*EDIT* Thanks to Dexter Kane, I read over the steps again and again and omitted one typo, which fixed it. Let this be a lesson to pay very good attention to directions.
Hi all
A few months ago I installed virtual box and decided to try out a Linux machine (Debain, to be exact.)
First of all, I am not very familiar with anything Linux and I will admit it. I'm pretty tech savvy and I know my way around some deep crevices of Windows but I'm a lost child in a grocery store for Linux.
So after a spell of installing just the basics and seeing a console window that was about as useful to me as the concept of a brick, I reinstalled the OS and got GNOME.
My problem was that I could not get the effing guest additions to install. I tried everything I found online in forums and finally gave up.
I recently had a bout of inspiration to give Linux another try, but this time I got KDE.
I still have the same problem.
Whenever I try to run /media/cdrom0/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run as sudo It says "no such file or directory"
I even tried copying all the files to my documents and running the file by clicking it but it brings up a console window stating that it needs administrator privileges.
I also tried allowing root login for kde (which I knew was a baaddd idea but it was a virtual machine and I was desperate so whatever) but apparently /kdm/kdmrc is "no such file or directory"
For god sakes, I even tried visudo (which got me nowhere) and then kdesudo, which still said no effing file or directory.
I'm starting to ragequit this and I really don't want to because I want to get comfortable with Linux for a plethora or reasons, but I need those guest additions installed!
Okay rant over, sorry. Does anyone else have an idea? I can't really move forward without fixing this problem so any help would be deeply deeply appreciated.
Thanks in advance, ~Tas.
