software installation - On 18.04, package "virtualbox-guest-utils" does not exist


In the past, I've managed to get the virtual box shared folder via the command on trusty and xenial boxes.


$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-utils

But now on the bionic version - the packages does not even exist yet.

virtualbox-guest-utils exists on bionic in the multiverse repo. Simply ensure you have this repository enabled.


om:~$ apt policy virtualbox-guest-utils
