Installing Ubuntu in VirtualBox

Tips:

  1. Memory Size: Set to more than 2GB (recommended)
  2. Virtual Hard Disk Size: At least 50GB (SDK requires large space)

  3. Do not upgrade Ubuntu online after installing Ubuntu 14.04 in the VM

Guest Additions (Enhancements)

Installing Guest Additions enables:

  • Shared clipboard (copy/paste between PC and VM)
  • Shared folders (map a host folder to the VM for easy file access)

These features greatly improve development efficiency.

Note: If the shared folder is a Windows folder, you may not be able to successfully download Tina SDK code into it. Avoid setting the SDK download directory inside a shared folder.

How to Install Guest Additions

Method 1: 1. In the VM window, go to the menu bar: Devices → Insert Guest Additions CD image... 2. The ISO (VBoxGuestAdditions.iso) will auto-mount in the VM's CD drive. 3. Click Run and follow the on-screen instructions.

Method 2: 1. Manually mount the CD drive in Linux. 2. Reference: Linux Mount CD Drive Tutorial (Chinese)

Setting Up Shared Folders

Permissions Fix: If you cannot access the shared folder due to permissions, run:

sudo usermod -aG vboxsf $(whoami)
# Replace $(whoami) with your Ubuntu username if needed
sudo usermod -aG vboxsf vb
reboot

root

su 
usermod -aG sudo vb

common error

  • Use VBoxVGA Display Controller (Fix for Older Ubuntu)
