VirtualBox Guest Additions

[gilvan]

As a begginer in linux, I would like to properly install VirtualBox Guest Additions.

I installed it using linux-kernel-sources-env and VBoxLinuxAdditions.
Additions work fine after installation. However, some necessary files are not persistent.

Does anybody know how to fix it?

I'm using TC 6.3 on VirtualBox 5.0.3 for Windows 10.
Installation process:

Install linux-kernel-sources-env via TC Apps, and run it via applications menu.
Insert VirtualBox Guest Additions CD via VirtualBox Devices menu, mount it via TC Terminal, and run VBoxLinuxAdditions:

~$ mount /mnt/sr0
~$ sudo /mnt/sr0/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Usage example:
~$ VBoxClient --clipboard

Hi gilvan
Welcome to the forum. I suggest you start by reading:
http://tinycorelinux.net/book.html
It's an easy read and well worth your time since it covers what makes Tinycore different from other Linuxs, including persistence.
If you have not done done so already, you should also check out the Wiki on building extensions:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:creating_extensions

Hello, Rich!
I really appreciate your reply and suggestion.

I have read some material related to persistence and extensions, including the book and wiki.
I think this problem is too complex for a beginner, since VirtualBox Guest Additions creates modules along with extensions.

I guess some experienced users might be trying to develop a self contained extension for TC 6.x.
Do you know about it?

Thank you very much!

Hi Gilvan!

There are a virtualbox-ose-modules on old Core, but the maintainer is no longer on it. You can try to load the extension in your core or you can ask in the extension request to someone update it.

Hi, Zendrael!
Thanks for the hint.

I loaded virtualbox-ose-additions-modules-3.0.3-tinycore.tcz, also all related TCZs for 4.x:
virtualbox-ose-additions.tcz
virtualbox-ose-locale.tcz
virtualbox-ose-modules-3.0.3-tinycore.tcz
virtualbox-ose.tcz

It fails running VBoxService:
VbglR3Init failed with rc=VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

Maybe we have to wait for an update.

Thank you!
