1. Start up the virtual machine (VM) and let it start up fully.
   
   

2. First check that the necessary kernel files are installed:

   Code Block
   zypper search kernel-devel

   If not, install them with the command:

   Code Block
   sudo zypper install kernel-devel

   The installation needs to be done as the root user. This command will prompt for the root password 'metv1ew!'
   
   

3. With the virtual machine as the active window, select the 'Devices' menu and the 'Install guest additions CD image..
   
   
   
   A popup window should appear in the virtual machine showing the CD.
   
   
4. In the virtual machine, open a Terminal window from the openSUSE icon and 'Applications' menu
   
   
   

    

5. In the Terminal, change to the directory where the VBoxAdditions CD was mounted. This will be under the /run/media directory, followed by the username.

   Code Block
   title e.g.
   cd /run/media/openifs/VBOXADDITIONS_4.3.34_104062

   (older systems may use /var/run/media instead).
   
   

6. To start the installation of the Guest Additions, type the following in the Terminal:

   Code Block
   sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

   This will prompt for the root password, usually 'metv1ew!'

   Info
   The installation may report that Guest Additions is already installed and ask you to confirm.

   The installation only takes a few minutes.
   
   

7. Reboot the virtual machine for the changes to take effect.
