virtualbox-ose (3.1.4-dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=low virtualbox-ose no longer depends on QT4 to not force anyone to install QT4 even if the virtualbox-ose provided gui is not installed. However, QT4 is still recommended because there is one little utility in virtualbox-ose that is linked againbt QT4. This utility, VBoxTestOGL, is used to test for OpenGL capabilities. So if you use OpenGL you might want to install QT4 nonetheless. If you know your OpenGL capabilities you can of course also replace VBoxTestOGL by /bin/true or /bin/false depending on your capabilities. -- Michael Meskes Mon, 15 Feb 2010 20:53:12 +0100 virtualbox-ose (2.0.6-dfsg-1) experimental; urgency=low The way Host Interface Networking works has been completely rewritten with VirtualBox 2. The main difference is that the complex bridging configuration is no longer necessary. With the new mechanism, to enable Host Interface Networking, all you need to do is to open the Settings dialog of a virtual machine, go to the “Network” page and select “Host Interface” in the drop down list for the “Attached to” field. Finally, select the desired host interface from the list at the bottom of the page, which contains the physical network interfaces. -- Michael Meskes Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:09:54 +0100
