Hello,
I have problem installing VirtualBox Guest Additions. My host is 5.0.7-200.fc29.x86_64
And when I run the VGA installer on the guest system I get:
[erik@localhost VBox_GAs_6.0.4]$ sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 6.0.4 Guest Additions for Linux........
VirtualBox Guest Additions installer
Removing installed version 6.0.4 of VirtualBox Guest Additions...
Copying additional installer modules ...
Installing additional modules ...
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel
modules. This may take a while.
VirtualBox Guest Additions: To build modules for other installed kernels, run
VirtualBox Guest Additions: /sbin/rcvboxadd quicksetup <version>
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Building the modules for kernel
5.0.7-200.fc29.x86_64.
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Look at /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log to find out what
went wrong
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Running kernel modules will not be replaced until
the system is restarted
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Starting.
VirtualBox Guest Additions: modprobe vboxsf failed
[erik@localhost VBox_GAs_6.0.4]$
Perhaps someone on this list has overcome this problem and would explain what I did
wrong? The /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log was of no help.

Did you do this?
VirtualBox Guest Additions: modprobe vboxsf failed
You can try loading the kernel module yourself to see what the error
message is.
One likely cause is that you are using an EFI system with secure boot
enabled. In that case you either have to disable it or sign the kernel
module and add the key to the EFI table using mokutil.

I believe this is a VirtualBox problem. The setup log shows...

I believe this is a VirtualBox problem. The setup log shows...
That was why I suggested following the instructions to look at the log. :-)
But the secure boot issue might end up being involved later, so it's
good to keep in mind.

Which is why I posted mine. :-) :-)

I think the problem is the same. It is also reported on RH EL7 on the VirtualBox Forums.
In any event, it is fixed in the next version of Guest Additions.

Thanks for the answers. I said that the /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log was of no help because
I did not understand what I saw but comparing my list to Ed's shows that the problem
indeed is the same. So I guess I have to wait for the next version to surface.

You can just download the Guest Additions iso and mount/install it just like any other.
No need to wait.

No need to wait.
Thanks a lot. Did install it and now this problem was solved. However, a new problem
showed up: the screen auto resize did not work. Maybe I should get in contact with Oracle
about it. Hope they will listen.

Yes I did reboot but somewhat later I went into settings to see what the screen
resolution was. I tried to change it into something more resonable and then, lo and
behold, the screen did actually resize. And all is well.

Good, and FWIW, VirtualBox-6.0-6 was just released which contains the Guest Additions fix
and more.

Thanks. Is a build for 6.0.6 available similar to the testbuild for 6.0.x?
