VirtualBox 4.0.2
Seguimos con actualizaciones de aplicaciones mientras estuve ausente. Le toca el turno a VirtualBox, el excelente programa de virtualización que ha sido actualizado a su versión 4.0.2 con esta extensa lista de cambios:
- GUI: don’t crash if a removable host drive referenced from the VM settings vanished
- GUI: fixed a crash when using the KDE4 Oxygen theme and clicked on the settings button
- GUI: properly warn if the machine folder cannot be created
- GUI: several fixes for multimonitor X11 guests
- ExtPack: don’t make the installer helper application suid root (Linux .deb/.rpm packages only)
- ExtPack: improved user experience on Vista / Windows 7 when installing an extension pack
- ExtPack: fixed issue with non-ascii characters in the path name during installing an extension pack

- Storage: don’t eject the physical medium if a DVD/CDROM/floppy drive is detached

Si, ya lo probé de hecho desde la primera versión que sacaron la 4.0.0, pero note un detalle cuando lo instaladas en ubuntu 10.10 los usb no los reconoce, es decir que no encuentra el driver correcto en windows 7 y ese problema nunca lo había tenido con versiones anteriores, alguien ya lo probo?, y sobre todo a tenido algún problema parecido al mio?, en lo demás me reconoce todos los dispositivos como son red, audio. salud2
