Cannot get current virtualbox guest utils working

I have been able to get guest additions working on previous arch virtualbox guest installs, however I am having issues with getting guest additions working on a new install. I have followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … _Additions and I cannot seem to get the shared clipboard or display working as expected.

I am using newest version of VirtualBox:
VBoxManage --version
5.2.18r124319

and installing guest additions with pacman using the above instructions:
VBoxClient --version
5.2.18r123745

any suggestions?
Edit: not sure if it matters but I am running on a Mint 4.10.0-38-generic host

Re: Cannot get current virtualbox guest utils working

Disregard, It seemed to be an issue with refresh rate. When switching to full screen it takes a couple of seconds for the screen to actually expand.
