[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 348497] Re: Pulling Xorg virtualbox support by default
I don't think there is much benefit in including the vbox video driver without the kernel module. However in oneiric Jockey will detect the virtualbox guest additions. ** Changed in: virtualbox-ose (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348497 Title: Pulling Xorg virtualbox support by default ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 348497] Re: Pulling Xorg virtualbox support by default
I think kvm and virtualbox support rather different use cases: * kvm for serious server virtualization by people who know what they are doing * virtualbox for easy desktop virtualization for end users who do not care about how it works underneath and will probably only want one or two simultaneous VMs per host machine. If Ubuntu is effectively rejecting virtualbox in favor of kvm, work needs to be done to make kvm much easier to set up and use for common desktop/GUI VM use. Is there a blueprint for a GUI for kvm that is at least as easy to use for end users on a desktop machine as virtualbox? Or does such a GUI exist already? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348497 Title: Pulling Xorg virtualbox support by default ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 348497] Re: Pulling Xorg virtualbox support by default
The problem is that the vbox guest kernel modules are not part of the mainline kernel which means they can't be installed by default. However for oneiric I'll try to get them installed when you select the third-party software checkbox in the installer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348497 Title: Pulling Xorg virtualbox support by default ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 348497] Re: Pulling Xorg virtualbox support by default
I talked with Dustin about this at UDS. KVM is the preferred standard default for virtualization. virtualbox is currently a universe component, and it would need to be included in main before we could consider including support for it for X by default. Further, giving the large number of vbox X bug reports we've seen, I would want to see a vbox person identified to handle all these bug reports as I unfortunately wouldn't have time to give them adequate attention myself. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Won't Fix -- Pulling Xorg virtualbox support by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348497 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

There is an xserver task here in that xserver needs to automatically detect and use the 'vboxvideo' driver when VirtualBox Graphics Adapter [80ee:beef] is present.
