Solaris Virtualbox host fails install of extension pack
This problem started after I upgraded to the latest Oracle Solaris 11 and tried to install the VirtualBox 4.1.6 update. When I would go to add the new Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack I would enter a username and password and the install fails.
The current workaround is to use VBoxManage from the command line to install the extension pack.
VBoxManage extpack install <extension file>

Thanks for that tip !!!
I was running circles around that one. Figured I had some access/permissions issues, but couldn’t figure them out.
Seems that Oracle’s way of updating a User Manual is to change its version number and that’s it.
That, and the new RBAC-enforced root role.. Oh well… thanks for your tip !
