I’ve figured this much out in openSuse,

It should be “opensuse:~# yast2 –install gcc gcc-c++ make kernel-source”
Note the double dash

For me it was “cd /media/VBOXADDITIONS_”
Note the removal of cdrom

I ran into an issue where it said the last kernel build failed,so the Guest Additions didn’t succeed.I then went to the Install Software section and installed the default kernel, and then tried to install guest additions again and it worked.

I followed these direction in 11.0 to no avail. I also came across this on the Virtualbox site: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes openSUSE 11.0 status is- Works partially, Additions do not support X11 yet So I'm guessing that's why I'm having issues, unless I did something wrong.... Has anyone else gotten GuestAdditons to work in 11.0? What Version of openSUSE is this for? I followed these direction in 11.0 to no avail. I also came across this on the Virtualbox site:

Has anyone else gotten GuestAdditons to work in 11.0?
