Virtualbox Upgrade from 5.0 > 5.1 - howto

  • Folks,


    as trying to install Win10 as guest-os and stucking with boot-error even on upgrade for Win7-VM, I read several posts about updating to VBox 5.1.


    In the past I managed to install Vbox 5.0 along this thread.


    I think I would manage to rewrite the vb5_install.sh to download the newest files, even use already downloaded files. But what about the "virtualbox-extpack-installer_5.0.2_all.deb" - I didn't found any working package.



    Does anyone manage to install VBox 5.1 onto latest OMV 2.x?


    Regards.

    Auch das geht vorbei ...

    You would need the packages for 5.1.x and I haven't tried building the virtualbox 5.1 packages on OMV 2.x. I did build virtualbox 5.1.26 for OMV 3.x though. I recommend installing OMV 3.x.

  • Well I guessed you might write this ;)


    Do I need "virtualbox-extpack-installer_5.x.y_all.deb"? In case I add the ExtPack manually would that help?


    Is it possible in OMV3 to initiate automatic updates for VBox?

    Do you need it for what? Are you trying to install the 3.x packages on 2.x? Either way, the plugin depends on the virtualbox-ext-pack-installer package even if you install the extpack manually.

    Nope. Why would you want to? The update should show up in the OMV Updates tab. Updating works best when all VMs are shut down as well.

  • ryecoaaron,


    thanx for your help. Due to EOM of OMV2 I try to move to OMV3 - hopefully I can solve those minor issues. I need to get up vbox for running a headless vdr-server.


    regards
