- Fix some memory leaks in file "fix_7.0.6_locking_problems.patch"
Fix bug in /usr/bin/VirtualBox, aka "virtualbox-wrapper.sh". The wrapper
failed whenever the user declined USB passthru. boo#1208941.
* Tue Mar 21 2023 Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@gmail.com>
- File "fixes_for_kernel_6.3.patch" is updated for more API changes
File "fix_7.0.6_locking_problems.patch" is added. Fixes boo#1209529.
Larry Len Rainey and I have worked on this bug for some time. It only
happened on systems with large numbers of processors and many virtual
machines. We suspected a locking problem, but the thought of auditing
the entire code was daunting until it was discovered that there was no
problem if the host ran VB 6.1.40. It did not matter what version the
guests were running. That essentially eliminated every code part except
for vboxdrv.ko. That made the audit tractable. There were two files and
a total of 8 places where the locking was suspect. When those were
changed, the lockups while using 7.0.6 host code were no longer observed.
The lockups were infrequent, thus it is impossible to say that we have
fixed everything, but the frequency is clearly diminished.
* Mon Mar 06 2023 Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@gmail.com>
- Added file "fixes_for_kernel_6.3.patch" to handle API change.

/sbin => /usr/sbin, and /etc/udev => /usr/lib/udev. boo#1207736.
ldconfig has not been moved in Leap 15.4 - use /sbin for it.

- Pseudo version bump to 6.1.13, which is NOT an Oracle release.
Update VB sources to run under kernel 5.8.0+ with no modifications to the
kernel. These sources are derived from r85883 of the Oracle svn repository.
For operations with USB{2,3}, the extension pack for revision 140056 must
be installed. Once Oracle releases 6.1.14, then the extension pack and
VB itself will have the same revision number.
File "fixes_for_5.8.patch" is removed as that part was fixed upstream.
Fixes boo#1175201.

Files "virtualbox-host-kmp-files" and "virtualbox-guest-kmp-files" are deleted.
File "virtualbox-kmp-files" is added.

- Script vboxdrv.sh, which is called from the systemd service file, incorrectly called a routine
that does not exist when the kernel modules were not available. This call is changed to /sbin/vboxconfig
that will build the modules if the requisite packages are available. If that is not true, the
systemctl status vboxdrv will list the command needed to load the missing packages. This change
address part of boo#1142995.

- The VirtualBox packages for both Tumbleweed and Leap 15.1 are now derived from the sources in Factory;
however, the underlying kernels are very different in that vboxvideo.ko is built-into the TW kernel,
thus the package did not try to build that module. The result is that Leap 15.1 guests have only 640x480
resolution (boo#1132439). These changes conditionally turn building of the kernel module back on. As TW
does not need the module, it is only built for Leap 15.1.
* Sun Apr 14 2019 Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@gmail.com>
- An instance of /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBoxVM being installed without SUID privilege

been modified to check the permissions and pop up a warning describing the problem and
showing the command needed to fix the problem. File "vbox-suid-warning.diff" is added.

- Version bump to 5.1.30 (released 2017-10-16 by Oracle)
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
GUI: translation updates
GUI: Fixed double mouse cursor when using mouse integration without Guest Additions, actually a Qt 5.6 bug fixed with QT 5.6.3 (Mac OS X hosts only; bug #15610)

- Make additional change specified in bsc#1060072. Moving VBoxSDL and VBoxSDL.so from package
virtualbox to virtualbox-qt removes an additional need to load the libqt* binaries on a
text-only installation running headless VMs.
* Mon Sep 25 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Make changes suggested in bsc#1060072
The specific changes are:
(1) Remove the test in vboxdrv.sh as the script tests for the wrong file. This is safe because
if the package is not installed, the script will not be there.
(2) Move VBoxDbg.so to package virtualbox-qt. With this change, packages libQt5Core, libQt5Gui
and libQt5Widgets are no longer needed with package virtualbox. As a result, a text-only
server no longer needs to load QT to support headless virtual machines.

