Thanks a lot you just saved me, it's been days that i was trying to install the guest additions

[race_Bannon]

Thanks. I had already searched the internet and other videos, but none had returned a positive result. It worked!!

Thanks for this helpful video. Here is the command, I executed with root and it worked great:
dnf install kernel-uek-devel-$(uname -r) gcc binutils automake make perl bzip2 elfutils-libelf-devel

Thanks for this. Little annoying that Oracle Linux needs sooo much extra work to perform well when virtualized in another Oracle solution. Autorun just works for Ubuntu, and I was definitely just expecting that to be the case with the OS from Oracle

Works for me! Host is Windows10, VM is Oracle linux 8.
Even though I had the "ValueError: File context for already defined" alert on the output of the VBOX installation command.
Just ignore it and it should work
thanks

Guys, i find the more easyest way to achieve the same ruslt, just mounted this addition component, then find autorun.sh and choise start as a program under ubuntu or use another app like terminal in other os to start this file/ then restrt computer, dont forget increase video memory in setting virtual box, have fun, just like me if it was helpful))

Hello! Could you please help. This dnf command is not working for me. It is giving me deprecation warning.

Couldn't use the third step, it just told me it wasn't a valid command
