Guest Additions Install Fails Install without any error
by JockVSJock from LinuxQuestions.org on (#587GM)
Don't know why this won't install correctly the 1st time. Earlier this year did an install and it took a few times before it finally installed. Just re-running the same commands over.
Just did an install and no errors. Both vboxadd-install.log and vboxadd-setup.log.2 don't show any errors.
Checking modules shows the following
Code:vboxsf 81052 0
vboxguest 349038 0 vboxsf
Here are my notes on the steps that I took:
