I have VirtualBox running on several server installations, always without any GUI, administering using the vboxmanage
commands.
I used to install from the Oracle PPA, but since the end of the two different versions of vbox, I've been installing from the Ubuntu repos. I've found the package for installing the guest additions iso, but never been aware of the extension packs being there.
I'm asking as the virtualbox version for 14.04 moved from 4.3.10 to 4.3.34 a little while back, so added a step for me running apt-get dist-upgrade
.
I know how to get hold of these from Oracle and install them manually, but is there another method, without using GUI? Are the extension packs anywhere in the Ubuntu repos?
