| #11164 | obsolete | Error message needs to be dramatically improved when installing extpack with VBoxManage | ||
| Description |
$ VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.4-81684.vbox-extpack 0%... Progress state: NS_ERROR_FAILURE VBoxManage: error: Failed to install "/tmp/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.4-81684.vbox-extpack" VBoxManage: error: The installer failed with exit code 127: Error creating textual authentication agent: Error opening current controlling terminal for the process (`/dev/tty'): No such device or address VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component ExtPackManager, interface IExtPackManager VBoxManage: error: Context: "int handleExtPack(HandlerArg*)" at line 1112 of file VBoxManageMisc.cpp This is meaningless. The problem: it needs to be ran as root. The application really should have the intelligence to check for root access and report a more meaningful message than the above. |

| #11165 | worksforme | Please make it easier to mount the Additions ISO via VBoxManage => Fixed in SVN | ||
| Description |
After installing VBox from the .deb the Additions ISO is stored in /usr/share/virtualbox. I did not know this, however, and had to find it myself. It would be more user friendly if I could simply issue a command to mount this automatically: "VBoxManage additions "My VM" mountiso" |

| #11166 | wontfix | Please include the extpack in the apt repository | ||
| Description |
Not really specific to Debian distros: Updating VBox is fairly easy thanks to the apt repository. Unfortunately the extpack has to be manually downloaded and installed every time. This could be solved by packaging the extpack. Users could then choose to "apt-get install virtualbox-extpack" or something similar, and not have to mess about with each new release. |
