Hey All,
Hoping for some suggestions here. I’m running Rocky 8.5 and trying to install the guest addons from VirtualBox 6.0.10. I’ve installed the packages to build but the log says that it’s missing files. Unfortunately I do not have the option to update VirtualBox to the latest (6.1) yet.
Any ideas or help would be awesome!
