Version

23.10.11

Explain the issue and what happens

This is a documentation problem.
GhostBSD 22.03.11 comes with the virtualbox-ose-additions package installed, but without information necessary to make it work. It is not possible to install the port once the package is removed. Reinstalling the pkg provides the necessary information.

Explain how to reproduce the bug?

Just try. I deleted the vm and started over 3X with the same results.

What is the Expected behavior (if applicable)

I would expect the information necessary to get the package to function.
in VirtualBox:

  •  set display to VBoxSVGA
    
  •  do not enable 3D acceleration 
    
    in GhostBSD:
  •  sysrc vboxguest_enable="YES"
    
  •  sysrc vboxservice_enable="YES"
    
  •  add the user to the wheel group
    

and restart the system

Additional context (if applicable)

I suggest you remove the pkg from the installation set unless there is a way to provide this information to a new user. Bad words ran through my head.
