x86_64 OK here, on both our latest update and backport 5 kernels.


Hardware:  My venerable workstation "svarten": Mainboard: Sabertooth P67, CPU: i7-3770, RAM 16G, GM107 [GeForce GTX 750] using nvidia-current; GeForce 635 series and later, 4k display.

First, using VB6 i cloned a backup of my valuable guest.

used drakrpm. from core_updates_testing:
- lib64tpms0-0.9.1-1.mga8.x86_64
- virtualbox-7.0.2-1.mga8.x86_64
- virtualbox-kernel-5.15.74-desktop-1.mga8-7.0.2-1.mga8.x86_64
- virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest-7.0.2-1.mga8.x86_64
 
reboot, to kernel 5.15.74-desktop-1

VB7 do not need an oracle extension pack for USB2 and some other stuff. ( Recently I added info to https://wiki.mageia.org/en/VirtualBox#Oracle_extension_pack_.28optional.29 - please check )
Tried using the GUI ( Tools > Extension Pack Manager ) to remove the GUI to remove the extension pack, but it failed. Form the error message I got the failing command, which I tried in Konsole:

$ /usr/lib64/virtualbox/VBoxExtPackHelperApp --stdout /tmp/VBoxExtPackHelper-gnv2jp/stdout --stderr /tmp/VBoxExtPackHelper-gnv2jp/stderr --elevated uninstall --base-dir /usr/lib64/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks --name 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack'
VBoxExtPackHelperApp: error: freopen on '/tmp/VBoxExtPackHelper-gnv2jp/stdout': VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

I stripped it down and launhed it using sudo, worked:
$ sudo /usr/lib64/virtualbox/VBoxExtPackHelperApp --elevated uninstall --base-dir /usr/lib64/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks --name 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack'



___Guests are OK, running concurrently:

Guest 1: my usual MSW7pro-64. It found it needed to update guest additions, which I let it download, OK. But next step, installing, it got stuck at 82% (according to a VB7 new popup message overlay at right edge in guest)  Tried again, and it worked.  I rebooted the guest, and verified it say guest additions version 7.02.
Tests OK: dynamic guest window resizing, bidirectional clipboard, host shared folders both bidirectional and write protection checked, USB2 memory stick read&write (note: without extension pack.) USB2 chip programmer Conitec Galep-5, video playing OK in Firefox, drag file from host Dolphin to guest Explorer. As with VB6 the reverse direction did not work.  Windows update (virus def).

Guest 2: BOINC LHC@home ATLAS simulation virtual machine 3CPU.

Guest 3: Mageia 8 -64, Xfce, kernel 5.19.16-desktop-1.mga8
Tests OK: I let drakrpm fetch the updated guest additions, and regular updates, reboot.  Firefox surfing and plays video. Plugged in USB flash stick in host, checked it in VritualBox guest window frame menu to share, the partitions icons popped up on xfce desktop, and I could read and put new files. Bidirectional shared clipboard. Dynamic desktop resizing.

Updated kmod for the backport kernel:
$ LC_ALL=C sudo urpmi.update 'Core Backports Testing' && LC_ALL=C sudo urpmi --search-media 'Core Backports Testing' virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest
and rebooted to 5.19.16-desktop-1.mga8

Tried all guests like above, all OK (this time not needing addition updates of course)

The following 5 packages are going to be installed:

- lib64qt5help5-5.15.2-2.mga8.x86_64
- lib64tpms0-0.9.1-1.mga8.x86_64
- virtualbox-7.0.2-1.mga8.x86_64
- virtualbox-kernel-5.15.74-desktop-1.mga8-7.0.2-1.mga8.x86_64
- virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest-7.0.2-1.mga8.x86_64

No installation issues. No problems removing the old extension pack with the gui, once I found the button that did it.

Ran a Windows 7 guest, downloaded and inserted guest additions with the gui. Shared folders worked OK.

This host has usb 2.0 ports, but also has an extension card providing two usb 3.0 ports. I put an exfat-formatted usb stick into one of the extra ports, and it was immediately recognized by Windows, and the antimalware program wanted to scan it for malware. I let it go for long enough to ensure that it was being read, and aborted it.

That's as far as I have gone, so far.

Hi, Updated in MGA8-X86_64. No issues for the moment.

I have three Vbox machines and works fine. Three Mageia versions and others linux distros and all works.

I have installed the Vbox guest additions from website and ok usb 2.0 and 3.0

Greetings!

Virtualbox 7.0.x has regressions. It doesn't run earlier created Windows XP and Windows 2k guests.

See:

I can confirm, that virtualbox-7.0.2-1.mga8.x86_64 package has this issue as well.
