[Solved] How can I reinstall from command prompt vboxvideo and vboxmouse?

[joejac]

Hello,
Sorry but I made a big mistake, I was desperate working with my LXDE VM without been able to switch to seamless mode, and following some forum topics I uninstalled from Synaptic the Guest Additions, but I also uninstalled these other 2 files:
     X11-driver-input-vboxmouse
     X11-driver-video-vboxvideo

I upgraded VirtualBox in the Host and when restarting the LXDE Guest I got:

"Failed to start de X server (your graphical interface) It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?
    Log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log  
    config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    confir directory: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
    Failed to load module vboxvideo
    no devices detected"

And now my LXDE VM goes directly to command prompt, that is terrible for me because I only use Linux via GUI.

So I guess I have to reinstall,
     X11-driver-input-vboxmouse
     X11-driver-video-vboxvideo

But from the command line I do not have Synaptic available and with Google I have not found a way to do it, so

How can I install those files and if I have to do any other maintenance task in order to have my VM back to normal?

My last VM backup is one week old and I have many new files in the VM.

Thanks for your appreciated help.

Log in as root.

Make sure you're updated, first

Code: [Select]

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

Install your missing items

Code: [Select]

apt-get install X11-driver-input-vboxmouse X11-driver-video-vboxvideo

Try loading the GUI

Code: [Select]

/etc/init.d/dm restart

If that doesn't work, re-configure X from the console

Code: [Select]

XFdrake

This is off the top of my head, so if you have any questions, ask away!

Great pags, it worked!  

In the repos the correct name is x11...., my mistake again.
I found this useful link:

To find a package: apt-cache search {package-name}

Thanks a lot
