Description
When clicked "Devices -> Insert Guest Additions CD Image..." it starts downloading the Guest Additions image and when the download is at about cca. 80% it always fails with the following error:
The network operation failed with the following error: During network request: Unknown reason.
Which is really not helpful error. I can download the Guest Additions by hand and manually install it. My network is working OK. Also VirtualBox strace didn't reveal anything suspicious.
It seems this problem has been already reported in various downstream bug trackers across distributions.
I am able to reproduce this problem on Fedora 30 host, RPMFusion VirtualBox package: VirtualBox-6.0.10-1.fc30.x86_64 The guest is Windows 10 Home 32 bit, but it doesn't seems this is important for the reproducer.
Replying to yardas:
It looks like you're using the RPMFusion fork version of VirtualBox. You can either ask in their forums/channels for help, or completely remove/uninstall/delete/purge their version and install the official version from the Linux Downloads section of VirtualBox.
The official VirtualBox comes with the Guest Additions ISO bundled, there's no need to download it separately.
