[Solved] How to share a folder

[socratis]

Am I missing something?

No, no, no... you're right on the money!


@'tlax38'
Why did you choose to skip over the first part of the error

Kernel headers not found for target kernel 4.19.0.6-amd64. Please install them and ...

and went straight to the second? After the "and" I mean...

... and execute /sbin/rcvboxadd setup

Don't you think that the first part is more important, especially if it a single sentence?


So, install the kernel headers asked of you. And because I feel a question coming (which you should be searching for if you want to learn), use the following command:

• 
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) kernel-devel-$(uname -r)

It seems like Kernel-readers can't be found:

I add my sources.list so you can tell which one is missing.

kernel-headers-$(uname -r)

It should be "linux-headers-$(uname -r)" instead.

[socratis]

It should be "linux-headers-$(uname -r)" instead.

I need to update my notes then, they're getting old. Thanks 'fth0'...

If you are to attach a picture online, please keep it as a PNG. JPEGs lose clarity and they're bigger than PNGs...

It doesn't seem to work either...

Please keep in mind that the Guest Additions error is telling you that something that should be in the Linux OS is not there. It is not part of Virtualbox for you to go find what is missing and get it.

Installing kernel headers and other maintenance of an OS are not in the scope of the Virtualbox forum. In other words, you'll need to web-search and forum-search on Linux sources for how to maintain and upgrade Linux. Once that is complete, then try installing Guest Additions.

I installed Debian 10 on Virtualbox.

Can you please tell me which exactly Debian 10 you installed, what options did you check? The link to the page that you downloaded the ISO from? Or even the ISO name/link itself? I want to replicate your setup. It seems we're running around circles here...
