Fedora 37 missing from the repository
Hello everyone,
Fedora 37 has been out for some time now but the virtualbox repository is missing fedora 37 packages:
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/
It goes up to Fedora 36 only. Is there someone from Oracle/Virtualbox that we can get in touch with and let them know about the missing packages or should we just wait?
Thank you.

Re: Fedora 37 missing from the repository
Looks like you will need to wait as Fedora 37 was officially released on the 15-Nov-2022, which is very recent and Oracle need time to make the release etc....

Waiting then
Re: Fedora 37 missing from the repository
so i just started using fedora (37 in fact) and was able to install using the download from the site. you're right that it isnt in the repo, but it worked just fine after i downgraded to 6.1.38, since 6.1.40 slightly breaks 3D acceleration, and 7.0.x finishes the job. Kinda sad, but it's free, so I can't really seriously complain eh?
Re: Fedora 37 missing from the repository
just installing the 'linux-devel' packages worked for me (fedora 37 ker 6.0.15)
Re: Fedora 37 missing from the repository
I think they generally enable the repo at the same time as a new VirtualBox release, though they could have done it when 7.0.4 was released on Nov. 18 since that was 3 days after Fedora 37's release. Hopefully next one.
Edit: Well, there's a 7.0.6 now but still no F37 repo.

Re: Fedora 37 missing from the repository
No point in reminding us! We are users just like you, and we see new releases at the same time you do.

Re: Fedora 37 missing from the repository
What is really weird is that if you can enable the RPMFusion-free-updates repo, VirtualBox 7.0.4-1 is available for F37.
Re: Fedora 37 missing from the repository
That is not from Oracle, which is what we are discussing.
Re: Fedora 37 missing from the repository
This work for me:
Update system, install kernel headers and devel.
Reboot to make sure new kernel updates are applied.
Create repo file commenting the baseurl line, and creating a new one changing $releasever for 36 (that is the latest fedora supported):
Update repos
Install VirtualBox.
That's all. I'm able to install virtual machines on my fedora 37. I have installed a Windows 10 and wors fine.
In case that VirtualBox says something that kernel libraries have not been compiled, you can re-execute the VirtualBox config running:
And it's working for me.
Next steps:
Wait for oracle release the repo folder for fedora 37, and change again the baseurl line in repo file, replacing 36 for $releasever.
BYe...
And
Update system, install kernel headers and devel.
Code: Select all
# dnf -y install kernel-headers kernel-devel dkms elfutils-libelf-devel qt5-qtx11extras gcc make perl bzip2
Create repo file commenting the baseurl line, and creating a new one changing $releasever for 36 (that is the latest fedora supported):

Re: Fedora 37 missing from the repository
It still looks like only up to Fedora 36 is supported at this time.
We don't have inside info on the devs' release dates here on the forum.

Re: Fedora 37 missing from the repository
FWIW, VirtualBox-7.0-7.0.8_156879_fedora36-1.x86_64.rpm is now available. Unfortunately, if running the just released F38, it's impossible to check the signature (see viewtopic.php?f=7&t=109143 ).
Re: Fedora 37 missing from the repository
The F37 and F38 repos are now available! https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/21599#comment:8
The signature checking problem was because VirtualBox 7.0.8 and newer use a new signing key so it's necessary to use oracle_vbox_2016.asc instead of the old oracle_vbox.asc to verify. The details are now on the Linux Downloads page.
