VirtualBox
Hi,
I installed virtual box on Elyssa, and I have these packages :
- virtualbox-ose,
- virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-2.6.24-19-generic (automatically installed)
- virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-2.6.24-19-virtual (automatically installed)
- virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-generic
- virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-virtual
- virtualbox-ose-guest-utils
- virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic (automatically installed)
- virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-virtual (automatically installed)
- virtualbox-ose-modules-generic
- virtualbox-ose-modules-virtual
Now, I have those Grub options :
1 : Linux Mint, kernel 2.6.24-19-virtual
2 : Linux Mint, kernel 2.6.24-19-virtual (recovery mode)
3 : Linux Mint, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic
4 : Linux Mint, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic (recovery mode)
5 : Linux Mint, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic
6 : Linux Mint, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic (recovery mode)
7 : Linux Mint, kernel memtest86+
I didn't paid attention, but I think that I had #5, 6 and 7 after the 1st installation, 3 and 4 after update, and 1 and 2 after virtualbox installation.
My problem is that when I start Mint with 1, I have no network connection (ifconfig shows only lo interface). If I start it with 3, network is Ok, but I have no sound, and if I start it with 5, all is Ok but wirtualbox is not working well (no mouse/keyboard capture).
How can I have Virtualbox weorking well, with sound and network ?
Did I install the right modules ? Maybe too much and not the right ones ?

Re: VirtualBox
This is why we developed mintUpdate and categorized the updatesIf I start it with 3, network is Ok, but I have no sound, and if I start it with 5, all is Ok
The kernel update has broken sound
I may have a fix for that
Code: Select all
find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd
Code: Select all
sudo aptitude install linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic
and I actually don't know what
Linux Mint, kernel 2.6.24-19-virtual
really is
Well it's headers for virtualbox (I presume) but what does it do?

Re: VirtualBox
I have installed Linux Mint R1, updated Levels 1,2,3 from mintUpdates. I have installed VirtualBOX OSE from the Software Portal.
With different installations of Linux Mint5R1, I have don't this 3 times, each unsuccessful. (I rather just get it myself from the website).
I really want to just use the software portal. So I will detail what I have done
1) Fresh Install
2) mintUpdate
3) Download & Execute Virtualbox.mint
4) Add myself to vbox group
5) Execuit Vbox with error
As this article mentioned, I ran the following with no changes to the error (i also installed dependencies)
I then ran
What DO I DO!!!!

Re: VirtualBox
FIXED!!!! I restarted with my new kernel, So what step fixed this mess. Why doesn't VirtualBox work from Softwareportal without complications
Re: VirtualBox
Well, the fix was not completely unexpected...
But
But
confuses me - I thought you had Virtualbox in Elyssa - do you have another Mint in it?Why doesn't VirtualBox work from Softwareportal without complications
Re: VirtualBox
I initially tried the non OSE version of VBox, it worked without issues (on Daryna). On Elyssa I tried the OSE version, but it failed to start with kernel module error. Then I found from Synaptic, there is some kernel module for 2.6.24 version of kernel. I installed it & VBox started working fine. I dont find any extra entries in my grub menu.lst though.

Re: VirtualBox
Thanks for your support. I now have a new kernel, and have learned somethings new.
Re: VirtualBox
I just installed virtualbox from the software portal.
A virtual session won't start, and displays a kernal module error.
Why doesn't this work?
Why are there no special instructions in the software portal?
I thought the software portal contained packages known to work?
If there is a workaround it should be documented, don't you think?
So, how can I make this program actually work?

Re: VirtualBox
I installed virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-2.6.24-16-generic and virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-16-generic from synaptic (package manager) to make my virtualbox work. My kernel version is 2.6.24 you may have to choose the one that suits your kernel version (uname -a).
Re: VirtualBox
Extremely vague on what will fix this as I get the same error of 1908. Searched for the packet as it says I'm using version 2.0.4 of Virtual Box, to find no package to install to fix it. Tried installing a new kernel as sugg
ested and that proved unsuccessful as well

Re: VirtualBox
Upon further searching it shows the file in /dev/vboxdrv. not loading. Search shows that file doesn't even exist.
