Oracle VBOX VirtualBox Extension Pack does not install the GuestAdditions on the 5.1.20 extpack

Post by gwillard »

Where are all the VB experts, I installed the most current version of VB with the ext pack and it did not create a vboxusers group and for some reason in the forum when someone ask about the same problem, the so call experts do not fully answer the question WHY. I have been trying to get an answer for this ? for months now.



I using a VBOX on a iMac with the version of 5.1.22 and when i add the Oracle VirtualBox Extension Pack it did not install the GuestAdditions of the 5.1.22 extpack under the /opt dir. After the upgrade of VB to 5.1.22.r115126(Qt5.6.2) and the install of the GuestAdditions of the 5.1.22 extpack the group of vboxsf does not exist, WHY and how do i fix it, I can not mount any shared DIr's now, I Guess OS is Oracle Linux 6.5

Could you please rephrase the problem? With shorter sentences if you can please? I'm not sure what you're trying to describe.
