VirtualBox shared folders

Post by hitesh » 2019/03/12 09:52:29

I am running CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) within Virtual Box Version 6.0.4 r128413 (Qt5.6.2)

I updated kernel to latest version

Code: Select all

uname -sr
Linux 5.0.1-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64

ls -la /usr/src/kernels
total 12
drwxr-xr-x.  5 root root  105 Mar 11 09:07 .
drwxr-xr-x.  4 root root   34 Mar 11 16:37 ..
drwxr-xr-x. 22 root root 4096 Mar  8 15:30 3.10.0-957.5.1.el7.x86_64
drwxr-xr-x. 23 root root 4096 Mar  8 11:36 5.0.0-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64
drwxr-xr-x. 23 root root 4096 Mar 11 09:07 5.0.1-1re.el7.elrepo.x86_64
So the issue is with setting up guest additions CD image, the following error in /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log . Functionality like copy clipboard works, but the shared folders are not working anymore. Interesting that shared folders work on the old kernel version still.

Code: Select all

This appears to be a VirtualBox problem.

We don't support the ELRepo kernels here though several of my fellow moderators actually run it. Is there a reason why you think you need such a recent kernel? The CentOS one works fine, especially if you wait for the next one that's about to come out which has a mouse bug with vbox fixed.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Hi Trevor

Yes on the 3.0 kernel I am having a strange issue with unresponsiveness, i.e. I cannot close windows or click on any of the buttons in the menu bars. For example terminal or firefox. I think it is more prevalent when I have more than one window open.

This is resolved when updating the kernel.

This could be the mouse bug you are referring to?

If the problem is that nothing responds to mouse clicks, then yes.

Yes that would be it. When is the next kernel being released?
