Virtualbox and openSUSE Leap 15.1

Post by bennyg »

Hi

Will there be a repository for openSUSE Leap 15.1 in the near future?

Thanks

Doesn't the OpenSUSE 15.0 work? Can't you download it from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads ?

I have not tested it yet because the distribution version is different. For the versions of Leap 42 there was always a separate repository.

Give it a shot, I don't see how different 15.0 and 15.1 will be...

From https://download.opensuse.org/distribut ... /15.1/iso/ is seems that the OpenSUSE 15.1 ISOs were ready in 2019-05-15, just 2 days after 6.0.8 was released. I don't think the VirtualBox developers could foresee the 15.1 release... ;)

You posted while I was editing my message! :)

Please re-read it, and try the 15.0 build, I'm 90% sure that it will work. If that doesn't, you can always get the generic Linux distribution (the "Linux 64-bit") from the latest 6.0.x test builds.

Another variant would be to wait for 6.0.10 or to use the version of Virtualbox from the openSUSE 15.1 distribution.

It is not so tragic. :wink: I currently use the 15.0 also and everything runs fine from the right Virtualbox repository.
