#10640 obsolete NAT relies on /etc/resolv.conf Danial Pearce
Description

I'm not filing this a major issue as it was just a deficiency I guess that I found when debugging something.

Basically, VirtualBox on a Linux host takes the nameservers from /etc/resolv.conf to pass onto the guest when using NAT. I assume it does some magic when one of those nameservers is 127.0.0.1, and it all works hunky dory, excellent job on that.

However, when using the resolvconf package, it is not required to have an /etc/resolv.conf file. You can setup resolvconf in a way that it creates a symlink for you, which AFAIK most distros will do this by default, but the host OS will still lookup DNS just fine without one. For example, the latest release of Linux Mint (maya / 13) on a default install does not have this symlink.

This in turn means VMs booted with NAT will not have DNS, since there was no /etc/resolv.conf file for VirtualBox to grok and offer that info to the guest via DHCP. I'm unsure how you are supposed to grok the DNS if it's not in a static file somewhere. There is some talk on the Mint forums that putting the symlink back in place would be a nice thing to do, but it had me wondering if maybe VirtualBox shouldn't rely on it being there if it's not a mandatory file.

Perhaps at a minimum, some kind of help/tooltip message when selecting NAT from the options if there is no /etc/resolv.conf file?

#10643 obsolete HOST key (Mac OS X right-CMD) still triggers (the Windows menu) on the guest system (Windows XP) Stefan Nowak
Description

This is my general preference:

Preferences > Input > Host-Key : RightCMD

In all 4 variations I tried, the app switching command on the host system Mac OS X (CMD-Tab) worked, but the CMD key seems to be not properly captured, as the Windows Menu still got triggered as an unwanted side effect.

Possible a problem of left/right CMD key redundancy? Probably related: #6289

Variations

Preferences > Input > Auto-capture keyboard OFF

  1. Focus on Windows Notepad
  2. LeftCMD-Tab to Finder
  3. Windows menu gets triggered
  1. Focus on Windows Notepad
  2. RightCMD (=HOST-key)
  3. LeftCMD-Tab to Finder
  4. Windows menu gets triggered

Preferences > Input > Auto-capture keyboard ON

  1. Focus on Windows Notepad
  2. LeftCMD-Tab to Finder. Does not bring up the Mac App Switcher, but removes focus from Windows Notepad to something else from Windows (not clear to me what).
  1. Focus on Windows Notepad

#10644 obsolete VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80BB0004) in version 4.1.16r78094 RGC
Description

I am on a windows 7 64 bit machine.

There are references to this problem being fixed previoulsy.

After downloading VB Manager I downloaded the Oracle_Developer_Day.ova and installed it WITHOUT a problem.

I then went to e-delivery.oracle.com and downloaded the Linux 5 (V32338-01_Linuz5.zip) and Linux 6 (V30328-01_Linux6.zip) VMs

BOTH of these fail with the above error, I also downloaded the previous build of both linux5 and linux6 from e-delivery and they also failed.

I tried uncompressing the ova file and installing from the ovf, that had same error. I have read a lot about modifying the ovf file but it is not clear what I should change.

I tried to convert the system.img to a WMDK, that failed C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe convertfromraw -format VMDK E:\OVM_OL5U8_x86_64_PVM\System.img C:\OAS1012\OAS1012.vmdk Converting from raw image file="E:OVM_OL5U8_x86_64_PVM\System.img" to file="C:\OAS1012\OAS1012.vmdk"... Creating dynamic image with size 802437059 bytes (766MB)... VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to write to disk image "C:\OAS1012\OAS1012.vmdk": VERR_IO_SECTOR_NOT_FOUND
