I believe libvirt is capable of managing VirtualBox based VMs as well, but the 
official UI is definitely superior if you're only managing a single host.

If you haven't used it in a while, note that Oracle has changed the license on 
their extensions such that any activity with even the faintest hint of 
educational or commercial purposes now requires purchasing a license.  Last I 
looked the minimum purchase quantity was about $10,000 worth.

You need to make sure the headless use-flag is disabled and the qt5
useflag is enabled if you want the GUI.

Kind regards, tastytea


Thanks, qt5 was disabled. It works now.

You need to be a bit more specific about what you want to do. The
"VirtualBox" command launches the VirtualBox manager.  Are you saying
it didn't get installed for you?  I'm not aware of any other UI for
it.  I don't know if you just made a typo - but the command is not
VurtualBox, it's VirtualBox.

Jack


Yes, the VirtualBox command is missing. "VurtualBox" was typo.

Thanks

Hi,

I didn't use VirtualBox for a while and I find out that virtualbox-bin 
package has dissapeard. So I've installed virtualbox 6.1.22 but there's 
missing VurtualBox command to tun graphical management. Is there other 
UI for VirutalBox?


Thanks
