Any problem installing VBoxAddition into Opensolaris ?

[Toaster]

Sorry for the double post (http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=24998) but i have to ask here too just in case am i not the only one...

I am running Mac OS, and Opensolaris (JeOS, without graphic) version svn_127. And i cannot install the VBoxAddition ? see my other post: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=24998, it is ending with " *** Failed to configure client!! Couldn't find autostart directory."

Is there any solution to my problem ?

thanks and sorry again for the double post... wasn't sure where to post it.

The OSE version of VBox does not support USB.

Sorry but this isn't totally true.

I was able to install the exact same image of opensolaris on a Windows XP pro machine and the USB was working fine. I was able to use 3 USB key at the same time to make a raidz.

I was able to install the VBoxAddition without any more error, but i did some teak to make it work...

The original error was "Failed to configure client!! Couldn\'t find autostart directory.'", but i need more verbose output, i did my install using: pkgadd -v -d VirtualBoxAdditions.pkg and i saw:

Code: Select all

Configuring client...
+ vboxclient_src=/opt/VirtualBoxAdditions
+ vboxclient_dest=/usr/dt/config/Xsession.d
+ test -d /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d
+ test -d /usr/share/gnome/autostart
+ echo $'*** Failed to configure client!! Couldn\'t find autostart directory.'
*** Failed to configure client!! Couldn't find autostart directory.

Solution was:
mkdir -p /usr/dt/config/ && touch /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d;
mkdir -p /usr/share/gnome/autostart

Then, no more error, and a nice exit 0...

+ exit 0

Again, here some more info (i did a typo before about my pkginfo command)

Code: Select all

# pkginfo SUNWvboxguest

BUT... usb still not working...Maybe my problem is on the Mac OS host ?

I don't think that you understand me. Read this. http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions
USB is not supported in the OSE version and as such is not included in the open source license.
While you may be able to work this out yourself it is not supported

Perryg,

I think we misunderstand each other

I don't have the OSE of VB, i never said i did either. What i have is the OpenSolaris JeOS: http://wikis.sun.com/display/jeos.

I think i know what you mean, that USB isn't supported in the Free edition AND the OSE of VB...right? okay...well, i think there is a lot of people here using the Free and they make USB work fine, that why i asked my question here.
