Package: virtualbox-ose-guest-utils
Version: 4.0.4-dfsg-1+b2
Severity: normal
I have installed virtualbox-ose and installed a Windows system. I
want to have shared folders, so I need guest additions.
However, after installing virtualbox-ose-guest-utils, virtualbox still
tells me that guest additions are not installed!! Does this Debian
package install guest additions? If yes, why virtualbox still tells me
no? If no, then what is the purpose of this package?
I saw that I can use Device->Install Additions to install them from
Internet, but I prefer to use the guest additions from debian, instead
of downloading them from Internet (and updating them manually).
Cheers,
Eugen

virtualbox-ose-guest-utils is for installation inside the guest and thus only
for Debian guests. You can get the Windows guest utils either from the internet
or by installing virtualbox-guest-additions to the host which will install the
same iso image as downloadable from the internet. Then you can install the
guest utils from this CD image.
