I am using openSUSE 11.0 guest in Ubuntu 9.10 host on Virtual Box. When I try to install Guest-Additions it doesn't really work as expected, the screen is not sized to fit the correct resolution, seamless working between 2 OS doesn't happen !

Has anyone tried installing Guest-Additions in openSUSE ?

UPDATE : Tried the Guest-Additions after fully updating openSUSE 11.0, it still doesn't works

UPDATE : Tried with OpenSUSE 11.2, it gets stuck in Virtual Box. In general OpenSUSE doesn't work with Virtual Box.

  • I would try the newest stable openSUSE & VirtualBox first. But yes, I have gotten it to work on a Windows host. Apr 21, 2010 at 5:36

Does it say successfully installed and so?
(Maybe you should go with VMWare Player.. know this is a workaround, sorry.)

  • @Shiki : Yes it does, but then it behaves somewhat strangely. Will give it a try on VMWare (though I hate working with vmx images).

  • @Arkapravo: strange == normal I guess. :) VirtualBox had some strange problem here also. Some people say VMWare , some says Parallels. Beats me which one would be better. I prefer VMWare (Workstation 7.1).

  • @Shiki : If it is so, then may be if I can over come this vmx hatred, I will try to use OpenSUSE on VMWare Player !

  • @Arkapravo: Get the CD, install it like you would on a physical machine. Maybe you can get images but those are for try out not for permanent installation. Try this: thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware or easyvmx.com (but in the latest Player, you can create vmx for yourself.)
