I installed Remix OS on a Virtual Box VM, but is it possibe to install Virtual Box Guest Additions on the VM?

[hara...@gmail.com]

I installed Remix OS 2 Beta 04/20/2016 on a Virtual Box VM. As Virtual Box offers the installation of Guest Additions for Linux Guests, I asked myself if it is possible to install Guest Additions for Remix OS, too.

It would be very nice to have that, because Guest Additions allows simpler data transfer between guest and host system by clipboard or shared folders. Furthermore it adds better graphics support, 2d/3d acceleration, and better mouse integration.

Can anyone help me?

Hi,

As you can see in my screenshot, there are only packages for GNU/Linux, Mac OS and Windows installer in VirtualBox Guest Addition iso file. So it's not posible to install it on Remix OS/Android.

Please have a look into the manual at http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.0.20/UserManual.pdf. In Section "4.2.2 Guest Additions for Linux" is described that Guest Additions are supported for Oracle Linux, Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE and openSUSE, as well as Ubuntu. On the following pages is also described how to install it on Mandrake Linux, CentOS, and Debian. I am really not an expert in Linux, but I think that all these Linux distributions cannot be summarized as GNU/Linux. Of course, Remix OS is not a supported Linux distribution, but it is an Android distribution, and I believe that Android is based on a kind of Linux distribution (though I am not an Android expert, too). Therefore I have the hope, that there exists a way to make Guest additions run under Remix OS.

Those are all GNU/Linux I believe; if they are open-sourced they're GNU...

Android is ART(Dalvik)/Linux

and for completion sake, OSX is Unix/Mach
