Absolutely recommend the install addon
- mouse middle wheel movement
- shared folders
- many more
If you installed the VM with a .iso file, e.g. ubuntu’s .iso from their official website http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop , you will need to
- go to file system, eject the virtual drive corresponding to this .iso
- then on your VM’s menu, Devices –> Install Guest Additions, the Guest Addition .iso should then show up in your file system as your new virtual drive
=> as if only one of either the ubuntu installation .iso or the VBoxGuesAddition.iso can be mounted as the virtual drive at a time.
should see the guest additions start installing and showing progress in a terminal
