Anyone else having issues getting the VB drivers to load on 1708? I keep gettting an "Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel..." message. I do have kernel-devel installed and I had no issues running 1611 on the same host. Thanks

Check out the CentOS 1708 release notes. Workaround is to use VirtualBox 5.1.26 with the 5.1.27 VBoxGuestAdditions.iso.

Hi, I have a fresh CentOS 5.8 Vagrant VM that I''m using to emulate a customer''s server. During the first Puppet run, it takes 13 minutes and 48 seconds to sync the Puppet Labs stdlib module. On a similar Ubuntu 12.04.1 Vagrant VM, Puppet starts up, and almost instantly goes from plugin sync to facter load. Is this load time for stdlib on a RHEL variant normal?

Hi, attached is an updated [1] patch for virt-v2v to support converting VirtualBox guests with VirtualBox Guest Additions [2] installed. With the patch applied a VirtualBox RHEL 6 guest with Guest Additions can be converted with the steps documented in the manual page. I've tested this patch on a RHEL 6.2 host running VirtualBox 4.1.8 using a RHEL 6.2 guest, the guest works as expected

This is a new conversion module to convert SUSE Linux and openSUSE guests. The converter is based on the RedHat module, and should offer the same functionality on both SUSE and RedHat hosts. There are a few additional messages in this module, such as reporting of packages when installing through zypper or the local virt-v2v repo. These messages don't necessarily flow unless verbose switches
