I am struggling to install guest additions in my Linux Virtual Box environment. The reason I’m using the older version of Vbox is because anything newer crashes on start-up on my Win7 machine and the error box is all blacked out so I can’t even begin to troubleshoot that.
Item | Version |
---|---|
Virtual Box ver | 4.3.10 r93012 |
Guest Editions file name | VBoxGuestAdditions_4.3.10.iso |
OS running in VBox | Ubuntu 18.04.4 (64bit) |
Computer OS Vbox is installed in | Windows 7 (x64) |
