Cant Find to install VirtualBox-Ose-Additions

Hi All

I have installed virtualbox-ose and virtualbox-ose-additions from packages and configured virtualbox etc ... and it runs just fine.  But when i go to configure guest additions, i cant find where its been installed ...

I thought it was supposed to be here /usr/share/virtualbox/additions/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso  But its not ...

Any suggestions please ?

Many Thanks

Re: Cant Find to install VirtualBox-Ose-Additions

you should really read the description of the packages.

virtualbox-ose-additions is ment to be used ONLY in guest additions. get rid of it along with virtualbox-ose-additions-modules. it would cause problems when loading vboxdrv

for iso you need virtualbox-additions.

it doesn't need to be there. just try to load the iso from vbox and you'll see that is working

pacman -Ql virtualbox-additions
