Maybe you can solve the issue by installing the guest additions from within the guest system. The answer is largely based on https://askubuntu.com/questions/22743/how-do-i-install-guest-additions-in-a-virtualbox-vm. I am attaching a how-to for the installation of Poseidon 9 in which the procedure is covered.

  1. Install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable Package ( https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe, https://www.debugpoint.com/virtualbox-needs-microsoft-visual-c/)
  2. Install the Oracle VM Virtual Box 7.0.8 (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)
  3. Download Poseidon 9 (https://sites.google.com/site/poseidonlinux/download)
  4. Open the Virtual Box, create a new VM, select the ISO of Poseidon 9 for installation, install the Ubuntu version in the VM.
  5. Restart the VM with Poseidon 9 and open up a terminal:
    • update the system: sudo apt-get update
    • upgrade the system: sudo apt-get upgrade
    • get the build-essential and dkms tools: sudo apt install build-essential dkms
    • get the guest additions from the repository (not the standard ones, they destroy everything): sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso
    • make a new folder to mount the guest additions: sudo mkdir /mnt/iso
    • mount the iso file: sudo mount -o loop /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso /mnt/iso
    • go to the mounted iso file: cd /mnt/iso
    • install: sh autorun.sh (maybe sudo?)
    • unmount the iso: sudo umount /mnt/iso/
  6. Close the terminal and shut off the VM
  7. Go the the settings in the Virtual Box and add a shared folder
  8. Start the VM. Most likely you do not have user rights to work in the shared folder yet. So, open a terminal
    • Install a command line editor: sudo apt install vim
    • Edit the /etc/group file
    • go to directory: cd /etc/
    • open in editor: sudo vim group
    • press "i" to go to edit mode, search for the line "vboxsf:x:999" (at the end most likely") and alternate to "vboxsf:x:999:username" (replace username with your ubuntu user name).
    • press "ESC" to leave edit mode, type ":wq" to write the changes and quit.
  9. Log off and on again.
  10. Do what ever you want.
