Hi,

I have been VirtualBox 5.2.14 since it came out without any issues until I performed a pkg update on 22nd July. Everytime I perform a pkg update I always specify a new boot environment, so last update which VirtualBox 5.2.14 worked on is the one I performed on the 12th July. I have made this BE activate so I do not have to remember to select it on boot.

I think it might be the "eager FPU" changes which landed in illumos-gate on June 13th:

https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/commit/4c28a617e3922d92a58e813a5b955eb526b9c386 https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/commit/a32a1f376ed9360264e4a374608fdcc5c4927d63

It's reported to the authors of those patches at https://github.com/joyent/smartos-live/issues/792.

I don't know of a workaround apart from sticking to versions before the change.

Michal

Hi all,

just quick update on this: there were some changes in illumos, back (in July, I presume) which have messed up run of VirualBox package (solaris one, from virtualbox.org site, which is still running on old BE from July 6th, 2018).

I have tried with OI /hipster update last time and as I have started VBox guest, system has crashed (I can provide core dump if required - I was reading it, but not sure what is causing problems).
BTW, almost latest VBox (5.2.16) is running fine on mentioned BE:
$ uname -rosv
SunOS 5.11 illumos-229852ddf2 illumos


I have tried to compile VBox from source and after some tweaks, managed to get it compiled w/o errors, but it simply does not start (did not have time to do deeper analysis):
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/qt/5.8/lib/amd64 ./VirtualBox

caused error:
---<snip>---
Failed to create the VirtualBoxClient COM object.
The application will now terminate.

[Callee RC: NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0x80040154)]
---</snip>---

Till Wegmüller asked if I can boot VBox guest in qemu - not investigated although it is an option - I would like to stay at VirtualBox!

Does anyone knows how to solve this problem (failure of VBox prevents me from OI upgrade).

With best regards.
