- Options name:
- emulators_virtualbox-ose-72
- USES:
- compiler:c++17-lang cpe gnome iconv pkgconfig qt:6 ssl tar:bzip2 python gl qmake:no_env qt:6 xorg sdl xorg
- pkg-message:
- For install:
- VirtualBox was installed.
You need to load the vboxdrv kernel module via /boot/loader.conf:
vboxdrv_load="YES"
You also have to add all users to your vboxusers group in order to use vbox.
% pw groupmod vboxusers -m jerry
Reboot the machine to load the needed kernel modules.
Bridging Support:
=================
For bridged networking please add the following line to your /etc/rc.conf:
vboxnet_enable="YES"
USB Support:
============
For USB support your user needs to be in the operator group and needs read
and write permissions to the USB device.
% pw groupmod operator -m jerry
Add the following to /etc/devfs.rules (create if it doesn't exist):
[system=10]
add path 'usb/*' mode 0660 group operator
To load these new rule add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
devfs_system_ruleset="system"
Then restart devfs to load the new rules:
% /etc/rc.d/devfs restart
Troubleshooting:
================
Running VirtualBox as non-root user may fail with a fatal error
NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED. In this case delete /tmp/.vbox-*-ipc file.
If you experience "Network: write Failed: Cannot allocate memory" errors
try to increase net.graph.maxdata in /boot/loader.conf
If you are using AIO, then increase these limits (https://bugs.freebsd.org/168298):
vfs.aio.max_buf_aio=8192
vfs.aio.max_aio_queue_per_proc=65536
vfs.aio.max_aio_per_proc=8192
vfs.aio.max_aio_queue=65536
To check if AIO is used use: kldstat -v | grep aio
If you are experiencing VMs freezes with an error in VBox.log such as:
"
00:01:29.590192 AssertLogRel /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose/work/VirtualBox-6.1.44

"
and see a lot of free RAM, then increase sysctl vm.max_user_wired
(https://bugs.freebsd.org/252227).
For dedicated VM servers, a good start is:
("RAM in GB" - max(1, "RAM in GB" / 32)) * 1024*1024*1024 / PAGE_SIZE
PAGE_SIZE on x86 is 4096.
Examples with different RAM sizes in GB:
16: ( 16-max(1, 16/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 3932160 => 15GB
32: ( 32-max(1, 32/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 8126464 => 31GB
48: ( 48-max(1, 48/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 12189696 => 46.5GB
64: ( 64-max(1, 64/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 16252928 => 62GB
128: (128-max(1,128/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 32505856 => 124GB
256: (256-max(1,256/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 65011712 => 248GB
When assigning IP addresses in host-only mode from ranges outside
of VirtualBox's defaults, the respective ranges need to be listed
in /usr/local/etc/vbox/networks.conf (https://bugs.freebsd.org/259399).
Check the wiki page for known issues and troubleshooting:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox
Please report any problems to emulation@. Thanks!
- If upgrading from < 6.1.22:
- The PULSEAUDIO option has been forcibly disabled since VirtualBox
version 6.1.24 due to a bug in it preventing virtual machines
configured to use it from starting.
When upgrading from a previous version please reconfigure any virtual
machines using the Pulseaudio host audio driver to use another
supported one.
- If upgrading from > 6.1.26 and < 6.1.32_1:
- To comply to hier(7) requirements, networks.conf's location changed
to /usr/local/etc/vbox/networks.conf.
In case /etc/vbox/networks.conf exists, it needs to be moved to
/usr/local/etc/vbox and /etc/vbox should be deleted.

- There is no master site for this port.

emulators/virtualbox-ose{,-kmod,-nox11}-72: Add new ports VirtualBox 7.2.0
Port based on patch from Stas Timokhin <devel@stasyan.com>.
The main work on porting was done by the author of the original patch.
The rest is a several various improvements and bug fixes that have been
made over the past few months in older versions and one upstream
regression: https://github.com/VirtualBox/virtualbox/issues/135
The requirements for 7.2.x are the same as for 7.1.x, but for now we'll
leave both versions: 7.2.x in experimental/test mode and 7.1.x - stable.
Upstream ported on aarch64, but for now we keep ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=amd64.
If you interested in porting it on aarch64 - create PR with patch.
The following ports also need to be created (they are not available for(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above  ) |
