Hi Frank, Can you please help, I am not able to install Guest additions normally. Below is what I have and tried.
Host Win 7 Installed Oracle VM4.3.10 Installed Ubunto 12.04 on vm now tried installing Guest Addition like->Device->Insert Guest Additions CD images..: Nothing happen, then I tried from command line to mount "sudo mount /media/cdrom" and again the above step, now I am getting error: "Unable to insert the virtual optical cd C: Programfiles/../../VirtualboxGuestAdditions.iso into machine .. Could not mount the media/drive 'C:/Programfiles../..VirtualBoxadditions.iso (VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED)" Then I tried from CLI: sudo apt-get install birtusalbox-guest-additions-iso" was sucessful then I again tried to install from Device->Insert.. as above but getting same error as above Can you please suggest a solution for this. Thanks a lot in advance.
