</I>><i> I've just seen the following report elsewhere:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> "...trying to run Virtualbox with Mageia as a host OS...
</I>><i> ...
</I>><i> USB devices aren't recognised even with the addon pack. I can't try
</I>><i> the versions from Oracle, because they are built with Python 2.6, and
</I>><i> Mageia has Python 2.7. "
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I do hope this is only a temporary glitch, as I was considering trying
</I>><i> Mageia as a replacement for Mandriva (where Virtualbox USB works
</I>><i> perfectly), and I don't want to lose VirtualBox USB functionality.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> > can't try
</I>><i> >
</I>><i> > the versions from Oracle, because they are built with Python 2.6, and
</I>><i> > Mageia has Python 2.7. "
</I>><i>
</I>><i> After I downloaded VirtualBox, I was able to:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> urpmi VirtualBox*rpm --allow-force
</I>><i>
</I>><i> It recompiled the driver and I was good to go.
</I>><i>
</I>
I posted that report on the Mandriva list. Yes, I made sure that I had the
right extension pack. I haven't tried "urpmi --force". Probably the Python
version is not critical to functioning, but it does restrict the standard user
to the Mageia RPM of virtualbox. My problem was, that with no USB
connectivity, I couldn't import any work to do. Networking to my host system
may have worked; I didn't try.
Doug.
