For the Windows version "list bridgedifs" returns an empty result:

C:\Windows\System32>"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" list bridgedifs
C:\Windows\System32>

Thanks for the reproduction instructions. I can kind of reproduce (I get an error message instead), and we'll try to get this one squashed soon.

Development snapshot still has the wrong version of the Extension Pack, the 7.0 version instead of the 7.1 version. It can't be installed, and one has to take an Extension Pack from the beta download page. I already reported this a week ago in the performance topic. Now I report this here.

And there is no information about the beta on the VBox main page. So not everybody noticed that the beta was released.

https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.1.0_BETA1 should have the right 7.1 Beta extension pack.

Oops. Bug in the script which handled the uploading of test builds... product renaming can have very unintended side effects. The regey needed fixing (otherwise just the old files from before the rename matched, ending up with the outdated file).

Resolved now. The development snapshot test builds have the latest extpack now.

@IRM_7

Cent OS 8 (x64 only) isn't likely to work:

The x86-on-arm feature is still not performant enough to be meant for everyday use, especially for heavy desktop operating systems like Windows or Ubuntu (or any other graphical Linux distribution for that matter). Older guests and text mode operation should work okayish if you don't expect performance miracles. You can enable running x86 guests by issuing the following command:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata global "VBoxInternal2/EnableX86OnArm" 1

But please don't report any issues with that as it is completely unsupported at the moment.
Admin edit: Note that if you put this in place it will make the "Developer Preview" marker appear in the GUI. Oh, and the command was subtly wrong initially. Fixed.

This must be easy but I can't find the answer. The beta compiles and installs using the VirtualBox*.run file, but starting VMs gives a kernel mismatch error. Removing the beta and reinstalling version 7.20 and more recent testing versions (e.g. 164394) works fine. What am I missing?
Thanks,
ms

PS, The same occurs using kernels 6.6.46 and 6.10.5 .
