How to use NVIDIA GeForce M310 on Ubuntu 12.10 running as guest in Virtualbox?

http://askubuntu.com – Last couple of weeks played around with Ubuntu 12.10. This is running as a guest on Virtualbox hosted at Windows 7. There have been some challenges with the Unity 3D stuff. Particular due to not supporting X11 release 1.13 till very recently. Since today we are able to download Virtualbox version 4.2.2 which has through guest additions also support for X11 release 1.13. SO far great work everybody. Since Unity now only runs in 3D mode it would be nice to access the graphics card directly from Virtualbox. lshw -c display shows: VGA compatible controller; product: VirtualBox Graphics Adapter.

This tutorial will guide you to install Guest Additions in Kubuntu 10.04. I was installed Kubuntu 10.04 on my Windows 7 via Virtualbox. So far everything is running well. After all, I need to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions on my Kubuntu 10.04 in order to get full screen resolution and other benefits.

I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 Guest on Ubuntu 12.04 Host using VirtualBox. Everything is from repository and no direct install. When I install the guest additions, the below error is shown in the console. Before running the command I mapped the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso in the Guest.

Fairly new to Vagrant, so bear with me if I don't understand the process.

I downloaded a CentOS box off http://www.vagrantbox.es/

Started it up running VirtualBox 4.2.4 and got this message:

[default] The guest additions on this VM do not match the install version of VirtualBox! This may cause things such as forwarded ports, shared folders, and more to not work properly.

Hello,

I have recently started playing with ubuntu 12.10 in as a guest image in VirtualBox.

OSX is my host OS

I have windows xp and Ubuntu 10.10 on guest OS. They both work great. When I eject USB flash drive from host OS, it appears in windows guest OS but it does not appear in Ubuntu Guest OS.

I never run both guest OS at the same time. its always either or.

I am running, VM virtualbox 4.1.10 and installed latest guest additions and also installed VM virtualbox extension pack.

After installing Linux Mint 9 Isadora under my Windows XP host, my next step is installing the VirtualBox Guest Addition in order to get more comfort when using Linux Mint under VirtualBox. Here I will show you how to install VirtualBox Guest Additions in Linux Mint 9.
