VirtualBox Guest Addition Installation
VirtualBox Guest Addition Installation
New to CentOS. Can't workout why i can't get full screen
Seems to have to do with ...Kernel headers not found for target headers
Please install them and execute /sbin/rcvboxadd setup
modprobe vboxguest failed
I apologise if this makes no sense or is completely basic, but i hope some will understand my inexperience and help with instructions for a complete beginner.
In addition if i click on Devices > Insert guest additions cd image. I get the following Unable to insert the virtual optical disk c:\program files\oracle\virtualbox\vboxguestadditions.iso into the machine centos

Re: VirtualBox Guest Addition Installation
First, you need to install kernel headers:
Then, you need to make VirtualBox attach the guest additions DVD and install from there.
Code: Select all
yum install kernel-headers
Re: VirtualBox Guest Addition Installation
Thank you
I successfully installed kernel headers with the yum install kernel-headers as suggested, but still getting the same error. I have attached some shots with the hope they will help.
Can't copy from guest to host until I've installed guest additions hence the screenshots.

Re: VirtualBox Guest Addition Installation
What is the content of the setup log (in your last screenshot)?
You can use pastebin.com to paste it there.

Re: VirtualBox Guest Addition Installation
The version of kernel-devel needs to match the version of the running kernel exactly. If you run uname -r then that is the version of the kernel-devel package that needs to be installed so to check if it is, run rpm -q kernel-devel-$(uname -r). Now reboot into the latest kernel and try that again and see if it gives output now?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
