#7793 obsolete the "New Virtual Machine Wizard" is too restrictive with names Sameer Sahasrabuddhe
Description

The wizard for creating new virtual machines uses the name to guess the OS for the intended guest. But the current behaviour disallows arbitrary names (at least on a Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit host). For example:

  1. Do not enter any name, and try to select the OS Type. Only the combination for Windows XP 32-bit guest is available in the drop-down menus.
  1. Enter a name starting with the letters "ub". The OS Type changes to Linux/Ubuntu. Now continue with an arbitrary string containing "64" (for example, "ubxx64"). The OS version changes to 64-bit and the 32-bit option is not available in the drop-down menu anymore.
  1. Now remove the string "64" from the name (earlier example changes to "ubxx"). Now the 64-bit version is reverted to 32-bit, and cannot be manually set to 64-bit since that option is no longer present in the drop-down menu.
  1. Cancel the current invocation of the wizard and start again (this is important). Now type the string "ub". The OS Type automatically changes to Ubuntu/Linux. Now continue typing "wi" (so that the machine name is "ubwi"). The OS Type changes back to Windows XP, and cannot be set to any other combination.

In conclusion, the wizard makes it impossible to have arbitrary names for various guest OS combinations. The name must contain specific strings that correspond to that combination.

#7799 obsolete Modules cannot be unloaded on Solaris 10 Laurent Blume
Description

On a patched Solaris 10U9, when trying to update from 3.2.10 to 3.2.12, the system refuses to unload the modules.

# modinfo | grep vbox
150 fffffffff04c9808    a90 226   1  vboxnet (VirtualBox NetAdp 3.2.10r66523)
152 fffffffff0524000  27db0  34   1  vboxdrv (VirtualBox HostDrv 3.2.10r66523)
216 fffffffff0e3c000   7230 227   1  vboxflt (VirtualBox NetDrv 3.2.10r66523)
216 fffffffff0e3c000   7230   -   1  vboxflt (VirtualBox NetMod 3.2.10r66523)

# modunload -i 150
can't unload the module: Device busy

# modunload -i 152
can't unload the module: Device busy

# modunload -i 216
can't unload the module: Device busy

VirtualBox was closed before starting to pkgrm, and after uninstall, ifconfig -a reports no vboxnet anymore. FWIW, the same happened when upgrading from 3.2.8 to 3.2.10 on a patched S10u8 at the time. I know a reboot will clear this, but it is not always practical to reboot only for a virtualBox upgrade.

#7800 obsolete TurboTax 2010 will not install, if guest additions are installed Robert E Laughlin
Description

I have successfully used VirtualBox since it first came out. This is the first problem that I have had with it. Since I haven't had a problem I did not know to make sure what log file showed the problem first. I am attaching four log files to this.

Host Fedora 13; Guest Windows XP (all updates): Guest Additions installed

This year TurboTax would not install. I tried repeatedly. I have access to another Windows XP so I tried to install TruboTax there and it worked. Then I had an idea. I created a new machine and loaded Windows XP. I did not install the Guest additions on the new machine. TurboTax install and ran just fine. I removed the machine, made another one, loaded the guest additions, and tried to load TurboTax. It did not install. I removed the machine, made another machine, loaded Windows XP, without the Guest Additions, and TurboTax installed and ran.just fine. I am moving every thing over to the new machine, so I can live with what I have. I just think that you should know about this.

The turbo tax error message is "1935 an error occurred during installation"

I hope that you can find this and correct it.

Bob Laughlin
