I am trying to Insert Guest Additions CD Image and then run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

I am new to Ubuntu and trying to learn. I am running Ubuntu 18.04LTS through Oracle VM v6.04r. My host laptop is running Windows 10 Pro. So I went to Devices>Insert Guest Additions CD Image. That created Vbox_GAs_6.0.4 on my Ubuntu Desktop. Then I tried to run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run through the terminal and go the following messages.

arijitpc@arijitpc-VirtualBox:/media/arijitpc/VBox_GAs_6.0.4$ sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
[sudo] password for arijitpc:

Request you to please help me as to what should be done. There are so many information out there, most of which are not working, its confusing. Also request to please provide me the commands I need to run on the terminal as I am mostly not familiar with most lingo in Ubuntu/ Linux environment.

Solution 1:

You probably need to install these 2 packets: virtualbox-guest-utils and virtualbox-guest-dkms

It will require few seconds through this terminal command:

sudo apt install virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-dkms

Then execute again sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run as you did and it should work fine ;)
