I've been having this problem where I can't install the Guest Additions, because it says it failed.
I've been trying things like "csrutil disable" and the master disable thing but nothing worked and if I try to sudo mount the cd it says permission denied.
Does anyone have a solution? I saw someone hot got their Guest Additions work on Monterey, maybe he knows.

Re: VBoxDarwinAdditions won't install on Monterey
Do you have a macOS Monterey Guest VM?
The Guest Additions are designed to be installed in your guest VM, not in your host (i.e. the physical system). It sounds as though you are trying to install them in your host.

Not sure what you base that on?Cris_23 wrote:Also if i'm not wrong there is still no GAs for Monterey!
There are no official GAs for any MacOS version, but the devs snuck out undocumented GAs a few versions back. One of the former moderators (Socratis) was a Mac user and kept notes on what GAs worked where, unfortunately Socratis passed away in April 2020 and no-one else has maintained that list.

Looks like a VB log is needed to see if the host is okay.

Another? The undocumented MacOS GAs have never included graphics drivers, so I doubt that any such kext exists. Please review the sticky about which MacOS GA features are working. Basically it seems to be only low level guest communications, and copy/paste for some reason.emiesteban wrote:we can obtain another kext for use the 3d video card?
