Hi,

Is there somewhere a testbuild to test on Fedora 32 Beta ?

Thanks for your answer.

Thanks for your answer.

f31 version should work just fine.

I am testing Fedora 32 beta on a vm upgraded from Fedora 31 and receive the following message. I can force install of VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.4 and the console starts but the VMs will not start. Any suggestions?

[root@tblap Downloads]# dnf reinstall ./VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.4_136177_fedora31-1.x86_64.rpm
Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:35 ago on Wed 01 Apr 2020 12:08:00 PM EDT.
Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides python(abi) = 3.7 needed by VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.4_136177_fedora31-1.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

I have two problems when I try to install VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.4_136177_fedora31-1.x86_64.rpm on Fedora 32 Beta.

The first one is the same than tbuchanan and it concerns Python ABI as Fedora 32 Beta install python3-3.8.2-2.fc32.x86_64

- nothing provides python(abi) = 3.7 needed by VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.4_136177_fedora31-1.x86_64

This problem can be bypassed using rpmrebuild to modify spec file and replace "Requires: python(abi) = 3.7" wiith "Requires: python(abi) >= 3.7"

After this modification VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.4_136177_fedora31-1.x86_64.rpm accepts to be installed on Fedora 32 Beta

At this time there is at least a second problem running vboxconfig:

This error need to be fixed before we can use VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.4_136177_fedora31-1.x86_64.rpm on Fedora 32 Beta.

This link seems to work as an interim solution: https://medium.com/@drpdishant/installi ... 0118d54e05
I did have to download the extensions and guest additions from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds to get everything to work.

[didierg]

It will be nice if a confined developer could build from home a fedora RPM with 6.1.x revision 136807 !

Hi!
Did you get any workaround to make it work on Fedora 32?

Thanks!

The .run file in https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.6/ works fine for me in Fedora 32, it's not necessary to use a test build as the instructions suggest.

I have installed the VirtualBox from rpmfusion and everything works great!

Fedora 32 has been released April 28th 2020 but VirtualBox link to repository has not been created.

I use VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.6_137129_fedora31_homemade-1.x86_64 since Fedora 32 Beta with just a home made modification in spec to match Python ABI version (see viewtopic.php?f=7&t=97491&p=475969#p473131 above).

It's easier to just use the .run file mentioned in my above comment. Everything is installed in /opt/VirtualBox and it has an uninstall script so it's easy to remove when a F32 RPM is available (probably when the next version of VB is out). See https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19537 for progress on building the RPM.

New VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.8_137981_fedora31-1.x86_64.rpm available since May15th does not install on Fedora 32.

Using rpmrebuild I had to modify requirement in spec file to replace "Requires: python(abi) = 3.7" by "Requires: python(abi) >= 3.7"

After this modification VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.8_137981 install and work like a charm !

Installed VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.10_138449_fedora32-1.x86_64.rpm on F32 and it seems to work fine. The F32 repo is also working.
