Comment (by diver):
Replying to [comment:22 rq]:
> OK, apparently, HaikuDepot points to snapshot URLs by default. E.g. with
a just downloaded nightly build, the Haiku repository points to
{{{.../r1~alpha4_pm_href48408}}}, and HaikuDepot pointed to (presumingly)
some git commit id, until I changed it to 'current' manually.
By default package repositories are configured to point to the revision
the image was built with. (HaikuDepot has nothing to do with it btw). You
can update them using this guide https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/daily-
tasks/updating-system.
> Then the last question: I've installed guest additions, shut Haiku down,
changed mouse setting back to PS/2 mouse, and booted Haiku again, and it
acts just like it acted when no guest additions were installed: mouse
integration doesn't work, and I can't find any relevant shortcut in the
feather menu. Am I missing something?
Apparently, there it no VirtualBox specific mouse filter add-on (yet?). So
Mouse integration only works with "USB tablet".
> '''Edit:''' I found the three {{{VBox*}}} executables under
{{{/boot/system/bin}}}. I launched all three of them, and {{{VBoxTray}}}
added itself to the tray (and to autostart), but that's all that changed.
Still no mouse integration, and upon reboot, {{{VBoxService}}} actually
crashed.
You need to enable clipboard sharing in VM settings first and make sure
that {{{VBoxTray}}} is running. It crashes only the first time upon
reboot. VBoxTray sometimes stops working and you have to quit Deskbar
using ProcessController and start it again from Desktop context menu.
