| #1764 | obsolete | OSX: Full screen doesn't play nicely with Spaces | ||
| Description |
One very useful feature of VMware Fusion is that I can drag VMs around between Spaces (after pressing F8, the Spaces shortcut) even when they're running in full screen mode. Pressing F8 with when VBox is running just causes its full screen VMs to disappear from view altogether. This is bad form even if you're not going to let users drag VMs around. |

| #1765 | fixed | Encrypted virtual disk | ||
| Description |
Can VirtualBox encrypt virtual disks. The code is all out there, and well understood. Linux drivers for example exist to use a pass phrase to encrypt block devices. I wonder if that could be integrated into VirtualBox so that all guests running on any host can benefit. One use case for VirtualBox is when using a work laptop for private purposes, say reading email, playing the odd game etc. A good way to do this is to install your favourite OS in a VirtualBox, and to encrypt it in-case of loss or even worse, an audit! This way you avoid the potential problems of installing your own software on a work machine. So, possible? Probable? |

| #1767 | fixed | Linux installer fails if there is a tape drive => Fixed in 1.6.4 | ||
| Description |
Hi, Linux installer (install.sh script) assumes that there is no tape drive on the host system. When there is one, root account typically has $TAPE defined: bash-3.1# echo $TAPE /dev/tape This is where tar is looking by default. For some reason, installer does not use `-f' (which it should, to avoid ambiquity), when trying to untar itself, and the result is the following error: bash-3.1# sh VirtualBox-1.6.2-Linux_x86.run Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing VirtualBox for Linux installation........ VirtualBox Version 1.6.2 (Sat May 31 04:03:49 CEST 2008) installation Removing previous installation of VirtualBox 1.6.0 from /opt/VirtualBox-1.6.0 Installing VirtualBox to /opt/VirtualBox-1.6.2 tar: /dev/tape: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Error installing VirtualBox. Installation aborted Easy (and ugly) fix would be to add one line at the beginning of the script: [ -z $TAPE ] || unset TAPE Proper fix would be the one below: bash-3.1# diff install.sh install.sh.fixed 261c261 < bzip2 -d -c VirtualBox.tar.bz2 | tar -t > $CONFIG_DIR/$CONFIG_FILES --- > bzip2 -d -c VirtualBox.tar.bz2 | tar -tf - > $CONFIG_DIR/$CONFIG_FILES 267c267 < log 'Error running "bzip2 -d -c VirtualBox.tar.bz2 | tar -t > '"$CONFIG_DIR/$CONFIG_FILES"'".' --- > log 'Error running "bzip2 -d -c VirtualBox.tar.bz2 | tar -tf - > '"$CONFIG_DIR/$CONFIG_FILES"'".' 272c272 < bzip2 -d -c VirtualBox.tar.bz2 | tar -x -C $INSTALLATION_DIR --- > bzip2 -d -c VirtualBox.tar.bz2 | tar -xf - -C $INSTALLATION_DIR 281c281 < log 'Error running "bzip2 -d -c VirtualBox.tar.bz2 | tar -x -C '"$INSTALLATION_DIR"'".' --- > log 'Error running "bzip2 -d -c VirtualBox.tar.bz2 | tar -xf - -C '"$INSTALLATION_DIR"'".' |
