 Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2015 12:01 pm Post subject: [Solved] VBox Gentoo Host, Gentoo Guest, Video not resizing |
 |
|
I run a Gentoo system in VirtualBox, hosted on my Gentoo system.
The VM is my experimental system, compiled almost exclusively with clang.
Since the latest VirtualBox 5.0.2, everything works fine except for graphics resizing and being told
| Code: | | VBoxCLient: Failed to connect to the VirtualBox kernel service, rc=VERR_ACCESS_DENIED |
Copy/Paste works, the mouse works, keyboard works, but the screen does not resize and I see these notifications.
I finally discovered that the user I was logging into was not a member of the group vboxguest.
Once I fixed that, all was well again!

I also found, later, that I was not running the VBoxClient.
I could put this in my .Xsession file, but I figured a more system wide setting would be better.
Add /etc/profile.d/VirtualboxGuest.sh
Make world read/executable
| Code: |
if [ -x /usr/bin/VBoxClient ]
then
VBoxClient --clipboard
VBoxClient --display
fi
