Hello,

I tried Install VirtualBox Guest Additions in Fedora Rawhide, But it doesn't work, and my host system is Windows 10 Build 14955, and My VirtualBox version is 5.1.8.(kernel-devel and other is installed, but I get another problem)

Code: Select all

Failed to set up vboxadd, please check the log file
/var/log/VBoxGuestLinux.log for details.

and I also created ticket, but still no respond.

Code: Select all

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vboxadd.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxadd.service.
vboxadd.sh: failed: Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong.
vboxadd.sh: failed: Please check that you have gcc, make, the header files for your Linux kernel and possibly perl installed..
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vboxadd-service.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxadd-service.service.                                                                                                                    
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vboxadd-x11.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxadd-x11.service.

Could someone check the problem?

Thanks.

It's usually better and faster, if problems like this one (configuration) get first addressed in the forums, rather than in the bug tracker. More than 95% of the issues are resolved here, which keeps the developers focusing on the bug fixes and enhancements, and there is no need for another ticket to keep track of.

Your problem is stated as:

Did you install these packages? The typical installation should involve something like:

sudo yum install binutils gcc make kernel-headers kernel-devel

or you can use Fedora's package manager to install the above packages.

Okay, I'm go check.

i already installed.

OK, with a little bit of search, it seems like that there are two bug reports open, the one that you opened (#16116), which seems to be a duplicate of #16064: guest additions do not build with 4.9 kernel. The developers are aware of this, since it has been posted to the mailing list already.
