Virtualbox - Virtual Media Manager missing choice

Support Software & Applications
1

I have a virtual machine that I want to make larger and the instructions I found state I need to go to the File menu and select “Virtual Media Manager”. But when I select File menu there is no choice there for Virtual Media Manager.
Do I need to install something else?

Hi @MAYBL8,

You didn’t specify in what software you use the Virtual Machine. I’m guessing Virtualbox since QEMU is most, if not completely CLI.

I do not know. Please provide the output of:

pamac search --installed virtualbox

[demo@Manjaro ~]$ pamac search --installed virtualbox

Hmmm…

I quickly checked and couldn’t find anything, and I don’t really use Virtual machines, but maybe this helps:

Ok I think I figured it out.
If you goto Tools then Media there is a slider bar at the bottom.
This is different than the other instructions I found.
Thanks
