How can I install the latest version via command line? || How can I install a version that supports Unity 3D?Ĭurrently using Ubuntu 14.04 and Virtual 5.1.18 but experienced this on many other setups as well. What is the difference if any between these packages? I also understand that these packages are different as the iso is shipped by Oracle and the ones installed via command line are shipped by Ubuntu but in most threads they are treated as if they were the same. Via the Oracle iso file version 5.1.18 is installed. (For the record I went through all other recommendation to make it work such as this and that which include allocating more VRAM, enabling 3D acceleration in VirtualBox, etc.) This can be verified by the following command: /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p This way Unity 3D is not supported which causes lagging.

However this seem to install version 4.3.36. Different advice here, here, here, here, here and here and pretty much everywhere. As I understand VirtualBox Guest Additions can be installed via command line as: apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) virtualbox-guest-x11Īlthough there seems to be differences of opinion about what exactly is to be installed but my understanding is that these are the necessary and sufficient components.