Linux hosts: make 2D video acceleration available for older Linux distributions (5.1 regression; bug #16858)
Linux Additions: fix for dynamic resizing with Oracle Linux 6 with UEK4
Linux Additions: make Fedora 25 and 26 Alpha work when 3D pass-through is enabled
Linux Additions: no longer recommend removing distribution- installed Additions if they are updated to our guidelines
* Tue Jul 18 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- In kernel 4.13, wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t. File "vbox_fix_for_kernel_4.13.patch" patches the source to account for this change.
* Mon Jul 10 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Fix several problems with the startup scripts. The SysV form is no longer used for most packages as proper systemd
service files have been created. These fixes address bsc#1037291, #1043532, and #1045871.
- Increase reserved disk space from 4 to 5 GB. This change was suddested as a fix for the 32-bit failures.
* Fri Jun 30 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Fix missing global for 32-bit version with gcc7. (bsc#1046571).
Fix missing frame buffer cleanup - private communication from Oracle - adds file "fix_KMS_support.patch".
* Sun Jun 25 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Fix logic error in scripts to build kernel modules locally - see bnc#1042726.
Fix "requires" for net-tools-deprecated so that Leap 42.3 will build.
Fix missing /media for Leap 42.3.
Fix typo in above changes.
* Sun Jun 25 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Fix some typos in the various service files as noted in boo#1044931.
With these fixes, TW guests start correctly. In addition, the /sbin/vboxconfig (for hosts) and the
/sbin/vboxguestconfig (for guests) work correctly.
* Wed Jun 21 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Now that kernel:HEAD:standard has changed to version 4.12.0-rcX, the VB drivers need some changes for new API's.
File "vbox_fix_for_kernel_4.12.patch" is added.
The added installation of "net-tools-deprecated" broke builds for Leap 42.3. That change is now conditional on building for Factory.
* Sat Jun 10 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Add installation of package "net-tools-deprecated" as requested in boo#1027742.
* Thu Jun 08 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Revise warning screen concerning USB passthru - fixes bnc#1041137.
USB passthru opens a security hole, yet it is so valuable that many users want the feature, thus it is our default.
Previously, a user needed to edit a udev rule to disable passthru. The bad part was that an update of VB changed the
rule back to allow passthru without any notification. These changes modify the popup to allow the user to accept or decline
passthru. If the user declines, then the root password is requested and the udev rule is modified. As these modifications will be
lost with the next VB update, the inode of the udev rule is kept. If the user has previously declined and the inode has changed,
the popup will show the next time VB is started. File "fix_usb_rules.sh" is added.
* Sun May 21 2017 hpj@urpla.net
- add %dir /usr/share/licenses to new vnc package
* Wed May 17 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Made changes to build with gcc 7.x. This adds new file "vbox_fix_for_gcc7.patch".
Changed the building of VBoxVNC to remove the hack used earlier.
* Wed May 10 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Make a number of changes:
* Add VBoxVNC as a proper external pack rather than just make the so available (bnc #1037033). Thanks to Michal Nowak for most of this effort.
One hack was required to work around a bug in "VBoxManage extpack install" whereby the --accept-license option failed to work.
* Improve startup of VirtualBox through use of systemd service files:
a. Beginning with Oracle version 5.0.8, the command used to build the kernel modules outside of the RPM packaging
code changed; however, the openSUSE version did not implement the new method. That new code is now implemented.
b. In Tumbleweed, the SysV init scripts to systemd service files stopped working. Part of the new code also checks
to see if the kernel modules are loaded. If not, new script files are called to include the necessary packages
and build the necessary modules.
c. The hooks are in place to remove the sysv init files and do the complete conversion to systemd. This step will
be done at a later time.
* New files are "vboxconfig.sh", "vboxguestconfig.sh", "vboxdrv.service", and "vboxadd-service.service".
* New sub-packages virtualbox-guest-source and virtualbox-vnc are produced.
* Some typos in virtualbox.spec are fixed.
* Thu May 04 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Add libelf-devel to build. Fixes bnc #1037511.
Modified the startup files to build the kernel modules if they are missing. Files "vboxconfig.sh" and "vboxguestconfig" added.
* Sat Apr 29 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Version bump to 5.1.22 (released 2017-04-28 by Oracle)
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
VMM: fixed VERR_IEM_INSTR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED Guru Meditation under certain conditions (5.1 regression; mostly Mac OS X hosts; bugs #15693, #15801, #16274, #16569, #16663)
VMM: fixed software virtualization on Solaris hosts (5.1.20 regression)
Storage: fixed a potential hang under rare circumstances (bug #16677)
Storage: fixed a potential crash under rare circumstances (asynchronous I/O disabled or during maintenance file operations like merging snapshots)
Linux hosts: make the ALSA backend work again as well as loading the GL libraries on certain hosts (5.1.20 regression; bugs #16667, #16693)
Linux Additions: fixed mount.vboxsf symlink problem (5.1.20 regression; bug #16670)
* Sat Apr 29 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- VirtualBox has always been started by systemd utilizing the old-style scripts in /etc/init.d.
These should be converted to the service files native to systemd. This issue has been forced
as a recent update to Tumbleweed broke the startup of VB for both TW hosts and guests. This
change starts the conversion to native systemd files. The original scripts are still used; however,
service files are used to start and stop the VB components. In a later change, all action will
be accomplished using systemd service files.
Two new files named "vboxdrv.service" and "vboxadd-service.service" are added.
* Thu Apr 20 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net

