Thanks for the guidance. What I got is vboxsf.ko.xz in /usr/lib/modules/5.5.10-artix1-1/extramodules. Not sure what to do with it.

I do have virtualbox-guest-modules-artix 6.1.4-8 confirm via pacman -Qs.

Well, the module is there. Why don't you modprobe it?

I manually started the services. I did a reboot and confirm these are running. Sill, Shared Folder is not working. Also, changing of screen rsoloution does not auto-adj. The good news is, shared clipboard is working.

Code: [Select]

leon-virtualbox:[leon]:~$ !lsm
lsmod | grep vbox
vboxnetflt             32768  0
vboxnetadp             28672  0
vboxdrv               528384  2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt
vboxguest              49152  3

Happy New Year!

I am unable to see the Shared Folder in the file manager. If I change the size of the vb windows, Artix screen size does not change. Shared clipboard is, however, working.

Is the attached you are looking for?
