This is within a VM on a WIndows 10 host using VirtualBox 6.0.4 (latest version).
I was pleasantly surprised to see that the virtualbox guest additions were already installed:
Code: Select all
[cstankevitz@localhost ~]$ dnf list installed | grep -i virtualbox
virtualbox-guest-additions.x86_64 6.0.4-2.fc29 @updates
But Auto-resize Guest Display is unavailable (implying that the guest additions are not installed):
(see attached image)
Virtualbox's "manually installed" guest additions discourage me from continuing because dnf already installed them:
Code: Select all
[cstankevitz@localhost VBox_GAs_6.0.4]$ sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 6.0.4 Guest Additions for Linux........
VirtualBox Guest Additions installer
This system appears to have a version of the VirtualBox Guest Additions
already installed. If it is part of the operating system and kept up-to-date,
there is most likely no need to replace it. If it is not up-to-date, you
should get a notification when you start the system. If you wish to replace
it with this version, please do not continue with this installation now, but
instead remove the current version first, following the instructions for the
operating system.
If your system simply has the remains of a version of the Additions you could
not remove you should probably continue now, and these will be removed during
installation.
Do you wish to continue? [yes or no]
Thanks,
Chris
