Description José Jorge 2011-05-18 21:13:11 CEST 
The OS list give a nice Icon according to the selected OS, and some hardware tweaks. There is Mandriva, but no Mageia. We should add or identity to the most used virtualizer in Linux.
Comment 1 Ahmad Samir 2011-05-18 21:49:45 CEST 
Upstream bug, it doesn't have a Mageia in the list. Maybe we should ask upstream to add our distro to the list, our appeal will have a stronger ground after the first official release gets out there.

heh,

I started to create a patch for this to send upstream, but forgot to finalize it ... I'll see if I can dig it up.

Why not start by s/Mandriva/Mageia/ in http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/virtualbox/current/SOURCES/virtualbox-default-to-mandriva.patch?revision=1459&view=markup ?

Comment 4 Thomas Backlund 2011-05-24 10:06:01 CEST 
It's not enough.

That patch depends on existing Mageia support in virtualbox, 
something my patch will add.

Could you attach URL of the upstream BR?

"    status changed from new to closed.
    resolution set to wontfix.

As far as I know, Mageia is a variant on Mandriva, isn't it? The OS type is mainly to tell VirtualBox to adjust a few (very few) parameters to fit the guest it is to run, so selecting Mandriva should be quite good enough here. "
Comment 7 Thierry Vignaud 2011-08-25 15:37:25 CEST 
Thus my suggestion to use a variant of the mdv patch...

Comment 8 Thomas Backlund 2011-10-22 00:30:27 CEST 
I have added Mageia support in virtualbox-4.0.14-1.2.mga1 currently in core/updates_testing

I have added Mageia support in virtualbox-4.1.4-3.mga2 in Cauldron

I have also reopened the upstream ticket and added the patches and icons used in virtualbox-4.1.4-3.mga2 with a request for upstream inclusion.

So I consider this bug fixed.
