build modules for Virtualbox 4.2 guest

view story
linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I went ahead and built the modules from guestadditions iso and so far it is all good.I wanted to boot to run level 3 because of video module but for some reason passing '3' to the kernel command line does nothing. Seems like it used to work, not sure what I've done that would change it.Anyway, Virtualbox 4.2 has some cool new features. yug https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=63529 2012-09-15T13:35:06Z (HowTos)

Hi and welcome to the forum.https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … nux_guestsIn the VM (VM = virtual machine), run:# pacman -S virtualbox-archlinux-additions # nano /etc/modules-load.d/vbox.conf <add the modules according to the wiki and save with Ctrl+X> # rebootThen add it from Devices or from Settings.

It's 1 pm in China Thanks!Your way works.ewaller wrote:It is getting late here, so maybe it is just me... but I cannot figure out what you are trying to do.Is the Archlinux you are working with in a virtual machine?  If so, you want to install virtualbox-archlinux-modules.

Use:# pacman -Syu # pacman -S virtualbox-guest-additionsOr, same thing:# pacman -Syu virtualbox-guest-additionsIt was renamed recently.

No, if you have the modules you don't have to recompile because you have the modules. This if you use the stock kernel from the repo.Edit: *rats, a little too slow*
