VirtualBox and Fedora 37

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

I'm hoping someone has a contact at VirtualBox or Oracle and can nudge
someone to have VirtualBox updated for Feedora 37.

  * https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora

If someone has a contact, please ping them.

Thanks in advance.

[Luna Jernberg]

Was wondering the same thing some days ago

Fedora has long supported virtualization with libvirt and kvm, there
is a suitable gui interface via virt-manager to make it easier for
mere mortals to manage VMs, Images, etc. What are the considerations
in using these tools which are thoroughly tested and used by the
Fedora community instead of combining these external tools which may
not be tested and quickly available with each iteration of Fedora
releases?

I have an existing VirtualBox VM setup for Windows 10 Pro x64. I
needed to move the image from a Ubuntu 22 machine with a Coffee Lake
processor to a Fedora 37 machine with an Ice Lake processor (and I
needed to test the Windows program on Ice Lake).

I use QEMU/KVM myself, but frankly I think the documentation is not
very user-friendly. For those who are a little put off by this, and
don't mind using a non-FOSS solution, the free-as-in-beer versions of
VirtualBox or VMware Workstation cover the majority of use cases more
easily (as long as you don't need PCI pass-through).

Oracle's F37 repo isn't available yet, but the latest RPM
(VirtualBox-7.0-7.0.4_154605_fedora36-1.x86_64.rpm) works fine in F37, you just have to
install it manually. This is common up to a few weeks after each release. It's also
common for the latest RPM name to show an older Fedora version, they don't update that
unless necessary, so even when the F37 repo is enabled it will probably contain the same
"fedora36" RPM.

Jamie, Great idea!

Refine open projects into tools that folks all over will want to use!

Open source works when it attracts contributions and gets more useful each
time.
