I've been working on fixing the build of the VirtualBox guest modules in Tails 1.1.
ticket: 5972 branch: bugfix/fix_virtualbox_dkms_build Summary: - Good news: The build is fixed, way less hackish, and that was easy. - Bad news: The modules don't work :( When I say the modules don't work I mean that `VBoxClient --display`, and `VBoxClient --clipboard` don't activate the resizable display and shared clipboard. But the shared folders work. So that seems like a error with X11, not with the modules themselves. I tried to remove the hook config/chroot_local-hooks/98-remove_unwanted_files in order to keep all the udev rules, and stuff installed by the DKMS. Then the amnesia user was allowed to start VBoxClient --display but the symptoms were the same: nothing. I tried the same version of the modules and the kernel on another freshly installed Wheezy VM and they worked. Even more weird, I tried to start this working VM with that last ISO image and the resizing worked! Then I tried to create another fresh VM from scratch with no disk and started it from that ISO image and the resizing didn't work. I tried to compare the config file for both VMs and didn't find anything relevant. There's some serious VirtualBox black magic going on in here. That goes beyond what I can handle right now. Anyway, I'm absolutely not sure I'll be able to fix that before the freeze. I'd rather concentrate on the documentation upgrades. So if any VirtualBox user want to have a look... -- sajolida
