I have installed the Mate desktop. Two shared folders ("stuff" and "pictures" were selected to mount automatically. They show up in the little icon in the system tray at the bottom, but are not being mounted in /media.
I ran the following command as described in the Vbox manual:
Then I re-installed Guest Additions as described below.[richard@Richard ~]$ sudo mount -t vboxsf stuff /media [sudo] password for root: /usr/bin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device [richard@Richard ~]$
I ran the commands: "/sbin/rcvboxadd quicksetup 5.0.8-1"Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing VirtualBox 6.0.5 Guest Additions for Linux........ VirtualBox Guest Additions installer Removing installed version 6.0.5 of VirtualBox Guest Additions... Copying additional installer modules ... Installing additional modules ...

and "/sbin/rcvboxadd quicksetup all"
as suggested above.
It seems to be asking for headers for kernel 5.0.8-1. This machine is running kernel 5.0.8-1, but the Arch pacman repositories don't list headers for 5.0.8-1. The latest they list is 5.0.7-1
What am I doing wrong?
