Hello! I’m trying to install Guix in a Virtual Box to test it before going all in, and I’m having an issue. I also tried this using the regular Guix image but to no success, has anyone done this before?

Here’s what happen:

- Installed Guix successfully
- Insert VBox Guest addition disk image
- autorun doesn’t work, then I try to execute it manually
- execution suggests running VBoxLinuxGuestAdditions manually, which I do
- I receive the following problem:

Any hints on that? Has anyone faced this before?

Thanks in advance!

I would like some guidance on this as well. I have everything up and running but my resolution option does not include 3840x2160. ☹
