[SOLVED] No module for virtualbox-ose with 2.6.27

Hi there,
I just upgraded and noticed, that virtualbox isn't starting. Probing vboxdrv manually doesn't work because there is no module for the current kernel. The packages virtualbox-modules was upgraded with the system-upgrade. I'm using virtualbox-modules-2.0.2-3.pkg.tar.gz.
So I'm compiling the modules manually with ABS right now, will report the results.
Edit: After compiling and installing, there is still no working module

You only need to recompile virtualbox-modules. I did that yesterday and worked flawlessly.
The thing you have to notice, is that you must update the kernel version defined in the PKGBUILD and virtualbox-modules.install:
cp -r /var/abs/community/modules/virtualbox-modules .
cd virtualbox-modules
sed -i 's|2.6.26-ARCH|2.6.27-ARCH|' PKGBUILD virtualbox-modules.install
makepkg

Build modules for Virtualbox 4.2 guest

I expected to see packages for virtualbox 4.2 guest additions in package lists. Is there some reason why there aren't any?
Also, is there some reason why installing kernel source has to be such a PITA?
Building modules against installed kernel source is so easy --like with virtualbox guest additions.

I dunno, version 4.1 works fine enough. Do you need version 4.2 for a particular usage-type-thing?

Custom login module for EP7.4 with Captcha

Hi
I am trying to create a custom login module which validates the captcha shown at the login screen using SAP help link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/48/ff4faf222b3697e10000000a42189b/content.htm?frameset=/en/48/fcea4f62944e88e10000000a421937/frameset.htm&current_toc=/en/74/8ff534d56846e2abc61fe5612927bf/plain.htm&node_id=20
The session is being set in the Captcha servlet which is used to render the image on the login page.
However when I am trying to compare it with input or print the session value, its throwing an exception.
I checked in the NWA logs and it just shows the following error message:
6. com.temp.loginModule.MyLoginModuleClass OPTIONAL ok exception true Authentication did not succeed.
Please help me analyse the error stack. Can someone point where do i check the detailed logs to trace the issue?

Ramanender,
JAAS modules usually requires a restart whenever you need to change them. So be very careful with what you expect once you re-deploy your code.
Once the library is loaded it will never reload itself until you perform a restart of the VM.
Connect to the debug port may help, but basic debugging will not take you too far either.
I would recommend you to use the log tracing facility on your code. Just enter the following class attribute:
import com.sap.tc.logging.Location;
private static final Location trace = Location.getLocation(<your_classname_here>.class);
trace.warningT("Some Warning Text Here..." + variable here);
trace.debugT("Some Warning Text Here..." + variable here);
You may need to go NWA and set the Location Severity Level to Debug according to your needs.
Leave the trace code on your module for IT personnel to debug it if necessary. Don't forget to have the severity level of your code properly set.
Meaning: You don't want to have every trace message your module sills out with warningT() or infoT().
There is a excellent blog here on how this works
Then you will be able to inspect some variable contents while the callbackhandler is being executed.
Pay special attention with the timing - variables have a lifetime when dealing with login modules.
Use the entering(<method_name>) and exiting(<method_name> just ot make sure where in the code the variable should be populated and when.

Ivan

Unable to compile module for Intel VTUNE with 3.16.4-1 kernel

I am currently running 3.16.4-1-ARCH #1 and I tried to compile the kernel module for Intel Vtune XE 2013 (r17).
Unluckily, GCC stops reporting the following errors:
/opt/intel/vtune_amplifier_xe_2013/sepdk/src/vtsspp/collector.c: In function ‘vtss_target_new’:
/opt/intel/vtune_amplifier_xe_2013/sepdk/src/vtsspp/collector.c:985:35: error: ‘VSYSCALL_START’ undeclared (first use in this function)

size = (unsigned long)(VSYSCALL_MAPPED_PAGES * PAGE_SIZE)
As the source code points out:
#include <asm/fixmap.h> /* VSYSCALL_START */
The missing symbols are expected to be found under /usr/lib/modules/3.16.4-1-ARCH/build/arch/x86/include/asm/fixmap.h, but it seems that they are not present anymore.
Grepping the headers could not help at all.
What am I missing here ?

