GuestAdditions breaks VoidLinux guest

Post by eightwt »

I have tried to install VoidLinux on a LinuxMint host with mixed success. Before installing GuestAdditions the guest would boot just fine. When I installed GA I would get a sea of client error messages all over the screen even before the system booted fully. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that Void Linux uses runit instead of systemd. Can anyone confirm this?

I'm using the latest versions of both vbox and GA on my system.

I'm unaware of any version of VirtualBox called "latest version". Please be specific.

Please provide a VM log file. Make sure the VM is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.
