On Linux, for instance, you will need to install additional libraries to run VirtualBox. It’s always good to have a decently-specced computer, so as to be able to share the memory, CPU, and storage with the virtual machine. Depending on the platform/OS you’re running it on, you’ll need one or more extra things. The requirements for using VirtualBox are varied. Some Windows additions are mentioned too: “fixed the environment for guest processes” and “fixed divide by zero exception with multiple guest screens under certain conditions.”Ī Linux addition includes “install correctly on Ubuntu guest systems with a /usr/lib64 directory,” and an X11 addition is also highlighted by Oracle: “fix for the VBoxClient process not exiting correctly and consuming too much processor time.” On Mac OS X, the update also prevents local traffic from leaking to wire, according to the release notes. Guest behavior when a storage medium is attached or removed at VM runtime should be normal now. 3D support gains several fixes, and saved states causing guest misbehavior are tweaked to offer more reliability.Īny storage bugs preventing the ability to compact differential snapshots under certain conditions are now gone, and a segmentation fault on Linux hosts is addressed. In the OVF department, a crash of the VirtualBox Manager is patched. A potential crash when opening the preferences menu has been resolved too. The mini-toolbar minimize button has been removed, as it didn’t work under Mac OS X full screen mode.Įxperimental HID LEDs synchronization for Windows and Mac OS X hosts is now available, and keyboard re-synchronization has been fixed. Graphics-wise, OS X customers get experimental native full screen support for Mountain Lion and Mavericks. Single-stepping is fixed for real-mode guests and some I/O instructions, and a potential problem with COW pages is also addressed. Oracle has carried out some more maintenance in the VMM department in order to improve the emulation of some MSR registers on certain host CPUs. Oracle adds a hefty dose of tweaks and fixes, as well as platform-specific enhancements for Mac, Windows, and Linux customers alike.

Virtualization software VirtualBox has been promoted to version 4.3.10 Build 92957 today.
