Since Apple only allows OS X to be legally installed on bare metal machines manufactured by Apple. There is no legitimate reason for a OS X Guest Additions. This is not related to Ubuntu. – user68186 Nov 8. It’s generally easiest to simply get the latest version of both VirtualBox and the VirtualBox Extension Pack. Note that if you are a Mac user running into VirtualBox kernel driver failures, you can typically resolve that with these instructions that are specific to modern versions of macOS like Catalina, Mojave, and Big Sur.

Hi all,
I am running Debian 6.0.3 Guest on Mac OsX Snow Leopard Host in VirtualBox 4.1.8.

Installing VirtualBox Guest Additions on Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine is an easy task. The Guest Additions will optimize the guest operating system for better performance and enhance usability. To find more information about the Guest Additions, visit the official VirtualBox Guest Additions documentation page.

Open virtualbox, click New button to create a new virtual machine. Input macOS high sierra or macOS mojave in the Name field, select Mac OS X in. Guest additions are not available for Mac OS X. You can get features like clipboard sync and shared folders by using VNC and SMB. Here's my answer on a similar question.

Virtualbox Macos Catalina Guest Additions

From VirtualBox 'Devices / Install Guest Additions ' menu I have managed to mount Guest Additions iso in Debian guest.
Yet, it did not autorun, and even on root account I could not start any shell script from this volume.
After that I just copied all files from mounted Guest Additions to tmp, changed script permission and finally run VBoxLinuxAddition.run script.
This script reported failure of some of its tasks, yet luckily for me installed display drivers in Debian 6.0.3 guest successfully.
Now I run Debian guest on Mac OsX Snow Leopard both in Auto-resize and Fullscreen mode.
Other 'Guest Additions' modules failed, for example 'Shared Folders' dose not work.
Is it a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Well, well…

I recently decided to play a bit with VirtualBox on Mac OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).

But from time-to-time I just want to quickly compile some (open) source code which is easily/readily available on Linux before trying it on OSX.

First I got VirtualBox for OSX and installed the .dmg package without problems.

Then I decided to have a look into Debian 6.0 (squeeze). I just took the “Small CDs” for amd64 with its 180MB.

I created a standard new Linux Debian 64 VirtualBox machine with standard configurations. Then I loaded the Debian .iso image into the virtual drive (click on the CD/DVD icon under Storage > IDE controller) and started the machine. Once again I followed the standard installation. The machine was connected to the internet and it actually downloaded some 1062 packages… Took some 40min to pull them down. At the end it asked to reboot and Debian was finally running.

The final touch is to install/setup the Guest Additions so that the Debian guest can reach the Mac OSX host directories. For that I went on the VirtualBox menu: Devices > Install Guest Additions. It mounts for you a virtual CD/DVD on Debian /media/cdrom.

Next I opened on Debian: Accessories > Root Terminal (You will need the root password).

Then I simply issued: # sh /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Virtualbox Guest Additions Mac Os X Host

The installation script removed the existing and added another kernel module into the Debian guest.

Next I just had to add a shared folder into the virtual machine (Devices > Shared folders…), pointing to a directory on the Mac OSX host. I also marked it as “Auto-mount” and “Make Permanent“. Then I rebooted the Debian virtual machine.

By then I could see a directory mounted in /media/sf_[name_of_shared] but I had no access to it. The final step is to add your [your_user_name] into the vboxsf group.

The fix is to launch again the Root Terminal (root again) and issue: # adduser [your_user_name] vboxsf

A final reboot on the guest and now you should be able to reach your shared folder….
