How to: Install VirtualBox Guest Additions into Ubuntu

If you try to install VirtualBox Guest Additions in Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit or 64-bit, you'll have some problems with administrator privileges.

The fast way is open it with the autorun prompt. The steps are 2.

1. Install the VirtualBox Guest Additions from the VirtualBox menu. Now in the Ubuntu's Destop you will find the CD link, something like VBOXADDITIONS_XXXX


2. Right click on the VBOXADDITIONS_XXXX icon on Desktop and select 'Open with Autorun Prompt'. Insert your password.

Wait the end of installation (about one minute) and restart your SO.

Have a nice day
