Installing Virtual Box Guest Additions in Manjaro i3 Edition

From your host Virtual Box Insert the Guest Additions CD Image.

As a Pre-Requisite Install the Kernel Header as my Linux kernel is 5.4 series and so Im installing by the below command

$sudo pacman -S linux54-headers

Now we need to mount the Virtualbox Guest Additions Image so Im creating a folder to mount

$ mkdir /opt/cdrom

#mount /dev/cdrom /opt/cdrom

#cd /opt/cdrom

#./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Now Reboot Mod+0 and press r to Reboot.

Let me know any tips/hacks in regard

 

 

Windows restarts while opening Virtual Box after installing Docker

I have faced this Issue that my windows 10 gets restarted while opening Virtual Box. Recently I have Installed docker and uninstalled it. But I was facing this Issue and then after searching I got the solution

Virtual Box Version : 6.1.2

To get VirtualBox running again, complete the following steps:

• Open the “old” Windows Control Panel -> Programs and Features
• On the left side choose “Turn Windows features on or off:
• Deselect “Hyper-V” , Containers and other options in the list of features:

Application Guard
Credential Guard
Device Guard
<any> * Guard
Containers
Hyper-V
Virtual Machine Platform
Windows Hypervisor Platform
Windows Sandbox
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

And to disable Hyper-V from starting the following command can be used:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

• Click “OK”, let Windows deinstall Hyper-V and reboot at end
• After reboot you have to reinstall/repair your installation of VirtualBox with the original installer!
• Reboot again and it should work
