This fixes the error message: GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory'

It caused old saved settings to be forgotten, and new settings to be lost
when virt-manager is closed.
VirtualBox had support for DBUS even in version 4.x, but it appears that
nothing in our VM test triggered it to load, thus I didn't notice the
runtime error:

Second attempt to resolve this issue. Copies stage1 image into expected
place manually. This has been improved in rkt master where there is a
configure option for specifying the location of this file. Can update
when next stable rkt is released.
The rkt build process requires a stage1 image. By default it will try
and download one with wget from coreos.com during the build. This change
explicitly downloads the image using `fetchurl`, verifying checksum,
then passes that to the build using appropriate configure flag.
Using $storepath/sbin is deprecated according to commit 98cedb3, so
let's avoid putting anything in .../sbin for the guest additions.
This is a continuation of the initial commit done by @ctheune at
1fb1360, which unfortunately broke VM tests and only changed the path of
the mount.vboxsf helper.
With this commit, the VM test is fixed and I've also verified on my
machine that it is indeed working again.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
This places mount.vboxsf in $out/bin instead of sbin, because as
reported in #9063 it seems that the the mount tools are no longer
looking into $storepath/sbin/mount.$what but into
$storepath/bin/mount.$what instead.
However, I haven't found any commit which changes this behavior and
couldn't reproduce it. Also, merging this will break the VirtualBox
tests, but I'm merging it anyway in an effort to remove $storepath/sbin
from virtualboxGuestAdditions entirely.
Tested against virtualbox NixOS VM test, which of course failed as said
before.
Changes:
- RemoteBox now requires VirtualBox 5.0.x
- Added guest support for USB 3.0

sequences. The full keyboard menu is still available

Xen required a few changes in order to be usable:
* Include xenfs module in initrd as loading it in the activation
script was failing.
* Include /etc/default/xendomains, which is needed by
xen-domains service.
* Create /var/log/xen and /var/lib/xen directories in
the xen-store service, which are needed by the xl command.
The directories could be created by any other script as long as
they are guaranteed to exist before xl is called.
* Fix a reference to /bin/ls in the xendomains script.
Within fractions* of a second, the beautifully crafted history and
branching mechanisms of SVN found out the exact revision which caused
this to be visible in version 5.x but not in version 4.x:
https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset?old_path=%2Fvbox%2Ftrunk&old=30933&new_path=%2Fvbox%2Ftrunk&new=30934
Also note the very short URL and the informative changeset message which
shows you exactly what was the issue, I think.
Be warned however, it may contain traces of history amnesia, revision
epilepsy and other related diseases.
As for the issue itself: This was very much broken in 4.x as well, but
it didn't show an error message in the UI. The PulseAudio library is
loaded at runtime and it's not able to do that unless it's in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Now, we're doing the same as with the ALSA libraries: We're hardcoding
the path to the shared object file in patchPhase.

This is espacially cruicial when it comes to Nix 1.9, where we even have
a more restrictive /nix/store. In any event, VirtualBox in hardenend
mode doesn't have to check the /nix/store path, because it's read-only
on NixOS systems. So this check would not introduce more security but
more hurdles, thus I'm removing it (of course _only_ for /nix/store).

The Nixos Qemu VM that are used for VM tests can now start without
boot menu even when using a bootloader.
The Nixos Qemu VM with bootloader can emulate a EFI boot now.
Because we have to rely on setuid wrappers on NixOS, we can't easily
hardcode the executable paths and set it 4755. So for all calls, we need
to change the runtime path executable directory to /var/setuid-wrappers/
and for verification we need to retain the executable directory.
Also note, that usually VBoxNetAdpCtl, VBoxNetDHCP, VBoxNetNAT, VBoxSDL
and VBoxVolInfo don't reside in directories that are commonly in PATH,
but in /usr/lib/virtualbox in most mainstream distros. But because the
names of these executables are distinctive enough to not cause
collisions with other setuid programs, I'll leave it like that and not
patch up setuid-wrappers.

With hardening, we need to go a bit further rather than just allowing
/nix/store being world-writable. We now use fakeroot to make sure the
VBoxExtPackHelperApp won't moan that the files are not owned by root.
They are, but only outside of the chrooted build process.
Another issue with using fakeroot is that it doesn't seem to cope well
with arguments that contain spaces. That's why I've piped the call into
${stdenv.shell}.
Now, the really gory and confusing part is the introduction of
VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE_ARCH_TOP and the change of VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE.
The VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE_ARCH is *only* for modules and is checked by
the hardened implementation against whether things like VMMR0.r0 or
VBoxVMM.so reside in that directory. As a side note: I admit that the
whole libexec directory is quite polluted with stuff that shouldn't be
there, but for now we've broken enough things and will tear apart the
whole structure at some day in the future[TM].
For the confusing part we have VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE_ARCH_TOP, which
_should_ be the same as VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE_ARCH but unfortunately,
the hardened implementation is checking against this directory (in
IsValidBaseDir) for the extension pack(why!?).
Of course, we could put even that into the libexec directory, somewhat
similar as the official package, but after all, let's at least *try* to
separate things.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
We are already checking whether /nix/store has the sticky bit set, so if
it is world-writable as well it doesn't mean that the actual store path
is writable. Let alone the fact that it is only writable during the
build process.
This should fix installing the extension pack when enableExtensionPack
is used.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
VirtualBox with hardening support requires the main binaries to be
setuid root. Using VBOX_WITH_RUNPATH, we ensure that the RPATHs are
pointing to the libexec directory and we also need to unset
VBOX_WITH_ORIGIN to make sure that the build system is actually setting
those RPATHs.
The hardened.patch implements two things:
* Set the binary directory to the setuid-wrappers dir so that
VboxSVC calls them instead of the binaries from the store path. The
reason behind this is because nothing in the Nix store can have the
setuid flag.
* Excempt /nix/store from the group permission check, because while it
is group-writeable indeed it also has the sticky bit set (and also
the whole store is mounted read-only on most NixOS systems), so we're
checking on that as well.
Right now, the hardened.patch uses /nix/store and /var/setuid-wrappers
directly, so someone would ever want to change those on a NixOS system,
please provide a patch to set those paths on build time. However, for
simplicity, it's best to do it when we _really_ need it.

This version of module has disabled socketActivation, because until

First, pass in `self' again so that overriding works properly (thanks

Second, instead of having linuxPackages*.kernel mean something different
inside the set and out, add a new attribute linuxPackages*.kernelDev,
which for the generic kernel is simply linuxPackages*.kernel but for the
manual-config kernel is the `dev' output (which has the build tree,

of at least 4 running VMs in parallel.

This time, we need to patch, because the upstream tarball got messed up
somehow[TM]. You can find some details about the issue here:

Our patch is removing the language file, as it seems that even in SVN trunk it
isn't available anymore. So, let's hope we can remove this patch in the next
upstream release.
