Access to the existing Shared Folder also is no longer functional. This 'bug' can likely be closed as not valid. When I launched my VM today, it informed me that there was a newer version of the Guest Addtions (5.0.16) which matches the version of VirtualBox I'm running. Downloaded and installed the updated version and rebooted the VM. Everything works (again) as it is supposed to. |
Created attachment 206751 [details] xvboxadd-install.log Kernel came in with a dist-upgrade this evening, March 3, 2016. I have dkms installed. When the kernel was installed and I rebooted, the VM window size was reset to 640x480 and cannot be resized. System Settings | Display Configuration also no longer has any screen resolutions to choose from; just 640x480. I re-installed VirtualBox Guest Additions 5.0.0 and this is the output: Verifying archive integrity... All good Uncompressing VirtualBox 5.0.0 Guest Additions for Linux...........
