On my previous tutorial, I've show you how to install a headless VirtualBox on a ClearOS 6.3. Now, on this tutorial, I will show you how to install the extension pack. This extension pack is required to enable the remote administration of Virtualbox using RDP or phpvirtualbox.
cd /tmp
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.4/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.4-81684.vbox-extpack
VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.4-81684.vbox-extpack
Make sure you execute the command above using root privilege.
This tutorial will show you how to install VirtualBox on a ClearOS 6.3 system. Virtualbox can be easily installed on ClearOS 6.3 without a problem. But, you will only see the headless (command mode) of Virtualbox instead of ordinary Virtualbox GUI.
After ClearOS 6.3 is installed and work properly, you can start installing Virtualbox. I assume you have a good internet connection to do this tutorial. This is the modified version of the original tutorial shown on Howtofoge.com. http://www.howtoforge.com/vboxheadless-running-virtual-machines-with-virtualbox-4.1-on-a-headless-centos-6.2-server
Open Terminal and follow these steps below.
A. Create new admin user
groupadd admin
useradd -d /home/admin -m -g admin -s /bin/bash admin
B. Install Virtualbox
yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
yum install SDL kernel-devel kernel-headers dkms
In my case, I still need to install gcc manually so I add this command

I just read a news on Softpedia about the surprising Ubuntu Tweak development stop. I was thinking why Ubuntu Tweak development stops mysteriously. Is it because of further funding problems? There are no clear information left by the developer before he made this decision but here is the last word we can read from the official blog.
“You may ask why I made this decision to stop the development of Ubuntu Tweak, I may write 10,000 words to describe how I start this project, how I feel happy from this project, how I feel bad from this project…But I just want to say: If making free software is not free any more, why still doing this?” stated the developer on his blog.
I regret this decision personally but this is his decision. He build this project from zero until now. He felt it was not worth anymore to continue the project. So, thank you and good luck for you, Ubuntu Tweak developer.

The guest additions is installed without problems but at the end of the message, I got a confirmation like this:
Unknown version of X window system installed. Not installing X window system driver
I installed guest additions on Kubuntu using the following method. Did I miss something here?.
1. Open Terminal and install build-essential
sudo apt-get install build-essential module-assistant
sudo m-a prepare;
2. Now mount the Virtualbox Guest Additions. Go to Devices >> Install Guest Additions. Open Dolphin and open the mounted virtualbox guest additions medium. See illustration below.
3. Now, click autorun.sh and provide your root password to continue.
Maybe I need to wait until the new version of Virtualbox is released.
