27 | <userinput>vboxadd-service</userinput> service to the default
|
|---|
| 28 | runlevel. To set up the X11 and OpenGL part of the Guest
|
|---|
| 29 | Additions, run the <userinput>rcvboxadd-x11 setup</userinput>
|
|---|
| 30 | command. Note that you do not need to enable additional
|
|---|
| 31 | services.
|
|---|
| 32 | </p>
|
|---|
| 33 | <p>
|
|---|
| 34 | Use the <userinput>rcvboxadd setup</userinput> to recompile the
|
|---|
| 35 | guest kernel modules.
|
|---|
| 36 | </p>
|
|---|
| 37 | <p>
|
|---|
| 38 | After compilation, reboot your guest to ensure that the new
|
|---|
| 39 | modules are loaded.
