Hi,
first thanks for all those who participated in the port! Being able to
run VirtualBox on FreeBSD is really cool!
Well, I have one slight Problem, however, with VirtualBox on FreeBSD;
tried both the SVN-Version (since it's first days when it didn't work on
amd64, updating it each time Martin announced some good news) and the
virtualbox_5.tgz (to make sure it's not an "unsupported" SVN-Version
that's causing the trouble):
The /usr/local/lib/virtualbox Directory is being created root:wheel with
Mode 700.
[bash]beaster:~$ls -lad /usr/local/lib/virtualbox
drwx------ 2 root wheel 512 27 Mai 18:58 /usr/local/lib/virtualbox
The "make deinstall" really removes that Directory and "make reinstall"
does create it;
===> Generating temporary packing
list
===> Checking if emulators/virtualbox already
installed
/bin/mkdir -p
/boot/modules
install -o root -g wheel -m 555
/home/ralf/vbox2/virtualbox/work/virtualbox-2.2.2r19980/out/freebsd.amd64/release/bin/vboxdrv.ko
/boot/modules
/bin/mkdir -p
/usr/local/lib/virtualbox
(cd
/home/ralf/vbox2/virtualbox/work/virtualbox-2.2.2r19980/out/freebsd.amd64/release/bin
&& /bin/sh -c '(/usr/bin/find -d $0 $2 | /usr/bin/cpio -dumpl $1
>/dev/null 2>&1) && /usr/sbin/chown -R root:wheel $1 &&
/usr/bin/find -d $0 $2 -type d -exec chmod 755 $1/{} \; &&
/usr/bin/find -d $0 $2 -type f -exec chmod 444 $1/{} \;' -- "*.so *.gc
*.r0 components"
/usr/local/lib/virtualbox)
/bin/mkdir -p
/usr/local/bin
The toor-Users umask is 0022, the root Users 22.
This happens on
7.2-STABLE FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #0: Sat May 23 17:58:51 CEST 2009
amd64
As I'm the only one who runs into this problem it must be a local
Problem; however, I have no Idea what the reason might be. Creating a
Directory being root (or toor; to be sure I tried both) works fine and
observes the umask
[-su]beaster:virtualbox$mkdir /usr/local/lib/virtualbox2
[-su]beaster:virtualbox$ls -lad /usr/local/lib/virtualbox2/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 May 27 19:05 /usr/local/lib/virtualbox2/
I hope I didn't overlook something in the Port's Docs; I only found
"Running VirtualBox as non-root user may fail" so I assume it's uspposed
to work for non-root Users, too.
Does anyone have a hint? It's not too bad having to chmod
/usr/local/lib/virtualbox, but creating with the correct permissions
would really be nice :-)
Cheers,
_ralf_
