Error installing virtual box guest additons

On my windows 7 laptop I have virtual box 4.0 . I installed Oracle enterprise linux 5.5 and i want to make a shared folder . When i run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run I get the folowing :
"Your system does not seem to be set up to build kernel modules . If the following module compilation fails then this could be the reason .
The missing package can be probably installed with yum install kernel-devel-2.6.18-195.el5"
After this it invite me to see the content of file /var/log/vboxadd-install.log . In this log it tell me it can not find the kernel sources .
What can I do? I must download anothr version of Oracle enterprise linux? wihich one?
Many thanks,
Aurel

Hello,
I configured the yum tool (as I find out on http://public-yum.oracle.com/) and I run yum install kernel-devel . After that I run sh /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.0.0_69151/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
The process of building kernel modules for Virtual Box additions is ending in error - it doesn't know about gcc tool. In what package there is this tool?
Thank you,
Aurel

Need help installing Virtual box Windows VM's

I am installing virtual box on wife's mac.   I got the instructions here: http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/04/internet-explorer-for-mac-ie7-ie8-ie-9-free/
I did it previously and it all worked well. Recently the windows session license expired so I reinstalled that portion and it worked for about a week. Then the Virtual box program just stopped working.   So I uninstalled the virtual box and am attempting to reinstall all components.
First step is install Virtual box from here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads   This went ok andvirtual box runs but there are no VM's.
There is then a script to install the windows VM's. It is failing.
Script is accessed by copyinf this command into terminal:
curl -s https://raw.github.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | bash
This is the error I get.   It seems there is a file that already exists but I'm stumped as to what to do.

Here is how I install mine, for numbers I will assume you have a 100GB HDD and 2GB of RAM:
Boot from Win7 DVD and create two partitions, then install Windows7 on one of them. During the install Windows will create a 3rd partition to boot from. You will now have:
sda1 - 100MB - Windows Boot - boot flag
sda2 - 50GB - Windows 7 - no flags
sda3 - 50GB - Unpartitioned Space - no flags
Next boot into Arch and choose to manually partition the drives using cfdisk, using the unfinished space create 3 logical partitions of the sizes 100MB, 2GB, and 50GB. Mark the 100MB one you just created with a boot flag and unmark the 100MB one Windows created.
Now you should have:
sda1 - 100MB - Windows Boot - no flags
sda2 - 50GB - Windows 7 - no flags
sda3 - 50GB - Unpartitioned Space - no flags
sda5 - 100MB - Linux Boot - boot flag
sda6 - 2GB - Linux Swap - no flags
sda7 - 50GB - Arch - no flags
Click OK/Confirm/Write and then continue to the next step - File Systems and Mountpoints.
Here you need to set the FS for sda5,6,7 and make sure not to touch sda1,2. Choose ext2 for sda5, swap for sda6, and ext3 for sda7. You will also be asked for mountpoints. Pick "/boot" for sda5 and "/" for sda7. Click OK/Confirm/Write and then continue to install Arch like normal, when you get to installing the bootloader make sure to install it on /dev/sda and uncomment the Windows part of the grub/menu.lst file.
Reboot the system and you are done

Windows 8 will not boot - After install virtual box (virtualization)

I installed virtual box and now I am unable to start window 8.
I read online that there is a known issue with virtualization on windows 8. They suggested trying to toggle virtualization on/off in the bios which has not solved my problem. Does anyone know of anything else I can do to get my install back? I really do
not want to have to re-install windows. I have only had windows 8 installed for three weeks!

I tried upgrading from VirtualBox 4.3.12 to 4.3.20 and ended up with an unbootable machine (Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit). It would come up to the desktop but nothing would work - there were no icons on the desktop, the tray applications didn't seem to be loading,
the transparent task bar was shown as a block of solid colour. Pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL brought up the menu where I could choose Task Manager, but the Task Manager itself would not show up, just a dialog warning me that a process was not responding and asking
if I wanted to end the task (I forget the exact wording). Clicking "End task" that dialog removed the dialog only for it to appear again a minute later. It was not possible to do anything with the machine or to open the Task Manager.
I have updated through a number of versions of VirtualBox without issue. 4.3.20 seems to be a bad update. Unless some other recent update has changed something in Windows so that the VirtualBox update now conflicts.
I forced the system to turn off then used System Restore to reset it to an earlier time. System Restore told me it had failed with an error, but then when I rebooted the machine a dialog came up at the desktop saying that System Restore had succeeded. It
works again now but I am stuck with the older version of VirtualBox.

