However, there seems to be Oracle_VBoxDTrace_Extension_Pack in there, too (and we want to keep that extpack intact - so we can't just point it to another location. I'm not sure if this is possible with nix, though.Īctually, VBo圎xtPackHelperApp install simply extracts the oracle extpack to $out/(share/|libexec/)virtualbox/ExtensionPacks: Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack (depending on whether hardening is enabled or not): This would allow the user to download a binary version of the Virtualbox package.
This would produce a virtualbox-with-extension-pack package very similar to the virtualbox package, just with the extension pack installed. However, would it be possible to do something similar to Arch Linux, where Virtualbox with the extension pack is a completely separate package? There could be a virtualbox-with-extension-pack package that takes the normal virtualbox package as input, and runs the command to install the extension pack. I can't think of a time when I would want to be true but I don't want to accept the PUEL.Īs we don't build unfree packages on Hydra, this would still mean each user will download their own copy, and we don't redistribute the binaries. In this case, the particular virtual machine can’t be resumed without removing some of the configurations or updating the extension pack to the latest version.Īs shown below, if you select USB 2.0 or 3.0 support without having the latest version, you will get the following warning message.I'm more in favor of the Gentoo way of solving this, require the user to explicitly ack the PUEL (via ACCEPT_LICENSE configuration in this case), and then just allowing it to build.Īlthough, it does seem somewhat silly that the flag wouldn't imply acceptance of the PUEL. Normally when you open a saved or new virtual machine without updating the extension pack, you will get an error message related to USB2.0/USB3.0.
If you use some of the advanced features such as USB 3.0/2.0, VirtualBox RDP and PXE boot for Intel cards inside the virtual machines, then you must install or upgrade VirtualBox extension pack to the latest version.Įarlier we published a guide about installing VB guest additions on Windows 10 and how to use VirtualBox to install and test Windows 2012/2016 R2 server OS at your home PC. Whenever Oracle releases updates for their free virtualization software VirtualBox, we must update the extension pack to get additional features on the guest virtual machine.