It looks like the macros:
VSYSCALL_START
VSYSCALL_SIZE
VSYSCALL_END
VSYSCALL_MAPPED_PAGES
got dropped after v3.15
I wonder if I need to downgrade.

[solved] Pango modules : text is rendered with squares

Hello
I couldn't find the solution in the forum, so I though I'd post the solution. If your GTK apps display text with squares only, you may have a problem with pango modules. You can debug that by launching the app in a terminal, but it's not that easy if all your apps including the terminal are in GTK...
The solution is to run this command :
pango-querymodules > '/etc/pango/pango.modules'
Normally, this is done when upgrading pango, but sometimes it gets wrong with no reason.
Cilyan

Hello Cilyan,
I got this issue(http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75541), and just today find your topic.
Thank's a lot for a solution and my respects
But, i think that better to place this topic in Desktop Environments forums, because first of all users will think that this problem with x11 and find there first..

[SOLVED] Booting to SD card (mmcblk0) with Grub2

I have a laptop with win7/Ubuntu on the hard drive; this laptop also has an SDHC slot.
For my own reasons I decided to install Arch on an SD card.
I installed arch according to this very helpful post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=398679
Since the system already boots with Grub2 from the Ubuntu install I skipped the grub install steps.
My BIOS cannot boot to SD cards (even with the bootable flag set on the mmcblk0p1 partition)
I booted into Ubuntu and ran update-grub, this added the following entry to the Grub2 boot menu: "Arch (on /dev/mmcblk0p1)"
Booting to this gives three errors:
no such device (error lists correct UUID of SD card)
hd2,1 cannot get C/H/S values
you need to load the kernel first
the entry in grub.cfg is:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry "Arch (on /dev/mmcblk0p1)" {
insmod ext2
set root='(hd2,1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 7b8f752b-2d7e-46f9-9989-77ff1e481b97
linux /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
Last edited by crotonic (2010-05-22 05:23:01)

I have got the system to boot the way I want and will try to detail it for others
1) Make a kernel that can boot an SDHC card
I found this list of needed kernel modules for doing this with ubuntu: http://www.linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11709
First I chroot-ed from ubuntu into my sd card according to: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … ting_Linux
then using the wiki as my guide: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio
I copied /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to a new file /etc/mkinitcpio-custom.conf
and edited the modules line to look like so
MODULES="mmc_core mmc_block sdhci sdhci-pci"
then ran (still while chroot-ed of course) note that the -k option should match the version that you are using (mine is 2.6.33)
# mkinitcpio -c /etc/mkinitcpio-custom.conf -g /boot/kernel26-custom.img -k 2.6.33-ARCH
exit the chroot back to ubuntu
2) Move the files to the boot partition
I am using ubuntu's partition as the boot since that is where grub2 is installed
First I made a copy and renamed vmlinuz26 to vmlinuz26-custom
and another copy/rename to make System.map26-custom
NOTE: I am not sure if renaming these helps/hurts/or doesnt matter (feed back appreciated)
then I moved those 2 files and kernel26-custom.img to the /boot of the ubuntu /
3) Setup a working grub.cfg
Since it is recommended to not edit grub.cfg directly in Grub2 I just added the following entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom
menuentry "Arch (on /dev/mmcblk0p1) custom" {
set root='(hd0,5)'
linux /boot/vmlinuz26-custom root=/dev/mmcblk0p1
initrd /boot/kernel26-custom.img
and run this
update-grub
hd0,5 is grub2 notation for my ubuntu partition (where /boot is of course)
This is all I did to get it running that I can remember
Arch's /etc/fstab is:
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/mmcblk0p1 / ext2 defaults,noatime 0 1
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/fl auto user,noauto 0 0
notice that there is no /boot mount point
I can boot into Arch using the setup I described above with a totally empty /boot on the Arch partition
Should I care that it is not mounted?
I hope this helps other people trying to boot from SD cards

find a more up to date mirror. virtualbox-ose-additions-modules 3.2.4-3 has the proper dependencies

