I have installed Manjaro 18.1 as a VM using VirtualBox. Tried to use the default configuration using Type = Linux, Version = Arch Linux (64-bit) as Manjaro was not availabe as an option when creating a VM in VirtualBox. Unfortunately, this sets the Graphics Controller to VMSVGA which was too late for me to learn as this prevents resizing of the VM display. Anyway, to fix this, do the following. Update Manjaro for good measure $: sudo pacman -Syu If kernel is updated, restart the VM: $: sudo reboot Get the kernel in use as this will be needed later. $: uname -r Mine shows this 5.4.13-3-MANJARO Install VirtualBox guest utils $: sudo pacman -S virtualbox-guest-utils At a later point it will ask for VIRTUALBOX-GUEST-MODULES, this will be the kernel guest module that needs to be installed which should match with the running kernel. For example in my VM, console output shown below, I have to select 7 as I am running kernel 5.4 ( 5.4.13-3-MANJARO ). resolving
