I installed openSUSE 11.2 on Virtual Box 3.2 and managed to install the additions (require make, gcc, Linux kernel sources and Linux kernel symbol files).
Resizing the screen works so I assume the additions are installed correctly. There were no errors when installing them either.
However, Linux cannot see the network shares provided by Virtual Box. I created two shares for the VM in Virtual Box. The same two shares work in Windows VMs and used to be found by openSUSE 11.1 (and Virtual Box 3.1.x).
Any ideas why Linux wouldn't pick them up? It sees shares of other computers in my network including the host's normal shares.
openSUSE 11.2 on Virtual Box 3.2 shared folders don't work

As far as I know you never "see" them. Just mount them like:
mount -t vboxsf ShareNAme /mount/point
mount -t vboxsf ShareNAme /mount/point
Some say: "You learn as long as you live".
My way: "You live as long as you learn".

11.1 saw them in the "Network" folder of the file manager.baf wrote:As far as I know you never "see" them. Just mount them like:

I'll try mounting them manually.
