Hi Leslie, I have no idea if this will help, and I’m sure you’ll need to translate package names to OpenSuSE. These are the ‘automagic’ package install instructions for MX Linux (Debian 10 buster). They work and are very well tested. How to use VirtualBox I’ll still sorting out, so I can’t help you there :( - For 64 bit architectures, do in order <preinstall>, <install_package_names>, <postinstall>. - Uninstall with <uninstall_package_names>. Notes: MX does these through a graphical sudo process in Xfce. When I did it (in TDE) I had to run it as raw root to be able to ‘accept’ the Oracle thing [TOS?]. It was ‘broken’ unless I accepted it. ############### <installable> 64 </installable> <screenshot>https://screenshots.debian.net/screenshots/000/015/010/large.png</screenshot> <preinstall> </preinstall> <install_package_names> virtualbox virtualbox-ext-pack virtualbox-guest-additions-iso </install_package_names> <postinstall> gpasswd -M $(getent group users | cut -d: -f4) vboxusers </postinstall> <uninstall_package_names> virtualbox virtualbox-ext-pack virtualbox-guest-additions-iso </uninstall_package_names> ############### Uh, yeah, that postinstall I'm sure it's not the same for OpenSuSE. Here’s what the sub commands are on my box, both root and my username come up with the same value. michael@local [~]# getent group users users:x:100:michael root@local [~]# getent group users users:x:100:michael # getent group users | cut -d: -f4 michael Grab a Debian Man for gpasswd if gpasswd isn’t the same on OpenSuSE.
