4. Installing Guest Additions and Network Configuration
Guest Additions are essential for host-guest integration features (screen resolution, clipboard sharing, etc.) and performance optimization.
4.1. Preparing the Guest Additions Installation Environment
In the VM window menu, click [Devices] > [Insert Guest Additions CD Image...]. Install the necessary packages using the following commands:
sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install perl gcc make kernel-headers kernel-devel -y
4.2. Running the Guest Additions Installation Script
Navigate to the mounted CD directory and run the installation script. (Reboot required)
cd /run/media/USERNAME/VBox_GAs_...
sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
reboot
Note: If you used Bridged Networking, use the ip a command after installation to check the assigned IP address. This IP address will be used for SSH access in the next step.
