#17075 obsolete Vbox 5.1.26 Virtualbox GUI does not show on Solaris 5.10 Ming H
Description

After upgraded from 5.1.22 to 5.1.26 at the global zone, ran Virtualbox and there was no GUI show on CDE.

The Solaris 10 information is shown below:

Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 s10x_u11wos_24a X86

Copyright (c) 1983, 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Assembled 17 January 2013

Tried few same version of Solaris x86, the GUI did not show. And, it is a showstopper.

#17073 fixed VBox won't even begin booting if Host Audio Driver is set to Windows DirectSound pentagonik Bubbie
Description

I have combed through many existing bug reports and forum posts and haven't found any that match the symptoms I observe exactly. The other similar tickets are for different hosts (both Mac OS and GNU/Linux), whereas I'm on Windows 7 x64.

Given that this seems to be an audio-related problem, I attempted to follow the steps described at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/AudioDebug , but I don't see "Audio: Verbose logging enabled" in the log, despite what looks to be the correct output when I attempt to confirm the change:

C:\>echo %VBOX_RELEASE_LOG%
drv_host_audio.e.l.l2.l3.f+drv_audio.e.l.l2.l3.f+audio_mixer.e.l.l2.l3.f+dev_hda_codec.e.l.l2.l3.f+dev_hda.e.l.l2.l3.f+dev_ac97.e.l.l2.l3.f

(I will keep working on this and update the ticket if and when I'm able to capture verbose output.)

The guest boots if I uncheck "Enable Audio" in Settings, and likewise if I leave "Enable Audio" checked but change Host Audio Driver from "Windows DirectSound" to "Null Audio Driver".

Oddly, if I reboot the host computer, the problem doesn't occur immediately, but recurs within some period of time. I wish I knew what caused it to start happening. Once the problem happens, I cannot boot the guest successfully until I disable the audio or reboot the host.

Please let me know if I can provide any other information.

Thanks in advance!

#17066 duplicate Universal host-to-guest paste pylo
Description

VirtualBox currently provides a shared clipboard feature. However, this has some shortcomings:

  • It requires the installation of a graphical server -> clipboard is non-functional in any CLI-only environment, like servers
  • It assumes that the guest additions have been already ported to your guest -> clipboard is non-functional in some guests, like OpenBSD
  • It requires the installation of extra software, the guest additions -> sometimes people just don't want to or can't

I propose a VirtualBox feature to enable universal host-to-guest text pasting. It is possible to do this without guest support, in a way such that it would work on any guest.

Suggested implementation:

  1. To activate pasting, user has to click VirtualBox menu item Input->"Paste to guest". This would be a new menu item added for this feature. In addition (for better ease of use), a Host-key combination can also be reserved for this.
  2. Upon activation, VirtualBox reads any text content from the host clipboard, and sends each character through the virtual keyboard to the guest as if entered by the user manually.
  3. Optionally, "Paste to guest" could detect if the guest has guest additions with a working clipboard, and only fall back to this new feature if not.

The only complexity that can arise is that the virtual keyboard might not be able to handle all characters. VirtualBox should know the layout of the attached virtual keyboard (this can be made settable through the already existing VM Input Settings), and translate characters from the clipboard to keys and key-combinations through the layout. Untranslatable characters would be ignored.

Limitation: Pasting text this way would mostly not work for some asian languages, or for some latin characters if keyboard layout is wrongly set. I argue though that servers around the world use mostly ASCII-only characters (sometimes extended, but mostly basic ASCII), so for a very large user base would still be extremely useful.