[Solved] Installing Virtual box

I'm trying to install Virtual box from `.run` file. (I downloaded that from http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb … amd64.run)
I'm runing following command to install Virtual box :
sudo sh VirtualBox-4.3.6-91406-Linux_amd64.run
Gets me following error :
VirtualBox Version 4.3.6 r91406 (2013-12-18T16:33:45Z) installer
Please install the build and header files for your current Linux kernel.
The current kernel version is 3.12.6-1-ARCH
Problems were found which would prevent VirtualBox from installing.
Please correct these problems and try again.
Any helps would be appreciated.

Virtualbox only need the kernel headers during the build phase. Even if that wasn't the case, pacman can handle dependencies just fine.
Indeed, my mistake.

Can I install Virtual Box on my macbook pro safely if filevault is enable? Lion w 8 g memory.

You are going to have to install Windows first.

Virtual Box Guest problems with libgl

Hi.
I had a Virtual Box (under Windows 7 64 bits) running for a few days with no problems.
It run updated Arch, with KDE.
Yesterday the problems started, after doing "pacman -Syu", something has changed...
From now on, when I start X, I only get a black screen.
I've traced the problem to the libgl library - if it's not installed, X starts correctly. If it's there - X fails.
In order to verify my assumption, I've installed a new Virtual Machine according to the "unofficial beginner's guide", installed X, tested it, installed XFCE4, tested it - so far all OK.
Then, I've installed audacity (it also uses libgl, and I wanted to avoid KDE to be sure it's not with them).
And now - there is this failure in the Xorg.0.log:
[ 6552.010] (EE) AIGLX error: vboxvideo does not export required DRI extension
(I wanted to attach the 2 log files, isn't it possible??)
Thanks,

This is a bug in virtualbox. Somebody said it happened upon upgrading nvidia drivers on the host machine: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4789

Virtual Box 4.0.8 Windows Host - Guest Additions problem

Hi,
I have installed Virtual Box 4.0.8 with host O/S Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Processor AMD Phenom II x6 and enabled the VT.
I installed OEL 5.6 and 6.1 guests (both x86_64 version).
But when I installed Guest Additions, nothing happened and only showing maximum resolution *1024x768.*
I never had this problem before with my older machine and older version of Virtual Box.
is this known issues? is this cause by the VT or conflict with the graphic card?
Any advice appreciated
thanks
Lie

This would be better addressed on the VirtualBox forum. see https://www.virtualbox.org/

If so, what is the correct directory to use for: KERN_INCL=
Thanks a lot!

Actually yes, I did read the docs. Shall we say, the docs and the error messages could use some improvement.
ie.
xen is not mentioned at all in the install page. Nor in the table of contents.
Since dkms was "recommended", and the error messages referred to it, I spent a lot of time searching for that package.
You can see all the struggle I've been doing.
It's very highly doubtful I could have installed this without your answers.
Thanks a lot for your help!

If you couldn't read enough posts to figure out which forum was appropriate, how are you going to be able to read replies to your question? You should go back to wherever you found Virtualbox and Solaris and read the product documenteation. Installation instructions are already there.

Network Limited Conectivity & Virtual-Box

Just bought a new Dell Inspiron 3137 laptop, with 64-bit Windows 8.0 installed (not 8.1). I have four legacy 16-bit programs (Bible study, Sermon editor/reference, 2 games) that I need to use as cannot find more recent versions on the market. So initially
tried to use MS Virtual-PC but it would not install, so then installed Virtual-Box followed by Win-Xp. The W8 OS now (after serious setup efforts) connects ok under Wi-Fi and Ethernet to the internet and to computers on my home network. But Virtual-Box
and Xp fails! looking at my "Networks" W8 pop-up window I see an entry of "Unidentified Network" and that it has limited connectivity. Xp indicates "connected" but received packet count is 0.
Think this is a result of my attempts & connections under Virtual-Box. I go to Network and Sharing Center and find first 2 category are enabled but "All Networks" entry is disabled/off and I cannot find any way to enable! I go to
"Network Connections page and I see 6 entries (Bluetooth, Netgear router, broadband, Virtual-Box, etc). I run the troubleshooter on the Virtual-Box link and am informed that it cannot fix & no useful help provided to me by system! No progress
w/ comparability mode on legacy programs.
I have initially informed Dell Technical support then most recently Oracle of this problem >>> both say it is not their product malfunctioning and that errors are in configuration of Windows-8 >> but no help.
This is serious irritation as have already wasted about 40 hours chasing/messing with this problem >>>> NEED HELP AND SUGGESTIONS - PLEASE!
Thanks .....

