It has been a while since we have talked about this. It is because it took me time to set up the basic environment. I earlier had Windows as my host machine and was working on this project through Virtual Machine. But I see this created many issues and lowered my resources. However, I have changed my host machine to Ubuntu and again started working on the project. > > I downloaded and installed the Oracle VirtualBox 7.0, and during the installation, it built and installed the Oracle VM VirtualBox kernel modules: *vboxdrv*, *vboxnetflt*, and *vboxnetadp*. Since they are the out-of-tree Oracle installed modules. I manually removed them and installed and loaded the in-tree vbox modules: *vboxsf*, *vboxguest*, *vboxvideo*. But the VirtualBox still throws the following error: > > The VirtualBox Dialogue error: > > "The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly.

I would be glad if you could help me set up the vboxsf testing environment. The mainline kernel modules only support vbox guest functionality. If you are using Linux as a virtualbox host / hypervisor then you do need the vbox out of tree host modules on the host side for things to work. Regards, Hans
