Virtualbox no longer detects system theme

https://bbs.archlinux.org – Um, virtualbox-guest-additions, yes...A quick "pacman -Qi virtualbox" indicates that it's Qt-based. Assuming you didn't install virtualbox-bin from the AUR (which is the Oracle-compiled version, only kept for comparison against the one in the official repos), it should follow whatever theme you chose. If not, run:$ qtconfigAnd set it to "GTK+". DSpider https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=28388 2012-09-20T20:42:23Z (HowTos)

Then you haven't installed the system yet... There is no "/etc/modules-load.d/", yet.Hmmm...

Are you sure that you ran those commands in the guest OS (and not on the host OS) ? After all, they're called guest additions. Because it's easy to misinterpret if both the guest and the host are Arch Linux.Try adding more video RAM. The default is 12 MB.If it's GNOME or KDE, you probably need around 128 MB.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.The title is a bit misleading. Is the root read-only, or is useradd/pacman the problem (which both are in the "Install" section, not "Extra") ?You didn't remove "ro" from syslinux.cfg, did you? Or do you use GRUB?Post your fstab.

It's true that the virtual machine uses different (emulated) hardware, but like I said, "dhcpcd" runs automatically. So there's no need to bring up any interface.Cosmosn, if the issues is now clear, please mark the topic as solved (by editing the first post).

VirtualBox 4.2 Guest Additions 33 weeks 2 days ago

Can't say I use virtualbox for anything too exciting - and I have never even checked for a wiki page...Setup goes like this for me:1. install virtualbox from community repo# pacman -Syy virtualbox2. Add vboxdrv to modules (only has to be done once) and load module# tee /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf <<< "vboxdrv"

# modprobe vboxdrv3.

Install faenza-icon-theme from the AUR (which I think is by far the most popular icon theme pack) and then study the contents of the "/usr/share/icons/Faenza/" folder.
