Mouse Invisible in VirtualBox guest

By

In VirtualBox 3.0.2, I have noticed that most of the times the mouse goes invisible on text areas. For example, if you are in Notepad, once you starting writing some text in the text area the mouse pointer goes into the black hole. The work around is really easy. Go to (Windows XP) Control Panel –> Mouse –> Pointers, then select Windows Black (system scheme).

I apologise, but, in my opinion, you are not right. Write to me in PM, we will discuss.

Or you can post what you think needs to be changed here. Note that with later versions of VBox (>3.1.x) this was not observed.

The following add-ins could not be started MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform

Installing MonoDevelop in OpenSUSE 12.2 from its repository was very easy. When running it for the first time though I got the message: The following add-ins could not be started: The root of the trace shows MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform,2.8 A quick search shows that MonoDevelop depends on libgnomeui . This should have been part of dependencies when installing the application but well.... Below is the screen shot of the error message. References: http://software.1713.n2.nabble.com/MonoDevelop-and-openSUSE-12-1-td7462957.html [2013/04/09] - Same issue observed in OpenSUSE 12.3 and also the same fix. [2014/11/02] - Same issue observed in OpenSUSE 13.3, mondevelop 3.0.6 and the same fix.

Tried to update my Ubuntu host today and it did pickup that new version of VirtualBox is available (4.1.8). All other packages installed properly except that VirtualBox installation was complaining about missing dkms.conf file, see error message below. $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] * Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules Error!
