I thought they were https://www.illumos.org/issues/9822 https://www.illumos.org/issues/9823 https://www.illumos.org/issues/9824 and those were all merged early January 2019, so they are in 2019.04 snapshot.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Virtualbox on OpenIndiana Hipster?
Hi Carl Yes that was a mistake from my side I was confusing the install-incorporation with metapackages/gui-install which installs the Installer into the live system.

You should also be able to update your system to bring it to the newest version: pkg update -v You should be aware of the intended behavior of the userland-incorporation: it should force you to update your whole system because that is what is tested/guaranteed to work (in theory). What you now have is an uncommon/unintended situation: you can update only parts of your system (that what happened when you installed virtualbox now). But you should run "pkg update" also. BTW: It would be interesting to also try to install entire and userland-incorporation (after pkg update && init 6). You will probably see package that cannot be updated (and thus prohibit the installation of entire and userland-incorporation). Maybe you can find the real original culprit within these. ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

How important are Spectre, Meltdown, etc for a system behind a firewall which does not allow inbound traffic and does not run programs downloaded from the internet? My view for many years is that the browsers are so bad that all that is left is the barn door. All the other walls are long gone. The stuff I really care about is entirely unconnected and all I move back and forth is plain ASCII.

In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Virtualbox on OpenIndiana Hipster?,...: I run 5.2.12 on 2017.10 without significant problems. While what Reg is saying is true, there are some really important caveats that people new to OI need to be aware of. Versions of OI like Reg is talking about pre-date the fixes for Spectre, Meltdown, and other speculative execution issues. When fixes for those issues landed in OI, they effectively broke the Oracle-compiled VirtualBox package. Installing the Oracle binary package on modern OI is fairly likely to eventually cause a host crash. See the thread that starts with [1]. If you're running OI with a kernel from the last year and you want Virtualbox, you should be using the OI package, which is installable directly from the openindiana.org repo with 'pkg'. That package works with the post-Spectre/Meltdown kernel. See Alexander's original announcement in this thread [2]. The version of VirtualBox that's now current in OI is 6.0.8 [3]: I use that package daily from OI, with very good results. Audio works, shared folders work, shared clipboard works. The only feature I miss from the old builds is USB passthrough, but I haven't missed it enough yet to spend time debugging it. 1: https://openindiana.org/pipermail/openindiana-discuss/2018-July/022251.html 2: https://openindiana.org/pipermail/openindiana-discuss/2018-December/022611.html 3: https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/pull/5012 Tim -- Tim Mooney tim.moo...@ndsu.edu Enterprise Computing & Infrastructure 701-231-1076 (Voice) Room 242-J6, Quentin Burdick Building 701-231-8541 (Fax) North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND 58105-5164 ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Hi,
Vb 6.0.x is in hipster repos. With oracle extension, usb and shared folders
works just fine.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Virtualbox on OpenIndiana Hipster?
I run 5.2.12 on 2017.10 without significant problems. USB and CDROM access is unreliable, so I use images on disk. It's a bit of a nuisance, but it lets me use the scanner in the Brother 3 in 1 without a lot of hassle and I can run various fairly lightweight electronic design programs which are Windows only. For heavy stuff like the Xilinx Vivado FPGA tools I had to go back to using a physical machine. I had VBox crash 2019.04 when I installed them for a friend a few weeks ago. I did not pursue the matter as I was visiting from out of town and didn't have time. VBox support is very Windows centric, so it's hard to find anyone there that knows anything at all about OI. I was favorably impressed by the Hipster install *except* for the stupid business of expiring the root password that you just set the first time you login as root. That resulted in the password being reset to something else which I could not remember when I was asked on the phone a couple of days ago when my friend called just as he was getting ready to drive from Denver to Ontario.

Hi, Geoff, On Fri, 2012-03-23 at 19:33 -0700, Geoff Nordli wrote: It would think vbox running on an illumos host would work pretty well since I assume Oracle runs their VDI solution on Solaris. Do we think there is going to be a lot of difference between Solaris and Illumos? When last I checked with the developers, the primary Unix development platform for VirtualBox is Ubuntu. I'd be really surprised if Oracle was trying to position Solaris, which is sold on high-margin hardware, for a commodity deployment scenario like VDI hosting. Solaris's pricing model and hardware constraint fairly effectively limit it to the kind of fat trunk stuff around which the rest of Oracle's business is based, which I think is a shame, as the kind of general-purpose load you see from running on leaf nodes is what an OS should be able to do. For Oracle, though, that lacks a bit too much in the obvious cha-ching factor to have management take risks. I'd say it's hard to tell the difference between the positioning and sales model Oracle's given Solaris and what IBM does with AIX, and I don't mean that to flatter either one. Both sell IT to equity analysts, not customers, so nothing's interesting if it doesn't have an obvious 65% margin on it. /rant So what you are leaning towards is running Illumos as a guest is that right? I'm leaning against using it as a guest for systems development. As Milan's indicated elsewhere, people may be willing to pay what looks like a VBox tax for more modest compile loads, where you don't have to pay out in large lumps. I wouldn't want to deal with the order of magnitude loss of speed to compile something like illumos or gcc with it.

Thanks Bayard. It would think vbox running on an illumos host would work pretty well since I assume Oracle runs their VDI solution on Solaris.

BTW if anyone needs help testing/QA vbox on something let me know. I am not a kernel developer, but I can run tests and file bug reports. have a great weekend!

This is entirely an assumption on my part but I would venture to guess that he's referring to running OI in a VirtualBox VM for use as a build environment for Ilumos and OI -- not for general purpose server use or smaller source compilations. -Gary ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Been running VBox on OI 151a for about half a year (on an HP MicroServer) with 4 linux VMs inside (Debian 32/64, CentOS 32/64) without any issues whatsoever. For Solaris development I use zones instead of VBox (faster, cheaper to run). -- Saso ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

I noticed some comments from Bayard on the list about how vbox was completely unusable for development. Bayard's post wasn't 100% clear, but I understood he was referring to someone having an OS that handles the hardware, and then running OI inside of VirtualBox, VMware etc. I haven't done any benchmarks so can't speak of performance, but I do get occasional lockups of the OI instance running in VBox. Lockups of other OSes I run in the same VBox setup are rare. While for what I do it's not a deal-breaker, I can understand how if I wanted to use OI inside of VBox for my daily desktop, it would be nerve-wracking.
