Downgrade VirtualBox AS3104

[williansnovaes]

Today in the app center, an update for VirtualBox 5.2.22.r09 appeared, I was on 5.2.22.r08 and everything was working perfectly.

It turns out that now with version 5.2.22.r09, the Virtualbox Extension Pack for VirtualBox, has not been updated and remains in 5.2.22.r04, it is not possible to use VirtualBox, the versions do not talk.

Can you release an update for the Virtualbox Extension Pack, or do you have the APK of version 5.2.22.r08, so I can downgrade?

I've got exactly the same problem and I can't use none of my VMs anymore, because the extension pack is required for the remote desktop functionality
Is there any source from where I can download the old package, as there is no fix since for at least a month?

You can fix this issue yourself without relying on a new VirtualBox ExtPack release on ADM's App Central.

You do this by:
1. Downloading the latest ExtPack from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_5_2 and scp-ing it to your NAS
2. SSH into your NAS using 'admin' user and then sudo to root user and then do

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/AppCentral/virtualbox/bin

3. Run

Code: Select all

./VBoxManage extpack

commands described here https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08. ... ge-extpack to do whatever you need to do, i.e.

3a. Install ExtPack:

Code: Select all

root@AS:/volume1/.@plugins/AppCentral/virtualbox/bin # ./VBoxManage extpack install --replace /volume1/Download/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.2.44.vbox-extpack

Successfully installed "Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack".

3b. Confirm ExtPack is installed:

Code: Select all

root@AS:/volume1/.@plugins/AppCentral/virtualbox/bin # ./VBoxManage list extpacks
Extension Packs: 1
Pack no. 0:   Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack
Version:      5.2.44
Revision:     139111
Edition:
Description:  USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 Host Controller, Host Webcam, VirtualBox RDP, PXE ROM, Disk Encryption, NVMe.
VRDE Module:  VBoxVRDP
Usable:       true
Why unusable:

Do not forget to restart your VMs after the ExtPack installation. RDP should work after the restart.

FYI - I personally do not rely on this RDP mechanism via phpVirtualBox. I have static ips assigned to my VMs and have VNC Servers running in them. So whenever I need to access the VMs, I just VNC into them directly.

Thank you so much for your help, now it works like a charm again And I appreciate your advice to use a separate vnc client, so i don't get into that situation again
