Virtualbox 6 - vboxadd.service -> please use forums

Description

Hello, I use Virtualbox a lot because it gives me the freedom to try anything without worrying that I broke my OS. But that stopped ever since VB version 6. Since than my shared folders broke.

First of all this issue can be reproduces if the guest is Manjaro Linux and the Virtualbox version is at least v.6. It's the same if the host is Windows 7, 10 or Linux Manjaro. Also this problem does not occur if the guest is Linux Mint for example. From this I understand that the problem is in Manjaro but on forums I cannot find any solution. Including my post there : https://forum.manjaro.org/t/virtulbox-host-w10-guest-manjaro-kde-share-folders/78754/5

Until VB v.6, on a new guest I have always followed this 4 steps the share folders between host and guest.

  1. Install headers on guest
  2. Install Virtualbox from Guest Additions CD Image in guest
  3. include my user in the "vboxsf" group
  4. Restart

and voila ! I had acces to the Media folder into the guest

After v.6xx it only works if I try like this

  1. linux419-headers 4.19.28-1 and linux419-virtualbox-guest-modules 6.0.4-10
  2. Insert Guest Additions CD Image… → “autorun.sh”
  3. User Accounts → vboxsf
  4. Restart
  5. media → “Ownership on Active User&rdquo”
  6. Insert Guest Additions CD Image… → “autorun.sh” again !

After this, 99% work fine, except I get the 2 minutes waiting time when restarting the guest because of vboxadd.service. And if I disable the service, I cannot change the resolution from the guest, bigger than 800x600. But cliboard and shared folder are working.

Also I'm kinda still a newbie in linux world so I don't know what should I try next. Can you point me in the right direction maybe ?

This is not what the bug tracker is for. For question/discussions/help you should head to the VirtualBox forums.

It's usually better and faster, if issues get first addressed in the VirtualBox forums, a lot more eyes there. More than 95% of the issues are resolved in the forums, which keeps the developers focusing on the bug fixes and enhancements, and there is no need for another ticket to keep track of. For example, yours is most probably not a bug and someone from the developers has to deal with it and close it as "Invalid".

Plus a discussion and analysis on the bug tracker is going to help me, you, and potentially a future drive-by user or two. Not so in the forums, many more tend to benefit...

So, if you can, please open a new thread in the Linux Guests section of the forums. Please be sure to mention that you came from the bug tracker and include the ticket number.

I will close this for now. Please re-open it if seems like a bug after analysis on the forums.
