[OpenIndiana-discuss] Fwd: TEST-pkg available: Hipster's future VirtualBox-5.1.6-SunOS-amd64-r110634.pkg

Мартин, 
The test I've done so far are on Hipster/illumos-cb3c687 on a Dell T5400.
The ISO from the windows version works fine as well as the extension pack installs fine.
I'll see later on with a different hardware (more recent) and USB Webcam + sound.

Don't forget to put "Rest/Have a beer" in you task list.

Best regards.
Ben

It should be permissions based. 
Only giving whatever access to the respective devices on the host doesn't work, modifications regarding suid against /opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox are also not doing the trick. 
In the past with vbox4 test runs with vbox as root made USB and on another aspect also optical media passthrough (on non-USB) work. 

The curiosity with Vbox5.0.x and 5.1.x (no matter if Oracle bins or self-built) is, that you cannot properly run vbox5 as root (for a short test), because the Qt GUI gets messed up and no text is shown. Quite odd. 
But more on that after the TODO list was completed. 
Life is, tough. And short, especially with such hobbies. 









I'm looking forward to more test results, especially USB. 
For me it doesn't work at the moment, but Oracle's binary package also doesn't work for me. 
That's still a problematic area which needs extra reviews. 


Best regards,
