Re: Virtualbox not working on kernel 6.3

Hello Samuel,

first of all, I can confirm VBox is working disabling IBT.

Hi all,

there is a documented issue for Virtualbox and new kernels (6.3).

All VMs stuck on starting.

It seems to be a problem related with IBT (enable by default on new

Fedora kernels) that causes the VM to refuse to load.

One reference here: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/21435 

<https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/21435>

I'll try to disable IBT at boot and try to use VM's but the question is:

There is already a solution (IBT is there why?) or there is only this

workaround?

IBT is a security thing.  If Virtualbox is having a problem with that,

it seems likely that they're doing something that they shouldn't be doing.

I know. I'm waiting for it.

My first question was why rpmfusion are providing it without specifying the issue.

But this is another film.

But also, the usual question when things like this come up.  Why aren't

you using qemu/KVM anyway?

Never used qemu. I know VirtualBox and I started to use it when vmware was no more available on Linux.

I use vbox cause some of my VM are already provided by some vendors (and running on linux but also on Windows for my collegues).

So converting from vbox to qemu is a job that I don't want to do.

Maybe I can try later at least to understand if there are advantage using it.

Regards
