  1. Toolchain for DSM6 beta 2 is out. Can we expect Virtualbox soon to run on DSM6 perhaps? :smile:

     

    No real reason for VirtualBox when Synology is providing a QEMU/KVM alternative for DSM 6 called "Virtual DSM Manager".

     

     

    Here is the description:

    Virtual DSM Manager allows you to create and run multiple virtual machines on your Synology NAS. With Virtual DSM, you can allocate hardware resources more flexibly, build a virtualization environment, and migrate your virtual machines among hosts without disruption.
  2. You can't since DI4bI0 has not released a spk for version 5.0.16-105871 - http://spk.diablos-netzwerk.de/#hidehistory_virtualbox

     

    If you need it now, then you can try to modify the installer.sh and change:

     

    From:

    VIRTUALBOX_VER="5.0.14"
    VIRTUALBOX_BUILD="105127"

    To:

    VIRTUALBOX_VER="5.0.16"
    VIRTUALBOX_BUILD="105871"

     

    The install script will then download the latest package from virtualbox.org during the setup.

     

    DISCLAIMER it might not work, the kernel module files might be version specific.

  3. I was thinking about about writing a spk app, so you could do the same directly from the DSM UI.

     

    It could include features such as:

    - One click update + auto restart option

    - Auto update

    - Version check/inform about availability of new bootloader

    - Safe to update widget

    - Quick set of safe system update settings
