hi all,
I have installed VBox 6.1 (see thread: "Virtualbox 6.1.0 on OI - almost
compiles":
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]&q=subject:%22%5C%5BOpenIndiana%5C-discuss%5C%5D+VirtualBox%22&o=newest&f=1).
Then have started (w/o problems) Win10 guest - before starting changed
Video driver to VMSVGA from VboxSVGA as suggested)
But:
* Could not install VBoxGuestAdditions at all - it dies (see attachment)
* After failure of Guest Additions installation, almost everything
freezes and hangs
* no way to test seamless or anything else
Reverted to working BE/VBox 6.0.14 - then faced another set of problems:
* Guest Additions roll-back has failed
* Had to remove "\OS DIsk\Program File\Oracle\VirtualBox Guest
Additions" directory in order to finish additions installation
* Still have performance issues after "recovering". I might need to
re-install guest now
Maybe I did something wrong, not sure.
Also, if that matters, I am using BE with NVIDIA driver from their site
(not OI one) for "NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 730]" card:

So, in my case, it is far away from successful upgrade.
With best regards.
