Title: VBox-OSE-additions
Post by: Jason W on August 29, 2009, 09:56:18 PM: Thanks to Kingdomecome for this. I checked the redistribution requirements and it can be distributed in compliance with the GPL2. Also, requirements stated that redistributed packages needed to be named different than Virtualbox, this one is named VBox. I looked through the forum on the Sun site about this, as there were many questions about distribution, and it was clearly stated that this package is redistributable by means of GPL2.

Post by: JoXo009 on September 19, 2009, 03:41:03 PM: This extension with Guest Additions for Virtual Box works great.

Together with TC version 2.3 it preserves kmap settings of Grub menu.lst,
thus enabling TC vBox for non-US keyboards.

After downloading and installing the extension
1x reboot is needed with bootcode 'xsetup'
to get the Guest Additions working.

Thank you, Kingdomecome

Title: Re: VBox-OSE-additions
Post by: florian on March 09, 2010, 04:39:11 PM: On my main desktop, I run TC in Vb as guest and share a folder from the host machine. It worked well until I updated to latest VBox-OSE-additions.tczl. Now I can't mount the shared folder anymore and I have following error:
mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device
Title: Re: VBox-OSE-additions
Post by: maro on March 09, 2010, 06:32:19 PM: @florian: If you would have read the .info file you would have seen that you'll need to load the module manually (i.e. sudo modprobe vboxvfs).

Afterwards you should be able to use sudo mount.vboxsf <sharename> <mountpoint>. I just did a quick test with TC 2.9, and that seemed to have worked.
Title: Re: VBox-OSE-additions
Post by: florian on March 09, 2010, 06:58:38 PM: My bad. I didn't add the "sudo modprobe vboxvfs" which wasn't necessary in previous version of this extension. Thanks for the tip, it's working now.
Title: Re: VBox-OSE-additions
Post by: Kingdomcome on March 09, 2010, 07:35:48 PM: That change has gotten me a couple times too, and I made the change! I chose to move the modprobe out of the startup script and leave the choice of when to load the module up to the user. Im not sure if it will have a tremendous effect on boot time, but that was also a consideration.

For the users of the x11 additions, I found a problem with the permissions on one of the vbox devices and have resubmitted the modules extension with a fix. If you wish to use the x11 additions with the current extension you will need to run these commands before running VBoxClient or VBoxClient-all

sudo chown vboxadd:daemon /dev/vboxuser sudo chmod 666 /dev/vboxuser
