Re: Windows 8?
Posted: 29. Jul 2012, 22:48
I have an issue with the trunk build and Windows 8 . Copy/paste text between host (Win7) and guest (Win8) doesn't work. Copy/paste works for Ubuntu 12.04 (guest).
This should be solved with 4.2 Beta 1 Host VBox installation + Guest Additions from here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=50764#p232447 .Andre.Ziegler wrote:I have an issue which is not Win8 related. I've installed a Win7 VM in the latest trunk build and when I get an UAC prompt the Win 7 bootlogo is shown for a short time in the secure desktop. Aero Glass is enabled in the VM settings (256MB RAM).
The 4.2 Beta1 build is more resent than the latest trunk build posted here, so you should use 4.2 Beta1, note however that 4.2 Beta1 Guest Additions had some issues which are now fixed with the resent Guest Additions test build posted here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=50764#p232447 .Andre.Ziegler wrote:Which build should we use? The latest trunk build or 4.2 Beta1?
So you don't have those Kernel Panic issues with Mountain Lion, do you?Joey177 wrote:Sorry, I have installed Mountain Lion and no longer have the log files for the previous kernel panic. I will try to find any more problems and report them here.
ok, I'll test this this evening.misha wrote:This should be solved with 4.2 Beta 1 Host VBox installation + Guest Additions from here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=50764#p232447 .Andre.Ziegler wrote:I have an issue which is not Win8 related.

Could you give it a try and let me know whether the issue is gone for you?
I installed 4.2 Beta 1 and the guest additions. I have the same problem, my hardware network adapter is not detected, sol I cannot select bridged mode and I cannot access my local network. Release 4.1.18 worked just fine.hawkeye62 wrote:The new build allows me to drag the window size to what ever I want. Thanks for the effort.
BUT, I no longer have the ability to use a bridged network adapter. When I select bridged, an error message says the adapter can't be found. If I select NAT, I can connect to the internet, but not to my local network. Prior to this latest build, I could select bridged and my actual hardware adapter would show up in the window. I could browse my local network, write and read to shared folders, etc.
Thanks for any help, Jim

We've reproduced and are aware of this problem. Both host-only and bridged networking drivers do not get installed properly as well as a host reboot is requested due to VBox installer issues.hawkeye62 wrote:I installed 4.2 Beta 1 and the guest additions.

Windows 8 rtm is not officially released, is it? In any way Windows 8 support was significantly enhanced for VBox 4.2 BETA1,lexxx wrote:Windows 8 rtm 9200 performs very slow on vbox 4.1.16.
I'd suggest you to create a new topic in the "Beta Feedback" forum viewforum.php?f=15 to get more attention to this issue and to not mix it with Win8-specific things.Andre.Ziegler wrote:..Now the Windows copy/past issue sucks. I can copy/past text between my Win7 host and Ubuntu VM, but not to Windows VMs.
So where did you get it from?lexxx wrote:misha,
for end-user maybe not officialy released...
