EOS Plasma on-line installation issues in Virtualbox

Following on from this topic

Since then I have twice tried a new install of KDE Plasma in a VM using the on-line installation process.
In both cases the installation runs fine and works in VMSVGA.
However for the purposes of accessing host folders, when I try to add my user to the vboxsf group it comes back that the group does not exist, and moreover the /media folder is not there to mount them in the first place. This is a complete change from how it worked a few days back.

Have you installed virtualbox-ext-oracle?

on the guest:
sudo pacman -S virtualbox-guest-utils
sudo systemctl enable vboxservice.service
→ reboot vm
sudo modprobe vboxsf
sudo usermod -aG vboxsf $USER
power off and add a shered folder.. in general it only needs to select the folder from host to be used and tag mount permanent in the popup on virtualbox gui..


Thank you - that worked and the /media folder appeared out of nowhere as well :grinning_face:
