这是如何在Arch Linux上安装最新VirtualBox，VirtualBox Guest添加和扩展包的教程。
ARCH Linux是最可自定义的，如果不是最佳的可定制Linux发行版。
在Arch Linux上，我们可以轻松获得从Pacman镜像的最新VirtualBox

什么是VirtualBox？

正如我们所知道的，VirtualBox是一个免费的跨平台的消费者虚拟化产品。
它是家庭/个人使用的最常用的管理程序之一。
它允许我们在现有操作系统的顶部运行多个操作系统。
它可以自由使用，可以在Windows，Linux和UNIX系统上运行。

VirtualBox对免费VMware播放器的一个主要优势是用于管理虚拟机的Vagrant工具是免费的，用于VirtualBox。
但是，使用VMware，我们必须使用与VMware集成的Vagrant的付费版本。

在Arch Linux上安装VirtualBox

在Arch Linux上安装VirtualBox很容易，只需在终端上发出以下命令，并且安装了virtualbox。

[root at darkpy]# pacman -S virtualbox virtualbox-guest-iso

下一步是启用VirtualBox内核模块以在启动时自动加载。

[root at darkpy]# systemctl enable vboxweb.service 
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vboxweb.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxweb.service.

达到此步骤，我们已安装VirtualBox，VirtualBox-Guest - {ISO，Utils，DKMS}。
唯一的剩余部分是安装扩展包为USB 2.0设备，VirtualBox RDP和PXE引导提供支持。
使用以下步骤安装它：安装Yaourt和Rdesktop准备工作：

[root at darkpy]# pacman -S yaourt
[root at darkpy]# pacman -S rdesktop

安装VirtualBox Extension Pack：

[root at darkpy]# yaourt -Syu

确保我们将下面运行作为非root用户。

[josepy at darkpy]# yaourt -S virtualbox-ext-oracle

Sorry for flagging out-of-date, pamac hadn’t checked for updates and I missed the last updated time.

It is now actually out-of-date, as the newly-packaged VirtualBox 5.0.10 complains about the 5.0.8 extension pack.

Dependeny to ’fakeroot’ is wether checked nor mentioned!

bartki commented on 2014-12-07 11:00    
@mabra: ’fakeroot’ is a member of the package group ’base-devel’, which is a prerequisite for building packages. Therefore it is not necessary to specify it as a build dependency.

@seblu. 
I am the current maintainer of virtualbox-bin in AUR.
As virtualbox-bin and virtualbox-ext-oracle are related (a newer version of virtualbox-bin without an updated virtualbox-ext-oracle will not work), Jan I suggest making eachother co-maintainer?

如果我们从Oracle VirtualBox的手动下载扩展包，则可以使用以下命令安装：

[root at darkpy]#VBoxManage extpack install <.vbox-extpack>

如果我们将使用vboxWeb，我们可以启动启动启动。

[root at darkpy]#systemctl enable vboxweb.service 
[root at darkpy]# systemctl start vboxweb.service

手动调用VirtualBox模块的开始

#/sbin/rcvboxdrv setup

然后检查：

[root at darkpy]# ps ax | grep -i vbox
