Re: vbox-svn: VMM is broken: black screen on VM boot

Try public r41256. Should be fixed.

Well, the bug is *sometimes* reproducible, not 100%.

Re: vbox-svn: VMM is broken: black screen on VM boot

Frank Mehnert — 2012-05-15T07:21:11

Just tested this revision, it works fine here (Debian/Squeeze guest).
But you might want to update to the latest revision and try again.

Kind regards,

Frank

No.
.vmc was never supported.

vbox-svn: VMM is broken: black screen on VM boot

Alexey Eromenko — 2012-05-14T21:43:11

Trying to boot Linux guests: no go.
The GRUB doesn't show up.
Stage 1 works, says "GRUB is loading", but stage 1.5 shows black screen.

Host: Debian 6.0 x64, Intel Core i7 2600K, VBox-OSE SVN r41254 (4.2 alpha).
Guests: Debian 6.0 and 7.0.

Tried both VT-x = on and VT-x = off, no effect.
Sometimes it does boot, but more often than not: black screen.

Re: USB in SVN not working

Frank Mehnert — 2012-05-14T21:39:36

Yes, remove the

  <ShowLicense/>

statement from VNC/ExtPack.xml.

Kind regards,

Frank

While we are at it.  Is there a way to remove the license agreement for 
the self compiled VNC package since this is open source?

Actually we are using the operating system values from the OVF/OVA 
standard.  I think we are still missing a few and I seem to recall that 
we have one or two additions ones (OS X Server 64bit?)

Yeah quite long ago, but they wanted to "clean" the OS list up before...
Indeed it doesn't seem very scalable.

*DOH* Was that in a previous patch sent to the list?

Re: Fuduntu distribution patch

Andrew Wyatt — 2012-05-14T12:07:05

That's a good question, the only thing I gleaned from the Wiki was that 
these sorts of contributions were welcomed. :D

Re: USB in SVN not working

Frank Mehnert — 2012-05-14T11:57:56

Hi Perry,

I've checked this issue again and now I can reproduce it. No idea
what I've tested before, sorry for that!

This is indeed a recent regression and will be fixed ASAP, I will
let you know.

Thanks for your heads-up,

Frank

Quite nice to see patches to support new OSes out there :)

What's the general policy ? (considering there are like 400+ distributions...)

Hey, those values are already reserved for Haiku! :DDD

The Wiki said send it to the list, guess that's not the best idea since 
it looks like it trimmed it.

Here is a URL instead. :)

Fuduntu distribution patch

Andrew Wyatt — 2012-05-13T15:10:44

Hi everyone, I wanted to submit a patch that I worked up today that adds 
Fuduntu to the list of menu choices.  For the moment it is basically a 
copy of Fedora with our logo but that could change in the future as we 
diverge. :)

Error while starting Virtual Box:NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED

Jaikumar G — 2012-05-11T22:39:19

So I had to move the frontend outside the vbox installation directory along
with relevant .so files that it complained about when trying to run it.

When I tried to start it, I get the following error:

Code NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0x80040154) - Class not registered
(extended info not available)
Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running or failed to start.

This fails in the following line: createLocalObject(CLSID_VirtualBox).

Everything works fine when the frontend is run from the bin directory
inside the virtual box location (built from sources).

Any idea what I am missing ? A search on the internet and the archives
didn't bring up anything.

Thanks

What's the license used by rdpweb in SDK?

Edison Su — 2012-05-11T22:38:09

Hi All,
      I am looking at integrating VRDP web client into our project, which is licensed under Apache, but not sure what's the license used by rdpweb. 
      The SDK says:
      " The sample code files shipped with the SDK are generally licensed liberally to make it easy for anyone to use this code for their own application code." And "When in doubt, please refer to the individual source code files shipped with this SDK."
      But I don't find license info under sdk/rdpweb/sample or inside files under sdk/rdpweb/sample. 
      Could anybody tell me which license used by rdpweb, specifically for files:
        sdk/rdpweb/sample/RDPClientUI.swf | webclient.js |webclient3.html?
     Thanks!

Re: USB in SVN not working

Perry Halbert — 2012-05-11T14:38:24

This started happening sometime after ExtPack VNC was enabled in the 
build but not right away.  It worked as it should for a while with VNC 
and with USB.  See pipermail link below.  Could this be a reason for the 
issue now?

https://www.virtualbox.org/pipermail/vbox-dev/2012-March/005001.html

It should be noted that there are no build errors as such except the 
normal errors about hard links.
