I upgraded the kernel to 5.4. The problem that autoscaling doesn't work persists.
$ sudo dmesg does not give me any errors.
$ sudo /usr/lib/systemd//systemd-modules-load gives me no erors either. I have no dkms installed.
What might be wrong here?
What DE, my experience is it works only on KDE, GNOME, XFCE4.
I use xfce in the guest and kde in the host.
In the guest can we see:
pacman -Qs virtual
systemctl status vboxservice.service
uname -sr
What graphics controller do you use, and is your host linux as well?
Can you check that the vboxvideo module is loaded in the guest (e.g. lsmod | grep vbox)? If not, load it with modprobe vboxvideo.

Those are good pointers.
I got the service to run with $ systemctl start vboxservice
I also enabled it now:
$ systemctl enable vboxservice.service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vboxservice.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxservice.service.
Will reboot to see if that works [edit: nope]
If the vboxservice wasn't running, that means the guest utils weren't running.
Its all quite strange. I set the graphics adapter too the most dumb one (vboxvga).
$ mhwd -li
Installed PCI configs:
NAME VERSION FREEDRIVER TYPE
video-virtualbox 2018.11.25 true PCI
EDIT 1
Fixing/Improving Virtual Machine support (use vboxsvga) seems to contradict Can't auto-resize guest display in VirtualBox (use VBoxVGA).
Not sure about the recommended graphics adapter now..
EDIT 2
$ sudo mhwd -r pci video-vmware
Error: config 'video-vmware' is not installed!
$ sudo mhwd -i pci video-virtualbox
Error: config 'video-virtualbox' does not exist!
EDIT 3
Remvoed video-virtualbox in the hope to install it later, but now i have video-virtualmachine installed and I cannot install video-virtualbox anymore..
Video-virtualmachine replaces video-virtualbox.
Ah thx, it doesn't take away the issue nonetheless.
Does anybody know the as per Manjaro recommended settings? No combination acutally makes auto-resizing works. Some combination gray out that item alltogether in the menu.
Manjaro and VirtualBox have different ideas about the recommend graphical adapter. None works.
