[Solved]VBox guest aditions

I have installed Arch on Virtualbox and I already have 1280x800 res, but I need 1440x900. When I mount those Guest aditions and press 'Install' - nothing happens. Can I somehow install it from console?

okey, all went smoothly until I need to type in console 'sh /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run' (as root). Then I get:

sh: /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run: No such file or directory

Have you mounted the VirtualBox Guest Additions iso? In the VB Menubar you have to press the [Install Guest Auditions] in the [Devices] Section.

Yes, I did all as wiki says, but still it shows that there ain't such file/directory.

I was curious and I open that .iso and there even wasn't such a VBoxLinuxAdditions.run. But there was VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64 and ..-x86.run. So I add to VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run and it worked! smile
