Bug 223213 – Bump Request: app-emulation/virtualbox-1.6

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description FieldySnuts 2008-05-22 14:50:42 UTC]

Hello,

Virtualbox 1.6 was released May 2nd, just dropping a little reminder, and hopefully it will make it into portage at some point.

Thank you,
Fieldy

you can grab a test ebuild in this bug#220144.

For me it broke host networking (known issue upstream). You will need to use the Intel PRO/1000 emulated card, however that didn't work for me so I needed to switch to NAT which may present problems for some.

Another wierd issue for me is that the screen resolution is not automatically adjusting upon resize. I have to click the adjust window size button and then it works while the VM is open. Upon restart though it doesn't work. I saw a bug on that upstream as well.

If this version gets added to portage it may be best to ~arch mask it in portage or better yet hard mask until the issues get worked out.

I have seen there is a 6.2 SVN version but I do not think Sun has released a binary as of yet...

Thanks for spotting that.

I actually did search, using the advanced search, with literally all possibilities in all lists, with "virtualbox 1.6" without the quotes in the subject. I'm at a loss as to why 220144 did not show up.

Cheers.
