Description jeffrey.wildman 2019-07-13 14:08:21 UTC

Description of problem:

libvirt does not appear to support the most recent VirtualBox 6.0 API. I didn't see an existing ticket for this and am hoping this is the right place to add one.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

5.5.0

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. virsh --debug=4 -c vbox:///session

Actual results:

```
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: internal error: unable to initialize VirtualBox driver API
```

Expected results:

successful connection to vbox hypervisor

Thanks for the bug report, however, to set realistic expectations I must mention that the vbox driver doesn't have an active maintainer right now. So any support for 6.0 will rely on some motivated developer to step forward to do the work & submit patches to libvirt upstream.

I got some spare time to add vbox 6.0 and 6.1 support. Note it has only been compile tested, so we're looking for interested users to try it out and give feedback...
