Could anyone tell me who is in charge of handling the initial configuration of Leap 15.3. As reported in bsc#1183125, an installation of Leap 15.3 in a VirtualBox VM does not install virtualbox-guest-x11 or virtualbox-guest-tools, and only suggests virtualbox-kmp-default. This behavior differs from that of previous versions which detected that the installation was under VirtualBox and installed these 3 additional packages.
This really should be done at a package level or possibly at pattern level (but probably not in this case). Because if someone does "zypper in virtualbox" post install ideally it should behave in the same manor so I suspect the best solution is for the virtualbox package to recommend these so that all users get the same consistent experience.
This is about installation in guest. So the guest should detect the hardware and install the appropriate driver. I think only the installer has any logic to do that, once installed it is up to the user to install the drivers for any new hardware. Thanks Michal
