After my installation of CrunchBang in VirtualBox, some functions such as ``Auto-resize Guest Display'' and ``Shared Clipboard'' were not available.
The key is to install the ``Guest Additions''.
I tried some instructions found on Web and the steps are listed as follows:
To install the following packages
This was simple, just install them:apt-get install dkms build-essential linux-headers-generic
To mount the Guest Additions image
Actually this confused me and I'm not sure about every details. Here I just write down what I've done for your reference.The first thing I did was to insert the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso image via the GUI (I've selected the iso file before, so it appeared in the list automatically):
Then click the ``Insert Guest Additions CD image...'' or use the following command to mount the image:
mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdromNow we can find the ``VBoxLinuxAdditions.run'' script and run it:
And the Guest Additions should be installed. :-)
