Description Thomas Backlund 2021-01-21 00:18:58 CET
VirtualBox 6.1.18 maintenance release
* official support for kernel 5.10

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog-6.1#v18

Also some packaging changes:
- I have switched it over to use proper native systemd services.
- wired up vboxdrmclient so vm window autoresize works



To check:
- if you on host had old virtualbox init script enabled, the new vboxhost service should get automatically enabled on upgrade...
- if you on guest had old vboxadd-timesync enabled, the new vboxguest service should get automatically enabled on upgrade...

@James:

did the vboxhost and vboxguest systemd services get automatically enabled on mha7 host and guest  ?
Comment 4 Dave Hodgins 2021-01-22 21:56:36 CET
Just installed on an mga7 x86_64 install that did not previously have it.
The vboxhost.service is enabled on installation, but not started.
Should it be?

On the host system:

systemctl status vboxhost
● vboxhost.service - VirtualBox host kernel driver loader
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxhost.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (exited) since Thu 2021-01-21 07:45:51 GMT; 1 day 23h ago

Note that the time reported above is when I installed 5.10.8-desktop-2.mga7 and not the time that I updated virtualbox:

rpm -qa --last | less | grep kernel-desktop
kernel-desktop-5.10.8-2.mga7-1-1.mga7.x86_64  Thu 21 Jan 2021 07:42:28 GMT

rpm -qa --last | less | grep virtualbox
virtualbox-6.1.18-1.mga7.x86_64               Fri 22 Jan 2021 16:03:06 GMT



On the mga7-32 guest, for some reason that I can no longer remember I've been using the Oracle iso and not the mga additions packages. The Oracle iso did not seem to provide the systemd files, although so far as I could tell everything was working fine.

Thanks, theat confirms the trigger for enabling it on upgrade works
Comment 8 Dave Hodgins 2021-01-23 22:17:22 CET
Confirming the service is enabled in the guest, and no regressions found.
Adding the ok tag and validating the update.
