<p dir="ltr">Try the virtmanager. It's a very decent gui frontend for kvm. I've not tried it with win8 (shudder) but I did have a solid win7 enterprise a few years back at a prior job using it.</p>

<p dir="ltr">After all the security issues with Linux Mint, I decided to try Fedora again and I like it a lot - other versions did not like my video card and I did not feel like compiling drivers for every kernel change. <br>
My problem is that I installed VB 64 bit, installed Winders 8.1 64 bit and everything works fine except for Guest Additions. It says it installed correctly but the functions it is supposed to enable are all greyed out. For instance, Seamless mode is disabled amongst many other things. <br>
The VB site info seems to be outdated and Google gives answers that are all over the place. <br>
Does anybody have any clues on what may be happening? </p>
