Hello, I am having difficulty installing the guest additions in Puppy Linux 5.6. (the PAE version). I have searched the internet and the VBox forums for solutions and have found some for Puppy 4, which I have not tested, but I couldn't find any solutions for Puppy 5.6. The error reported is that gcc and make are not installed, but of course, they are (see the attached screenshot). (It also reports that it can't find the kernel sources, and they are on the system as well.) My real goal is to get the display to be 1920 by 1080, but for some reason Xorg doesn't like anything more than 1024 by 768 (I've tried everything from the wizards in Puppy to editing the configuration files to installing various packages from PPM, nothing seems to work). In VirtualBox's preferences, I have used both the hint (at 1920 by 1080) and none options for the display limits.

Thus, I was hoping guest additions would fix the problem, but it seems impossible to get working. I've tried the live CD, the frugal install, and the full install (for Puppy), I have also tried installing all of the different make and gcc packages, kernel sources, and other packages that sounded good (guessing). I also want to point out that I've had this problem on the Non-PAE version of Slacko Puppy 5.5 (many months ago, I just never got around to posting the problem here). I'm not sure if this is a Vbox problem or the OS's problem, but I've heard some people getting it to work (but I obviously cannot replicate their success), so hopefully it is just one of things that requires getting one's hands dirty in the config files. If you can get it to work, a step-by-step guide would be most helpful! (Even more lovely would be modifying the guest additions to work on slacko puppy out of the box.)

Aug 04, 2008  Run VBoxLinuxAdditions installer. Select Devices->Install Guest Additions. On the VirtualBox menu, then switch back to the virtual machine and mount the VBOX CD-ROM by using pmount on the desktop. The ROX file manager will pop up and show the contents of the virtual CD. Click the VBoxLinuxAdditions.run icon and the VirtualBox Guest Additions will be installed in few minutes.

Step 1 – Installing VirtualBox As the first step, we are going to install Oracle VirtualBox. This is pretty straightforward, just run the installer and leave everything on default. Start VirtualBox soon as you got it installed. Step 2 – Creating a Virtual Machine Good, now we are going to create our first Virtual Machine. Jurnal biologi perikanan pdf.

This is much easier than you might think. Once you have VirtualBox started, click on New. Give it a Name, choose a Type and a Version as follows: • Name: Linux Mint 19 (Or whatever you want to call it) • Type: Linux • Version: Ubuntu (64bit) Creating a new VM Click on Next and assign it a certain amount of Memory. For a good experience, a rule of thumb is: If you have 8GB of RAM, assign it 4GB. If you have 16, you can assign it more but you don’t have to.

Mint runs pretty well even on 4GB. Assigning RAM Click on Next when you are finished and select: Create a virtual hard disk now and click on Create. Leave it on the default VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image) and click Next.

Leave it on Dynamically allocated and click Next. Dynamically allocated means that if you choose to give the VM 20 GB of space, but the size of your installation is only 6GB big, it will only eat up 6GB of your physical hard drive instead of the whole 20. But it will fill up to a maximum of 20GB.
