We have installed the latest version of Ubuntu on VirtualBox and updated software/patches in this image. It is a free and open-source Linux OS based on Debian. Now mount either partition ( vol4 for instance) to /mnt via command: sudo mount vbox_sysdis/vol4 /mntįinally go to /mnt directory and there you are.Ubuntu desktop is one of the famous Linux versions for personal and professional use. To do so, run command sudo gedit /etc/nf and enable (remove # at its beginning) “user_allow_other” line.ģ.) As the previous picture shows, I have 5 disk partitions: vol0, vol1, …, vol4. NOTE: You may need to edit the “/etc/nf” to make the -o allow_root flag work. Then mount it via command ( remember to change the UUID to yours): vboximg-mount -i 3db5fd91-fd56-46af-a2d2-98cd62b05ea3 -o allow_root vbox_sysdisk.First create a folder as mount point, vbox_sysdisk for instance: mkdir vbox_sysdisk.And the uuid is: “3db5fd91-fd56-46af-a2d2-98cd62b05ea3”Ģ.) Next perform a FUSE mount of the virtual disk image:

In the case, I have all Guest OSes on single Disk Image (.vdi). With -list, it list all Disk Images as well as the UUID. Vboximg-mount is a utility to make VBox disk images available to the host. When it opens, run command: vboximg-mount -list Also UN-MOUNT the disk once the job done.ġ.) Firstly open terminal from system application launcher. Before getting started, make sure Guest OS is shutdown.
