Beta 2 err msg installing guest additions -> guest system issue

Post by jrc55 »

Host Win10 1809
Guest Fedora 29 kde
Intel i7-6700
16gb on machine. 4gb allocated to guest

Imported a ova file and then set about installing the guest additions. During the exec of 'VBoxLinuxAdditions.run' Fedora threw this short message in a GUI notification pop-up ...
failed to get timestamp. No repomd data available - cannot get a timestamp

It did not stop the process and things seems ok afterwards. I'm writing this while in the guest.
So while it is not a showstopper it may help explain some other issue the guest addition code causes.

Thanks. Looking forward to a cute little VBox in my Christmas stocking. :)

Does not sound like anything relating to the Additions, so probably a (harmless) Fedora issue. I will "close" this topic as such if you don't mind.

Glad it's a non-issue. Feel free to close.

Thanks for you time.
