VirtualBox虛擬機CentOS安裝增強功能Guest Additions
沒有安裝Virtual Box增強功能Guest Additions的虛擬機操作很不方便，比如：
- 虛擬機的分辨率最大只有1024x768；
- 鼠標被虛擬機捕獲后要按右Ctrl鍵才能釋放，否則只能再虛擬機里移動；
- 剪貼板不能共享
安裝Guest Additions可以解決上述所有問題。
以CentOS 7.3虛擬機為例，如果安裝CentOS時沒有選擇Development Tools組，需要先安裝kernel-devel和gcc$ sudo yum install -y kernel-devel gcc
通過VirtualBox的 設備 | 安裝增強功能... 菜單可以加載VBoxGuestAdditions.iso，可以直接點擊Run安裝或者執行$ cd /run/media/centos/VBOXADDITIONS_5.1.22_115126$ sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
有時安裝會出錯

/var/log/VBoxGuestAdditions.log for details.
查詢log發現是找不到和Linux內核匹配的源文件$ cat /var/log/VBoxGuestAdditions.log
vboxadd.sh: failed: Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong.

查詢kernel-devel版本是3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64，而Linux內核版本是3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64，確實不一致。如果安裝CentOS時選擇了Development Tools組，kernel-devel版本和Linux內核版本是匹配的，則不會出現這個問題。$ rpm -qa | grep kernel-devel
kernel-devel-3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64
$ uname -r
3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64
可以使用下面兩個命令中的一個安裝和Linux內核版本匹配的kernel-devel$ sudo yum install -y "kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)"$ sudo yum install -y kernel-devel-3.10.0-514.el7
然后再次安裝Guest Additions成功$ cd /run/media/centos/VBOXADDITIONS_5.1.22_115126$ sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
