Problem: after upgrading the Ubuntu guest (running on Windows 7 host) to 15.10, | |
1. The full screen mode stopped working; | |
2. The shared folder with windows host stopped working; | |
Fixes: | |
1. Upgraded to virtual box version 5.0.10 (the latest version at the time). | |
2. Install VirtualBox Guest Additional as usual | |
# sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom | |
# cd /media/cdrom | |
# sudo ./VBoxLinuxAddtionRun | |
But failed to install Windows system drivers because of "unknown X11 version" | |
This is fixed by "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-x11" package. | |
After a reboot, the full screen comes back. | |
3. Turn out there is a bug in virtualbox software, it did not update the symbolic link /sbin/mount.vboxsf points to, | |
and it still points to the old one which was cleaned during step 2. | |
# sudo rm /sbin/mount.vboxsf | |
# sudo ln -s /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-5.0.10/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions/mount.vboxsf /sbin/mount.vboxsf | |
with a reboot, the shared folder now works. |
