During the installation of VirtualBox 3.2.8 downloaded from virtualbox.org (newer version than what's available at opensolaris.org/dev) I noticed a postinstall script error about USB support being disabled because it could not determine the OpenSolaris "snv" version. The workaround is to unpack the package # pkgtrans VirtualBox-3.2.8-SunOS-r64453.pkg . (note the "." at the end of the command) which extracts the package into a directory called SUNWvbox. Edit SUNWvbox/reloc/opt/VirtualBox/vboxconfig.sh and replace all references to "snv" with "oi". Reinstall virtualbox, from the modified directory (not from the pkg file) # pkgrm SUNWvbox # pkgadd -d . SUNWvbox now there is an error about vboxconfig.sh not matching size and checksum. Edit SUNWvbox/pkgmap and fix the size and checksum of vboxconfig.sh (the installer tells you the new values) reinstall again # pkgrm SUNWvbox # pkgadd -d . SUNWvbox I don't really know if USB support actually works but at least there are no errors during installation and virtualbox runs ok. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
