[gentoo-user] VirtualBox UI

[pat]

Hi,

I didn't use VirtualBox for a while and I find out that virtualbox-bin 
package has dissapeard. So I've installed virtualbox 6.1.22 but there's 
missing VurtualBox command to tun graphical management. Is there other 
UI for VirutalBox?

Thanks

Pat

You need to be a bit more specific about what you want to do. The 
"VirtualBox" command launches the VirtualBox manager.  Are you saying it 
didn't get installed for you?  I'm not aware of any other UI for it.  I 
don't know if you just made a typo - but the command is not VurtualBox, 
it's VirtualBox.

You need to make sure the headless use-flag is disabled and the qt5
useflag is enabled if you want the GUI.

Yes, the VirtualBox command is missing. "VurtualBox" was typo.

Thanks

Thanks, qt5 was disabled. It works now.

I believe libvirt is capable of managing VirtualBox based VMs as well, but the official UI is definitely superior if you're only managing a single host.

If you haven't used it in a while, note that Oracle has changed the license on their extensions such that any activity with even the faintest hint of educational or commercial purposes now requires purchasing a license.  Last I looked the minimum purchase quantity was about $10,000 worth.
