Virtualbox

Guest Additions

Guest additions seem to be a necessary evil to get the clock syncing. Which version to install? Seems that the apt way is working best.

• In Ubuntu you can use apt:

sudo apt-get install dkms
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso
# check the status:
sudo service virtualbox-guest-utils status
# DO NOT INSTALL ntp!
sudo apt remove ntp

• You can mount /dev/cdrom to get the version that came with the Windows host install.

su -
mount /mnt/cdrom /mnt/guestiness
cd /mnt/guestiness/
./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
