Install the enhancement function for Ubuntu 10.10 In VirtualBox Virtual Machine in XP

Host system: Windows XP sp3, virtual system: Ubuntu 10.10.

Since the release of the Ubuntu 10.10 beta version, I have been plagued by the problem of installing enhancements for Ubuntu 10.10 In the virtualbox Virtual Machine Under XP. Although Ubuntu 10.10, which lacks enhanced features, can barely run, it can only run at a low resolution of 800*600, and functions such as seamless mode and clipboard sharing cannot be used, it is said that 3D desktops cannot run.

The attempt to search Baidu and google did not work, so I had to chew on the virtualbox help documentation in English. The key to the problem lies in the installation of dkms (Dynamic Kernel Module Support). For details, see virtualbox "UserManual 4.2.2.1. The procedure is as follows:

1. Run sudo apt-get install dkms on the terminal;

2. Restart Ubuntu;

3. Load the virtualbox enhancement iso image, for example,

4. Enter cd/media/VBOXADDITIONS_3.2.10_66523/in the terminal to locate the loaded virtual optical drive folder. Note that this location is related to the version of virtualbox enhancement;

5. run the following command on the terminal: sudo. /VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run, start to install the enhancement function, note that the above command is only applicable to 32-bit systems, 64-bit system, please select the appropriate command, installation process and after the installation of the terminal output see,

6. restart the system and enter Ubuntu again. This is an immediate result. Not only can the resolution be automatically adjusted to 1024*768, but can be dynamically adjusted as the window size increases, in addition, the shadow and transparent effects of windows in Ubuntu are all displayed. If your video card is not too bad, opening a 3D desktop is not a problem. Try the clipboard or share it with the Ubuntu system. As for file sharing through data space, the next article "enable data space: Allow Ubuntu 10.10 and XP hosts in VirtualBox virtual machines to communicate with each other" will detail.

Compare XP, Ubuntu is pretty.
