Installation package that understands only systemd on OpenRC system

I selected OpenRC. I recenly installed a package, virtualbox-guest-utils, and it install services to /lib/systemd/system/. These services are not in /etc/init.d/

Would these services  start? How can I check if they do? I tried rc-update show -v and the serviecs are not listed.

our virtualbox-guest-utils contains no systemd services. archlinux's virtualbox-guest-utils contains  /usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxdrmclient.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxservice.service. This service works only with systemd. In artixlinux this services will not start. You can start it manually, or write a script for openrc. I don't know if these scripts for openrc exists, but probably not, because virtualbox with virtualbox-host-dkms works on artixlinux for the vast majority without problems.

Thanks for all you help!

I also do not know why  VirtualBox's Shared Folder does not work for me.  Other features, like clipboard works.

I re-install using artic-cinnamon-openrc-20201207-x86+64.iso.  Upon completion, I ran the below, and Share Folder is still not working...

sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S virtualbox-guest-utils virtualboc-guest-modules-artix

No need to re-install the entire system over such trivial matters... Windows or Linux guest OS?

Sometimes you need the right version of virtualbox utils to work correctly.
