File -> Preferences -> Extensions -> (click on the icon to Add package) -> select Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.0.0-69151.vbox-extpack in File dialog
Install
Agree to the License Agreement
Password Required dialog: "Enter the password of root to run the application ... VBoxExtPackHelperApp ..."
I enter my password (note: root is a role, not a user, so I assume it wants a password for elevated privileges)
Failure dialog
exit code 3: embedded_su: Sorry
result code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
I was able to get the extension pack to install by entering this command at a bash prompt:
Code: Select all
pfexec /opt/VirtualBox/amd64/VBoxExtPackHelperApp --stdout /tmp/VBoxExtPackHelper-r6zjis/stdout --stderr /tmp/VBoxExtPackHelper-r6zjis/stderr --elevated install --base-dir /opt/VirtualBox/ExtensionPacks --cert-dir /opt/VirtualBox/ExtPackCertificates --name 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack' --tarball /home/bwaters/Downloads/VirtualBox-4.0.0_RELEASE/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.0.0-69151.vbox-extpack
Shipping software would be lots of fun if it weren't for those dang users. But in this case I don't think it's (totally) my fault. Although I am often wrong about this.
