To uninstall Guest Additions in Ubuntu, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by opening the Terminal. You can do this by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T or by searching for “Terminal” in the Unity Dash.
2. Once the Terminal is open, you need to navigate to the directory where the Guest Additions are installed. Usually, they are located in the “/opt” directory. You can change to this directory by running the following command:
“`
Cd /opt
“`
3. Now, list the contents of the directory using the `ls` command. Look for a folder named something like “VBoxGuestAdditions-X.X.X” (the X’s represent the version number).
4. Change to the specific Guest Additions folder by running the following command (replace X.X.X with the actual version number you found in the previous step):
“`
Cd VBoxGuestAdditions-X.X.X
“`
5. Inside the Guest Additions folder, there should be an uninstall script. Run the script as root by using the following command:
“`
Sudo ./uninstall.sh
“`
6. The uninstall script will remove the Guest Additions from your system. It might prompt you for your password, as it requires root privileges to perform the uninstallation.
7. Once the script finishes running, the Guest Additions should be uninstalled from your Ubuntu system.
It’s worth mentioning that after uninstalling the Guest Additions, some features provided by VirtualBox, such as shared folders and improved mouse integration, will no longer be available.
