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.
i have installed
pacman -S virtualbox virtualbox-guest-iso virtualbox-host-dkms
and
from AUR
virtualbox-ext-oracle

vboxnetadp 28672 0
vboxdrv 552960 2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt
and virtualbox with Windows 7 works out of box absolutely perfect
if you install same packages as i have, it must works for you too!
