| 7 | <p>The <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> Guest Additions contain several different drivers. If
|
|---|
| 8 | you do not want to configure them all, use the following command to install the Guest Additions: </p>
|
|---|
| 9 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run no_setup</pre>
|
|---|
| 10 | <p>After running this script, run the <userinput>rcvboxadd setup</userinput> command as <codeph>root</codeph> to
|
|---|
| 11 | compile the kernel modules. </p>
|
|---|
| 12 | <p>On some 64-bit guests, you must replace <filepath>lib</filepath> with <filepath>lib64</filepath>. On older guests
|
|---|
| 13 | that do not run the <userinput>udev</userinput> service, you must add the <userinput>vboxadd</userinput> service
|
|---|
| 14 | to the default runlevel to ensure that the modules are loaded. </p>
|
|---|
| 15 | <p>To set up the time synchronization service, add the <userinput>vboxadd-service</userinput> service to the default
|
|---|
| 16 | runlevel. To set up the X11 and OpenGL part of the Guest Additions, run the <userinput>rcvboxadd-x11
|
|---|
| 17 | setup</userinput> command. Note that you do not need to enable additional services. </p>
|
|---|
| 18 | <p>Use the <userinput>rcvboxadd setup</userinput> to recompile the guest kernel modules. </p>
|
|---|
| 19 | <p>After compilation, reboot your guest to ensure that the new modules are loaded. </p>
