Dear All,
Does somebody know when will Oracle make VirtualBox available on its repository for Fedora 21?
At the moment, no package for F21 is available:
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/
Thanks in advance,
Paul
what do you mean "for" fedora 21? Fedora 21 host, or Fedora 21 guest?
I'm hosting 4.3.20 on Centos-6, and the Fedora-21 guest works just fine. I even reinstalled the guest additions just now, using the 4.3.20 parts and they installed just fine. what more do you want?
I'm using, BTW, the vbox 4.3.20 downloaded from virtualbox.org, not from any repo.
He means there is "no repo" dedicated to F21. So, the repo file....
[virtualbox] name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - VirtualBox baseurl=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/$releasever/$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc
Doesn't find vbox due to $releasever=21 and that directory doesn't exist.
Yes, one can simply download and install the most recent rpm which is VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.20_96996_fedora18-1
I didn't realize I didn't have it installed... running Fedora21.. ran # yum install VirtualBox Installed: VirtualBox.x86_64 0:4.3.20-1.fc21
Dependency Installed: kmod-VirtualBox-3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64.x86_64 0:4.3.20-2.fc21.1
Complete!
yes it is a capital V & B.. it matters..
