Yesterday the world changed with the introduction of Innotek's VirtualBox (dual-licensed under GPL and proprietary license).

I don't think it changed the world, but it's sure going to be a great change

Did you successfully build it from the sources? Here it could not find some linux header files :(

-- Gruß Andreas

What header files does it say you are missing, also did you download from SVN or did you download the "All Distributions" installation? -- Ben Kevan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

So please try it, if you like VMware and emulators in general. I seriously want this solution to be included in the main repository for openSUSE 10.3. Such high-quality OSS software, developed by a commercial company is a real rarity and a big asset for our community.

Tried it..

Anybody got the usb part of VirtualBox working on Suse? Usb/Suse/VM seems to be a bit difficult judging by google..

Other than that it looks (and behave) really nice.

I built an rpm for virtualbox which can be found here http://repos.opensuse.org/virtualization/ These packages are based on a svn snapshot from 20070203. Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

My boss ask me to lock msn. My answer was to fire this guy, but... ANyway I found some interesting way to do it: blockink port 1863 and using squid to prevent acces on port 80 for those pesty M$ server. But I can figure out how to block that port using 1863.

We use a different approach - set up dns zones on our dns servers for all the sites we don't want people to reach - msn, aim, etc all have dummy dns zones for which we declare ourselves authoritative internally, and populated with dns records which will not allow them to look up and connect to the services.

It seems that only the commercial version has usb support, as well access to local file systems. There are rumblings of adding some of this to the open source version. Nothing definite.

Usb/Suse/VM seems to be a bit difficult judging by google..

Other than that it looks (and behave) really nice.

How was the speed? Did it require kernel modules? I would imagine so. At least on SUSE where the kernel is before 2.6.20 with the new virtualization support. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

Speed seems to be good, I didn't really notice any significant slowdown compared to a real pc. No kernel modules required on 2.6.18. As far as I understand it usb is supported, but not with a deafult usbfs config on Suse..?

Or maybe it's that USB is supported in the closed source version, and not in the open source version. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That was what I was trying to say. Same for local file system access. And a few other items of less importance to me.

The version I have tried is the binary only, which is the full version.. -- The best way to accelerate a computer running Windows is at 9.81 m/s² -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
