#14474 new enhancement
start VBoxClient inside virtualbox guest only
| Reported by: | Christian Hesse | Owned by: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component: | guest additions | Version: | VirtualBox 5.0.2 |
| Keywords: | Cc: | ||
| Guest type: | Linux | Host type: | all |
Description
The guest additions can be installed on systems that do not necessarily start as a virtualbox guest, for example (but not limited to) on live media (bootable CD/USB, PXE, ...). Check whether or not we can detect virtualization, exit gracefully if we detect non virtualbox system.

This is definitely a good idea although I wouldn't use systemd-detect-virt for this purpose. A few related changes are in the pipleline.
