Enable to build shared folders module with guest addition => fixed in svn

[bdu]

Error occured when building the guest addition 7.0.8 for Centos Stream 9 with kernel 5.14.0-299.el9.x86_64. The problem seems to be ralated to the shared folders support module. The shared folders are visible under /media but are empty. The general features such as clipboard are working properly though. Previous versions of virtual box and kernels are working fine. The problem appeared with version 7.0.6 and kernel 5.14.0-295.el9.x86_64 also.

Hi bdu,

This issue should be fixed on development branch. Could you please give it a try to the Guest Additions from the "Latest 7.0.x test builds" (r156986+) at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds?

Hi galitsyn,

I tried to install the latest 7.0.9.156993 version from test build but unfortunatly there is an error about the win32api which is the first time I got this type of issue. After installing python 3.11.3, I tried to install pywin32 extension but I always got the same error :

WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'ProtocolError('Connection aborted.', ConnectionResetError(10054, 'Une connexion existante a dû être fermée par l’hôte distant', None, 10054, None))': /simple/pywin32/

I know that it's not related to the installation of VirtualBox but do you have any idea of what I should do. I've always been able to install virtualBox before even without python installed !?

Hi bdu,

I think you need to install official VirtualBox 7.0.8 host package from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and only update Guest Additions by inserting https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VBoxGuestAdditions_7.0.9-XXX.iso (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds, Latest 7.0.x test builds) and start .run installer manually.

To me it looks that you have an issue w/ installing (Windows?) host package which is not signed -- this is expected for Windows Test Builds, we do not sign them.
