the current development version of 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) is
using Linux kernel version 5.5, we do not support the 5.5 Linux kernel yet
so GAs won't work/compile inside the 20.04 guest at all.

For progress, you can keep an eye on:
#19145  linux: kernel 5.5-rc1/rc2 - we need changes

Setup: VB vm runing on Solaris host;
VM running ubuntu 20.04 with zfs on root

Created new vm with VB-version-6.0.14 installed on a Solaris like host
using the pkg tools.

The vm is ubuntu 20.04 but with zfs on root that I finally got to work.

But not so fast, having trouble getting  X operating.

I want to install the guest additions, and the ISO appeared in the
virtual disk drive.  But I can't see a way to access it.

Now the vm tools give a messaage about being unable to mount Gest
Additions.

Message: from an attempt to mount GA from Device drop down

Could not mount the media/drive '/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso'
   (VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED).

  Result Code:
  NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
  Component:
  ConsoleWrap
  Interface:
  IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}
  Callee:
  IMachine {5047460a-265d-4538-b23e-ddba5fb84976}

There is nothing happening at /media.  and I've forgotten all I ever
new about creating a cdrom and mounting from the command line.

Can anyone help with this?
