[vbox-dev] USB mouse not working on VM4.3.10 Ubunto on Win7 Host

[Shahid]

Hi Frank,

Can you please help, I am not able to install Guest additions normally.
Below is what I have and tried.

Host Win 7
Installed Oracle VM4.3.10
Installed Ubunto 12.04 on vm

now tried installing Guest Addition like->Device->Insert Guest Additions CD
images..:  Nothing happen, then I tried from command line
to mount "sudo mount /media/cdrom" and again the above step, now I am
getting error:

"Unable to insert the virtual optical cd C:
Programfiles/../../VirtualboxGuestAdditions.iso into machine ..

Could not mount the media/drive 'C:/Programfiles../..VirtualBoxadditions.iso
(VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED)"

Then I tried from CLI: sudo apt-get install
birtusalbox-guest-additions-iso" was sucessful then I again tried to
install from Device->Insert.. as above
but getting same error as above


Can you please suggest a solution for this.

Thanks a lot in advance.
Shahid
