Virtualbox Cursor problem

[Arslan S.]

what is the problem then ? how can't it be loaded on boot time ? is your tce folder on a usb stick ?
and are you sure you have a persistent setup ?
please print output of:

Code: [Select]

cat /opt/.tce_dir

The thing is that I make it loading! But VirtualBox additions is not works (shared Clipboard, seamless mode and etc.) Can you advice where I should look to check it or make it works?

[Arslan S.]

i didn't test shared clipboard yet but i can tell you that Xorg drivers work fine

[Arslan S.]

i approve that neither the shared clipboard nor seamless mode works but i don't think there is anything i can do sorry

[Toshick]

I was made to work shared clipboard on 4.x and VB4.12, but I didn't check it on 4.14, hoping to your extension. I'll check my way to install it today's evening and maybe together we will deal with it 

[Toshick]

I've just checked and find out that there is no vboxadd, vboxadd-service and vboxadd-X11 binaries in /etc/init.d. Can you describe me your way of creating extension? My was:
1. Prepare environment:
-number of packages installed: compiletc, usb-utils, make, gcc, linux-api-headers, util-linux-base, module-init-tools, libmpc, libmpc-dev, squashfs-tools.
-download TCL kernel sources, unpack it to external storage.(for example to sdb1/000/linux-3.0.3/)
-next actions was performed
mkdir /usr/src
mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/modules/3.0.3-tinycore/kernel
ln -s /mnt/sdb1/000/linux-3.0.3/ /lib/modules/3.0.3-tinycore/build
-create time-stamp mark.

2. Install VBoxLinuxAdditions.run with regular installer
3. Change line in /etc/init.d/vboxadd
from:
daemon $binary > /dev/null
to:
($binary > /dev/null) &

4 determine number of files was changed during install, base on time-stamp previously created.
5 create archive from these files
6 TCL extension was created base on archive we've got on previous stage.


But I did this on VB 4.1.2, but I don't think it has significant difference with 4.1.4. If you'll insist I'll repeat my installation on updated version.

[Arslan S.]

it is VBoxClient-all which should be run after X starts
i didn't test yet but i hope seamless mode and shared clipboard will work this time

Do you have any news? Just in case - I can help to test your extension.

Thanks.

[Arslan S.]

no need to update virtualbox extensions
after X starts just run VBoxClient-all it starts all client services but i couldn't activate seamless mode others including shared clipboard seem to work ok

for persistency

Code: [Select]

echo "VBoxClient-all &" > ~/.X.d/vbox

[Toshick]

Any thoughts about seamless mode?

Hi. I'm running TC4.2, just installed guest additions installed(virtualbox-ose-additions.tcz and virtualbox-ose-additions-modules-3.0.3-tinycore.tcz). Seamless window and clipboard sharing does not work for me either. Ran "VBoxClient-all &", still no go. Anybody get this working?

lsmod shows vboxguest, vboxsf loaded. I loaded vboxvideo manually but used=0 so not in use.

[tweetyhack]

I just read on virtualbox.org that the guest additions don't work with Xvesa but works with Xorg. Anybody know about that?
