5.1 beta 3 - Mac OS 10.11.6 host problems

Post by mwf19 »

Machine is a 27" iMac Retina. 16gb ram, 512gb ssd. mid 2015.
OS is 10.11.6 beta (15G12a)

VM is Windows 10 Enterprise 1511.

Bug 1: Dock icon is corrupted on boot. Attached image.

Bug 2: VM is unable to recognize the full screen with 2D/3D checked. It runs in a blackbox.

Bug 3: After installing guest additions Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.0_BETA3-108118.vbox-extpack wired keyboard does not work. Trackpad does not work. Pointing device is USB tablet. (fixed by starting VM)

Big 4: In order to install the guest additions, I had to import it manually. clicking the .extpack did nothing

Please let me know what you need.

Beta host operating systems are not supported. Can you please try with a supported host OS?

That does not parse. Extension Pack and Guest Additions are totally different things.

Sorry I can't type. This was the .extpack for the Extension Pack.

10.11.6 is going to be mainstream, shortly. I have been using it since developer release. Figured you would like a heads up given that this is the beta forum.

Certainly -- but not with a beta of VirtualBox :) That just makes it so much harder to identify where problems are coming from. This would probably be the most appropriate forum (but, given the current feedback, I would not recommend testing with 5.0.22).
