Known Issues Mac OS X guests: VirtualBox does not provide Guest Additions for Mac OS X at this time snip From the content of this, I wouldnt hold out for such support in VirtualBox any time soon. VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware, targeted at server, desktop and embedded use.For a thorough introduction to virtualization and VirtualBox. And use the ISO that came with Virtualbox t o install the GAs. From Virtualbox Manual : Chapter 14: 14.2. But having the GAs be ahead of the main VB, that could go pear-shaped soon.Īs an example, when the GAs were causing shared folder issues recently, the devs didn't put out just new GAs, they put out a whole test-build of the entire Virtualbox program, GAs included.ĭon't allow installing of new GAs without installing the matching version of Virtualbox. Allowing the GAs to fall behind the main VB version isn't bad for a while. If you change the GAs to a newer version with different capabilities, the host Virtualbox software won't know what the GAs are doing and problems will develop. But actually it’s not about Mac OS and all the steps will be the same for Windows and Linux hosts too. As the developers update capabilities they put these capabilities in both the main Virtualbox and the GAs ISO. In this article I’ll try to get into all (okay, maybe not all) possible troubles related to using a VirtualBox guest-machine with Linux, running on a Mac OS (High Sierra, 10.13) host. Windows 10 build 10586 (32/64-bit) Works, with Additions. Software that has to work with partner software has to know what the partner is doing. To get a list of commercially supported guest operating systems of VirtualBox, please follow this link. It is not good to go downloading GAs besides the version that comes with the Virtualbox installer.