Thanks Kevin for the reply, but no progress here. I am completely new to Windows 8.0 and slightly new to any networking, so keep that in mind should you decide to reply again, A.K.A., I might need a bit of step-by-step assistance .....
The symptoms here : My new Dell computer finally now connects by wi-fi to home network, has always connected to internet. I am using Virtual-Box v4.12.18 w/ Xp Pro, SP-3. Under Xp in Network I note that it shows "Connected" but received packet
count is 0, sent packet count is hundreds. Looking within W8 at advanced settings, I see 3 network types, 1) Private = enabled, 2) Guest = enabled, 3) All = NOT enabled (and I can find no click, link or setting that
will enable). Have tried with Network Discovery on & off, and with File Sharing on & off, and with 56-bit & 128-bit encryption selected alternatively. So run the Troubleshooter = first pass informed
it could not fix problem : later, troubleshooter stated it fix some problem(s) with incoming connections = at that point I looked and found that under W8 both sent & received packet count was into low thousand but Xp still showed 0 receive.
When I look at Networks under W8 I see "Netgear52" W/ no errors, then see either "Unidentified Network (limited connectivity) OR randomly see "VirtualBox (Limited Connectivity) and so think Netgear52 is what I should be using.
Again under W8 networking pages, I try "Setup Network - Chose Wireless Router" am asked for SSID (whatever?) but showing nothing after 10-minutes. Have made all efforts both with & without Firewall on Xp & I think on W8 also, no changes
to Security Essentials Xp is in NAT mode and have not yet tried "Bridged."
"ipconfig?"
Base system here are : Dell 3137 Inspiron laptop, Win 8.0 + Win-Xp Pro. Motorola Surfboard cable modem. Netgear52 router. Various home networked Eithernet connected computers. Various Tablet & eBook readers connected Wi-Fi. No other component is
reporting any errors and all work Ok. Xp is Ok except zero connectivity to Internet and home network. Need to get Xp connected so can access data for legacy programs off home & church networks.
So your help seriously appreciated! Bill

Windows 10 Virtual Box - Hyperthreading Not Supported on PC

I am trying to install Windows 10 in Virtual Box on my HP Pavilion DV6 running Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I set up the Win10 virtual machine following these instructions: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/how-to-install-windows-10-developers-preview-in/e98dd450-02d2-4519-b6a3-6743bedcf777
However, I am receiving the following error: 'VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) require this feature and will fail to boot without it.' When I click continue, the VM provides the following
message: 'Your PC needs to restart. Please hold down the power button. Error Code: 0x0000000A Parameters: 0xFFD00000 0x000000FF 0x0000000A 0x8192F5E3'
After some further research, I found that I need to enable virtualization and hyperthreading. I downloaded Speccy and determined that my PC is capable of virtualization, and it was already enabled; however, hyperthreading is not supported. I have been hearing
good things about Windows 10, and I should really like to give it a test run. Is the error with Virtual Box or Windows 10 or Windows 10 running in Virtual Box? Is there anything I can do to make it work? Thanks for any help.

Any reason why you would not consider dual boot Win 7 and Win 10 TP ?
I had an Acer Aspire laptop running Win 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit. I dual booted with Win 10 TP. That's starting from build 9841 to 9926. I dual booted twice and I had no problem doing it.

What is your host OS?
If its linux, you should make yourself a member of the vboxusers group.

Problems with getting internet explorer on my mac with virtual box 4.3.20, who can help?

This is what I did:
1) downloaded and installed virtual box 4.3.20
2) copied
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | IEVMS_VERSIONS="11" bash
in the Terminal (for IE 11 only). I got this from the link: Internet Explorer for Mac the Easy Way: Run IE 7, IE8, & IE9 Free in a Virtual Machine
3) that is where things went wrong, see attached image for the error I get (after a long time) in the Terminal
Tried it twice but every time the same problem.. I hope someone can help me!

The error means that your download session was interrupted. There could be a problem with your Internet connection or a problem with the remote server providing the download. If you otherwise have no trouble with Internet, I suspect the later.
But why would you want to bother downloading someone's virtual machine to run MS Internet Explorer? Not only is there a real security risk since you don't know what the VM or installation script is doing, but if the VM is running MS Windows, then the person providing the software is breaching software distribution and copyrights laws, and so will you, using the software.
Btw, have you read any of the comments? Do you really want to download 20GB? (nonsense)
If you need IE and VirtualBox, simply create a new VM and install MS Windows using a regular copy and enter your license code. There is also no need to install different versions of IE, since IE can be configured to run as a prior version.
However, there is no need to install and run MS Windows to run IE. There are products that provide free Windows API to let you run PC applications as they were Mac applications without installing Windows, e.g. Wineskin, Wine Bottler, or commercial solutions, such as Crossover.