* Wed Mar 08 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Fix API changes for kernel 4.11. This change adds file "vbox_fix_4.11_api_changes.patch".
Make some changes to various script files to remove reference to run level 4, which is not used.
* Sat Mar 04 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Fix for missing global in vboxsf that prevented mounting shared folders
for kernel 4.10. This change is the fix for bsc #1027967.
* Tue Feb 28 2017 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Do not proivde libGL.so.1 and libEGL.so.1 symbols into the rpm
database.
* Sun Feb 26 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- The fix for 3D acceleration only works for Gmome desktops. KDE desktops fail. Accordingly,
3D acceleration must still be disabled "out-of-the-box". File /etc/init.d/vboxadd contains
comments on the modifications needed to turn 3D acceleration on, thus Gnome users may turn
it on selectively.
* Fri Feb 24 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Fix 3D acceleration as reported in bsc #1024934. The steps needed are as follows:
- Remove file "vbox_prevent_wrong_SONAME.patch" - the original SONAME values are needed for
libGL.so.1 and libEGL.so.1 to be replaced by VBoxOGL.so and VBoxEGL.so, respectively.
- Package VBoxEGL.so
* Thu Feb 23 2017 kukuk@suse.de
- Require insserv and fillup by the packages who call it in the
pre/post install sections

- Removed "vbox_fix_4.9_api_changes.patch" as changes are upstream.
Fixed API changes for kernel 4.10 in "vbox_fix_4.10_api_changes.patch".
* Wed Jan 25 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- The version bump to 5.1.14 also addresses boo#1020856 CVE-2017-3316 CVE-2017-3332 CVE-2017-3290 CVE-2016-5545

Windows hosts: another fix for recent Windows 10 hosts
Linux hosts: Linux 4.10 fixes
Linux Additions: fixed protocol error during certain operations on shared folders (bug #8463)
* Sat Jan 14 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- The printing of the warning about the insecurity in USB passthru had been lost. As most people are likely to want that feature,
the logic has been inverted. Now, the required udev commands to allow passthru are included. The first time that VB is started,
the user will get a screen that points to the bug entry discussing the problem and states what they should do to block the
insecure usage. In any case, that screen will only be printed once. File "virtualbox-60-vboxdrv.rules" has been added
These changes address the issues in bnc #1018340.
* Wed Dec 21 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Version bump to 5.1.12 (released 2016-12-20 by Oracle)

Linux Additions: fix the graphics driver build with Linux 4.10 and later (bug #16298)
Windows Additions: fixed a crash in the WDDM driver under certain conditions
* Mon Dec 12 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Revert "vbox_hdpi_support.patch. This patch may improve things for asn@cryptomilk.org, but it breaks other systems.
See https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/521520-VirtualBox-interface-scaling and bsc #1014694.
* Mon Dec 05 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- I now have the necessary preprocessor symbol to modify the source depending on whether the server is 1.19.0 or greater.
It is no longer necessary to detect the server version in the spec file, thus the solution is cleaner.
* Mon Dec 05 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Leap 42.2 still has server v. 1.18.3, thus the test failed. The test has been changed to look at only the 1.xx part of the version.
* Sun Dec 04 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Add patch file "Fix_for_server_1.19.patch" to support xorg-x11-server v. 1.19.0.
The spec file now interrogates the rpm for the server and conditionally applies the patch, thus both versions build OK.
* Wed Nov 30 2016 asn@cryptomilk.org
- Add patch file "vbox_hidpi_support.patch" to add support for HiDPI in the
management frontend.
(This does not fix rendering in guest windows)

API: default to RTC using UTC for Solaris 11 guests
Settings: be less restrictive when reading a VM configuration containing a host-only adapter without an interface name
Storage: fixed resizing VDI images resulting in an unbootable image under certain circumstances (bug #15983)
NAT: fixed several 5.1.8 regressions on Mac OS X and Windows hosts (bug #16084)
Audio: fixed a few 5.1.x regressions by using the audio code from 5.0.x until the audio overhaul is completed

X11 Additions: disable 3D on the guest if the host does not provide enough capabilities (bug #15860)
* Tue Oct 18 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Requesting 14000 MB is too much. Reduce the request to 12000 MB.
* Thu Oct 13 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Some builds still run out of memory and fail. Increase to 14000 MB.
* Thu Oct 13 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Builds keep running out of memory when building the web server part of the package.
To help the memory pressure, I have forced make to run with "-j2", rather than use
the number of processors. Such a change will slow the build, but will result in a
higher rate of success.
* Wed Oct 12 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Increase memory allowed in build to 10000 MB.
* Mon Sep 12 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net

* Fri Nov 06 2015 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Add logic to virtualbox-wrapper.sh to test if /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules exists. If not, a screen stating
that passthru of USB devices is a security hole, and it refers the user to bnc#664520 for an explanation.
It also explains the process for enabling USB passthru if the user really wants it. When the user closes
the popup window, a dummy version of /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules is created, which prevents this
window from being displayed every time VirtualBox is started.
- Fixes boo#953018.
