Description
For testing latest versions of VirtualBox for Fedora and epel7. The project starts on Fedora 23 but is available for latest branches .
Warning: Time to time use dnf distro-sync to be sure that you are using last version, copr is also a place where in test my builds , so I often do builds without bump the release.
Installation Instructions
dnf copr enable sergiomb/vboxfor23
on epel7
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/sergiomb/vboxfor23/repo/epel-7/sergiomb-vboxfor23-epel-7.repo
In host (the master):
dnf install VirtualBox kernel-devel-$(uname -r) akmod-VirtualBox
akmods-shutdown
systemctl restart vboxdrv
dmesg | grep -i vbox
or In a vm guest system , Since Fedora 28 you got virtualBox-guest-additions working out of the box on Fedora proper , package is virtualBox-guest-additions all with lowercase, so just do dnf install virtualBox-guest-additions in a vm (guest system). For epel 7 and 8 we still have VirtualBox-guest-additions on RPM Fusion.
If you want run Fedora in a vm, you may/should install !virtualBox-guest-additions. this replaces VBoxGuestAdditions provide by Oracle
RPM Fusion doesn't provide VBoxGuestAdditions for others OS , you have to download it , you have a button for that in VirtualBox, vm manager menu.
dnf install VirtualBox-guest-additions kernel-devel-$(uname -r)
systemctl restart vboxservice
dmesg
in dmesg you should see kernel modules loaded:
dmesg | grep -i vbox
[ 2870.556703] vboxdrv: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel
