VirtualBox Shared Folders

[Jim McKinney]

My VirtualBox shared folders stopped working after a recent update. I'm not really sure if VB was updated or if it was something else. When I try to add a shared folder I get the "The VirtualBox Guest Additions do not appear to be available on this virtual machine [...] Insert Guest Additions CD image from the Devices menu."

So I tried that. I get the following error when I mount the GA CD and try to run the install script:

Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules.
This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules.
Please install the Linux kernel "header" files matching the current kernel for adding new hardware support to the system.
The distribution packages containing the headers are probably:

kernel-default-devel kernel-default-devel-4.4.104.39

 

I have searched the repositories for packages with similar names and have found nothing. Anyone have any tips? TIA!

Hi there, sorry for the slow reply. I believe this was a temporary problem with Tumbleweed. Did it get resolved yet?
