Is it worth waiting for them to release a compatiable version or should i just remove this? I currently uninstalled the program as i don’t use it often but would not entirely mind waiting either way.
I’ll check out the RPM. even when i uninstall it with dnf uninstall VirtualBox it throws up the same error. I guess the repo doesn’t go away on its own.
I’m generally pretty okay with waiting even though i’m excited for the new features.
I think the easiest thing is to remove Virtualbox package from Oracle and install it from rpmfusion (if you want to stick to Virtualbox).
What you can also do, I have done that for years in the past, point to the f41 repo and run the package built for f41 in f42. Usually this works just fine.
I’ll give it a try today. Saturday is usually my day to take the time to deal with my computer (as a pose to just play on it).
I haven’t used virtualbox for a while now but it’s a nice free virtual machine program that works on fedora. (Vmware didn’t work last time i tried + it’s not necessarily free).
I’ve gotten VMware to work, but I mainly use libvirt, which is free, included in Fedora, and the backend for a whole lot of major platforms like OpenStack, kubevirt, etc. There are GUIs for in it Fedora such as Gnome Boxes and virt-manager.
Keep in mind last time i tried was last year. Much like how we used to have to deal with Nvidia’s closed sourced drivers, things can change. I’ll give VMware another try.
I got it to work, but VMWare was a bit of a pain. libvirt is by far the easiest of the three in my experience. I personally prefer the old virt-manager, but Gnome Boxes is also just fine if you want something simpler with a more modern UI.
