https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D216684 Bug ID: 216684 Summary: virtualbox-ose VBox.sh sets an incomplete PATH causing other applications to intermittently fail. Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mrT1188123@gmail.com This issue has to do with VirtualBox-ose the part that runs on the host. I was experiencing intermittent issues were some executeables were not found (on the host) I traced the issue to /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VBox.sh VBox.sh hard-codes: PATH=3D"/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin" and launches: /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox According to FreeBSD audit trails, VirtualBox launches: 'kdeinit4 Running..= .' (/usr/local/bin/kdeinit4) inheriting that PATH. Since that is the second 'kdeinit4 Running...' (and not exclusive to VirtualBox) running on my system I was experiencing some executables workin= g OK where some would not be found. It is not clear to me why VirtualBox is launching this second copy of 'kdeinit4 Running...' but I might suggest either getting VirtualBox to use = it for its exclusive purposes or to establish the PATH more consistent with wh= at everything else uses. The most obvious missing part of that PATH is '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/b= in' It would seem best to inherit a PATH rather than hard-code it. I have done some testing with just committing out that hard-coded PATH and it seems to work better. Version info: virtualbox-ose 5.1.12 Options : ALSA : off DBUS : on DEBUG : off GUESTADDITIONS : on MANUAL : off NLS : on PULSEAUDIO : off PYTHON : on QT4 : on QT5 : off R0LOGGING : off UDPTUNNEL : on VDE : off VNC : on VPX : off WEBSERVICE : on X11 : on .
