Hello everyone, I have a problem to load the kernelmodule to share a folder
VBoxManage --version
4.3.26r98988
My Host Kernel:
Linux myServer 3.13.0-46-generic #79-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 10 20:06:50 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Try the normal way:
sudo insmod vboxsf
insmod: ERROR: could not load module vboxsf: No such file or directory
sudo modprobe -a vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxguest': No such device
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxsf': No such device
And the direct way:
sudo insmod /lib/modules/3.13.0-46-generic/updates/dkms/vboxsf.ko
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /lib/modules/3.13.0-46-generic/updates/dkms/vboxsf.ko: Unknown symbol in module
I found nothing usefull sofar maybe someone can help me and can tell me whats wrong with the module
########################
Solution: Sorry I am new at virtualbox
It was only a problem of the right VBoxGuestAdditions_4.3.16,iso. and has nothing to do with the host where I made my experiments
I used before not compilable 4.3.10... maybe I read the wrong post.
Which VBoxGuestAdditions should be used with the virtualbox version x.y ? or with 4.3.26r98988
IN VM:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom
sudo /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
modprobe -a vboxguest vboxsf vboxvid
sudo mount -t viboxsf <my_shared_path_on_guest// ~/<myshared_path_on_host>
cd /media/sf_shared/

I'm not sure I've ever seen this "normal" way before. Have you tried doing it the VirtuaBox's normal way? As it is described in Chapter 4.2.2. Guest Additions for Linux.PowerPenguine wrote:Try the normal way:
