[SOLVED] Can't install guest additions to ubuntu 14.04 mini on Virtualbox
by karupoiss from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5JYGJ)
So I installed ubuntu 14.04 from mini cd and added LXDE to it (nothing more) on Virtualbox.
I try to install guest additions and when clicking devices - add guest addition cd on virtualbox it throws "error, not authorized to perform operation" in ubuntu even though I can see the VBox_GAs_6-1-22 being in the "cd" drive.
When I try to open/mount/eject the media on ubuntu it throws the same error.
It feels like I don't have some root rights or smth? Even though when installing Ubuntu I made only my own account and I have no idea how to log in under anything else.
How could I get guest additions installed? It doesn't bother me that much but I want the copy/paste files between host system and VB to work.
Thanks!
