In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox and guest additions, L....:
So as I read this, I recalled installing GA using pkgadd. So I looked in
my VM and I find a /usr/sbin/pkgadd command.
OI has support for the older Solaris packages, but the newer IPS-style
packages are preferred.
You installed the guest additions from Oracle, which are packaged in
the older format. Until about the last 3 months, those were the only
guest additions available for OI.
Thanks to Michal, Alexander, and probably others, OI now has a package
in IPS format for the guest additions, installable directly from the
openindiana.org repo.
If you decide to switch to the OI package for
system/virtualbox/virtualbox-additions , be sure you uninstall the SVR4
format guest additions package first.
