Fedora 33安装VirtualBox 6.1

目前virtualbox只有fedora32的rpm包，没有fedora33的。
去VirtualBox官网下载VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.18_142142_fedora32-1.x86_64.rpm，用sudo rpm -i命令安装：

[octopus@pc3 Downloads]$ sudo rpm -ivh VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.18_142142_fedora32-1.x86_64.rpm  
warning: VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.18_142142_fedora32-1.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 98ab5139: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
    python(abi) = 3.8 is needed by VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.18_142142_fedora32-1.x86_64

提示python的版本号不对，参照nothing provides python(abi) = 3.8 needed by VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.16_140961_fedora32-1.x86_64 - 张同光 - 博客园给出的解决方法，用rpmrebuild工具修改rpm里面的版本要求：

$ sudo dnf install rpmrebuild
$ rpmrebuild --change-spec-requires='sed -e "s/python(abi) = 3.8/python(abi) >= 3.8/"' --package VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.18_142142_fedora32-1.x86_64.rpm
（省略一大堆警告消息）

最后提示修改后的rpm文件路径：
result: /home/octopus/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.18_142142_fedora32-1.x86_64.rpm

安装修改后的rpm包：

[octopus@pc3 Downloads]$ cd ../rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/
[octopus@pc3 x86_64]$ ls
VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.18_142142_fedora32-1.x86_64.rpm
[octopus@pc3 x86_64]$ sudo rpm -ivh VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.18_142142_fedora32-1.x86_64.rpm

安装成功！

还有更简单的安装方法。在官网上点击All distributions (built on EL6 and therefore not requiring recent system libraries)链接，下载VirtualBox-6.1.18-142142-Linux_amd64.run，赋予文件执行权限后，直接运行就能完成安装了：

[octopus@pc3 Downloads]$ chmod +x VirtualBox-6.1.18-142142-Linux_amd64.run
[octopus@pc3 Downloads]$ sudo ./VirtualBox-6.1.18-142142-Linux_amd64.run

这两种安装方法安装6.1.18版本后，都遇到了全屏模式下鼠标左右键完全失效的问题（主机和虚拟机都无法控制），只能移动鼠标指针，现在还不知道怎么解决.。。
安装老版本VirtualBox-5.2.44-139111-Linux_amd64.run又安装不上，提示找不到<linux/smp_lock.h>文件。

但只要不去碰全屏模式上面的virtualbox菜单，鼠标就不会失效。可以在虚拟机设置里面将菜单隐藏，避免无意中碰到菜单导致鼠标按键失效。

关于sudo /sbin/vboxconfig报错的问题：

[octopus@pc3 ~]$ sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

There were problems setting up VirtualBox.  To re-start the set-up process, run
  /sbin/vboxconfig
as root.  If your system is using EFI Secure Boot you may need to sign the
kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load
them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.

修改/opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxhost/vboxnetflt/linux/VBoxNetFlt-linux.c文件，添加#include <linux/ethtool.h>即可解决问题。

2021-05-01：Fedora34+VirtualBox6.1.22仍然没有解决鼠标指针失效的bug。而且还新增了一个bug：隐藏全屏菜单后，鼠标指针完全消失，不显示。点鼠标右键又能弹出右键菜单，但就是不显示鼠标指针。
还是老老实实用窗口模式吧！最好把虚拟机里面旧的增强工具卸载了，再重装最新的。

2023-01-25：卸载用脚本安装的VirualBox6.1.22。
先解压压缩包到a文件夹（不需要用sudo）。
[octopus@pc3 Downloads]$ mkdir a
[octopus@pc3 Downloads]$ ./VirtualBox-6.1.22-144080-Linux_amd64.run --target a

然后执行其中的uninstall脚本。
[octopus@pc3 Downloads]$ cd a
[octopus@pc3 a]$ sudo ./uninstall.sh
