Description
VirtualBoc>Devices>"Install Guest Additions" will not install unless user is logged in and autoplay is on.
Otherwise, this menu item will only "Mount Guest Additions" and install has to be done manually.
Having not done this for some time and taken a while to figure out what was going wrong, I think the menu label is misleading and should be renamed to properly represent what happens.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
The help text of this menu item has a bit more text saying that the medium is mounted. And the user manual explains this as well. I think it's quite normal that a user must be logged in to install something in the guest. I know, the text of the menu item is not ideal but a text "mount the Guest Additions .iso" is also not 100% correct.
