Hi All,
I was able to inststall virtual box.
First I had to do a "sudo pkg update" which downloaded about 600 MB and
then I had to reboot.
After that, when I did
pkg search virtualbox
This will do only local search, for search on repository try (or any
other package):
:; pkg search -r virtualbox
it found it and then I did
sudo pfexec pkg install virtualbox
Only sudo OR pfexec will be enough (I use later one).
This is where I am at now and it does not seem to have installed anything
into the Mate GUI so I am lookng around to see if there is some binary
executable somewhere.
:; which VirtualBox
/usr/bin/VirtualBox
Could be starting point.
I use RAW zfs for VB guest storage (based on
http://schlueters.de/blog/archives/137-ZFS-and-VirtualBox.html) which
(IMHO) speed guest
That's interesting, Predrag! I blogged about this setup recently
(https://dev.to/mnohime/use-raw-zfs-volume-for-virtualbox-guest-45jg)
and I found it incredibly slow, much slower (sic) than using VDI image.
I'd be interested in seeing how your setup performs: RAW ZFS v. VDI image.
I got a very nice comment in the post by Mike Gerdts about what might
went wrong in my setup, but I didn't have the time so far to investigate
his points.
Michal
