Adding virtualbox guest additions

K

KenUnix

In trying to add the Virtualbox guest additions the system complains about running version 6.1.44 and
wants to go back to 6.1.32? Does that mean the guest additions are already there?

It is FreeBSD version 13.1

If they are there how can I activate it? I tried following some procedures but failed.

Is there a procedure already out there?

The host is running Virtualbox 7.0.8 under Ubuntu 22.04.

Thanks,
Ken
 
The "how to" section is not for asking how to do things. Thread moved to "Emulation and virtualization".

Show us the exact message.
 
It works. I broke it down to:
On the virtualbox host add a shared folder:
path to directory to share
mount point share-name (same as below)
automount Y
full access Y
Adding a share in GhostBSD 23.06.01 do once:
sudo edit /etc/rc.conf and add:
vboxguest_enable="YES"
vboxservice_enable="YES"
sudo edit /boot/loader.conf and add:
vboxvfs_load="YES"
then sudo make /mnt/share-name
reboot then when needed:
mount -t vboxvfs share-name /mnt/share-name
then when done: umount share-name
