Re: [gentoo-user] virtualbox - access from host to geusts network

Such as the following form:

host is gentoo. win7 is the guest in VirtualBox.
using the VBox extension I connect the USB Dongle to win7 and
use it to make a connection to internet.
so it would be like this:
gentoo <- vbox <- win7 <- USB Dongle <- WIFI router

In fact its a temporary measure to make up for poor linux support in our

[gentoo-user] VirtualBox 5.0.14

2016-02-05 Thread Peter Humphrey 
Hello list,

Since VirtualBox was upgraded from 4.3.32 to 5.0.14 recently, I've been 
getting a little transient notice panel on my KDE4 screen saying something 
like "the virtualbox kernel service is... [not running]".

I found this article [1] with a suggested fix, but it didn't. The /dev/vbox* 
permissions changed as shown in the article when I created the udev/rules.d 
file suggested, but that didn't change any behaviour.

My WinXP guest runs happily in its virtual box, but the Atlas BOINC client, 
which downloads a VirtualBox client to operate in, reports communication 
failure.

The vbox log is attached.

Does anyone have a fix for this?

I've seen similar messages when the guest is running an older version
of virtualbox guest additions.  Is your XP guest still running 4.3.32?

I'm wondering if the problem is only with BOINC.  Do you still see the
pop-up notice if you don't even try to run BOINC?

BTW, have you tried this:

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_BOINC_on_Gentoo

I haven't, but I tried downloading the generic linux BOINC installer
and of course it wanted a gtk library I've never heard of.
