From this forum discussion https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=538040&sid=88a421cc07e7172a30c8cbbb7c58db25#p538040 and following posts, it appears that Windows Guest Additions VboxTray.exe logs the startup status of the Guest Additions services:
00:00:14.623177 VMMDev: Guest Log: Starting services ... 00:00:14.623199 VMMDev: Guest Log: Starting service 'display' ... 00:00:14.624515 VMMDev: Guest Log: Service 'display' started 00:00:14.624542 VMMDev: Guest Log: Starting service 'clipboard' ... 00:00:14.624600 VMMDev: Guest Log: Shared Clipboard: New Clipboard API enabled 00:00:14.626668 VMMDev: Guest Log: Service 'clipboard' started 00:00:14.626684 VMMDev: Guest Log: Starting service 'seamless' ... 00:00:14.626817 VMMDev: Guest Log: Service 'seamless' started 00:00:14.626828 VMMDev: Guest Log: Starting service 'VRDP' ... 00:00:14.626917 VMMDev: Guest Log: Service 'VRDP' started 00:00:14.626926 VMMDev: Guest Log: Starting service 'IPC' ... 00:00:14.627318 VMMDev: Guest Log: VBoxIPCInit: Local IPC server now running at "\\.\pipe\VBoxTrayIPC-user" 00:00:14.627396 VMMDev: Guest Log: Service 'IPC' started 00:00:14.627407 VMMDev: Guest Log: Starting service 'LA' ... 00:00:14.627509 VMMDev: Guest Log: LA: RegQueryValueExW: failed [SOFTWARE\Oracle\VirtualBox Guest Additions/VBoxTrayLog] 00:00:14.627536 VMMDev: Guest Log: LA: RegQueryValueExW: failed [SOFTWARE\Oracle\VirtualBox Guest Additions/VBoxTrayLA] 00:00:14.627548 VMMDev: Guest Log: LA: DetachOnDisconnect=true 00:00:14.627688 VMMDev: Guest Log: Service 'LA' started 00:00:14.627703 VMMDev: Guest Log: Starting service 'draganddrop' ... 00:00:14.631857 VMMDev: Guest Log: DnD: Drag and drop service successfully started 00:00:14.631938 VMMDev: Guest Log: Service 'draganddrop' started 00:00:14.631947 VMMDev: Guest Log: All services started
Apparently, Linux Guest Additions VBoxClient does not log these status messages unless explicitly instructed to do so.
These status messages are useful when diagnosing Guest Additions problems on the forum.
Could Linux VBoxClient have these messages turned on by default, please?