Virtualbox doesn't compiles "vboxdrv" module for 2.6.24 kernel

I installed Virtualbox, however I cannot launch any OS because the vboxdrv module doesn't exists for the latest kernel (I found another module for the 2.6.23 kernel); so the GUI says that I should execute this:
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
However that file doesn't exists. I already tried to uninstall virtualbox and reinstalling from pacman, but still no luck.
What should I do? Is this a bug?
Thanks in advance.

I think that's where the confusion is. When I got the package from AUR it had:
-rw-r--r-- 1 ralvez users 217 2008-01-08 15:58 interfaces
-rw-r--r-- 1 ralvez users 3596 2008-01-20 11:38 PKGBUILD
-rwx------ 1 ralvez users 174 2007-12-30 04:23 vbox_build_module
-rw-r--r-- 1 ralvez users 2384 2007-12-30 07:39 vbox.install
-rw-r--r-- 1 ralvez users 2179 2007-12-30 07:31 vboxnet.patch
So the patch file is there (in bold text) ... and is not executable is a text file. That's why I'm asking if I have to do something with it to make the whole thing work.
Since it is just a plain text file if I try to use it as an upgrade patch it fails with error:
loading package data... error: error while reading package vboxnet.patch: Unrecognized archive format: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
error: failed to add target 'vboxnet.patch'
So, I'm stuck. I see no way to solve the problem.
R.
Edit: On re-reading your post I wonder what package from core are you referring to? I was under the impression that when we use AUR we are "fetching" files not from core but form the AUR source.
Am I wrong?

I has installed VirtualBox, but don't work. In bash appears this:

I think that is necesary qt to GUI. Before working with sdl, with the version of AUR, but now it seems that no. Thanks

Virtualbox-ose, virtualbox-modules 2.2.0 on kernel 2.6.29

Anyone managed to get virtualbox-ose and virtualbox-modules 2.2.0 working on kernel 2.6.29?
I tried editing the virtualbox-modules PKGBUILD like so:
9,10c10,11
< _kernver=2.6.28-ARCH
< pkgver=2.1.2
> _kernver=2.6.29-ARCH
> pkgver=2.2.0
16,17c17,18
< depends=('kernel26>=2.6.28' 'kernel26<2.6.29')
< makedepends=('bin86' 'dev86' 'iasl' 'libstdc++5' 'qt3' 'sdl_ttf' 'libxt'
> depends=('kernel26>=2.6.28' 'kernel26<2.6.30')
> makedepends=('bin86' 'dev86' 'iasl' 'libstdc++5' 'qt3' 'qt4' 'sdl_ttf' 'libxt'
44c45
< md5sums=('ce1360945d65a79dbea1bec997c25c00')
> md5sums=('37bd7d58cf7b6c46998cfd82c1b70573')
to get the makedeps in place I did
pacman -Sy --asdeps dev86 iasl qt3 qt4 sdl_ttf pulseaudio gcc34 xalan-c
But when I run makepkg it can't find Qt4

schuay wrote:isn't qt4 just called qt?
actually qt provides qt4. so If you call pacman -S qt4 it will install qt (which is at version 4.something)
I have qt and qt3 installed.

and you'll also probably need this:
#get virtualbox working with 2.6.29
in /opt/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv/Makefile, uncomment VBOX_USE_INSERT_PAGE and recompile module - should be fixed by 2.6.29.1
for -ose i'm not sure where the Makefile is, but i guess you can find it with grep
I don't think so. I'm running 2.6.29.1

Can't pacman virtualbox-ose [SOLVED]

Hi!
I'm trying to install virtualbox-ose. I've never used it before (as well as any other virtual machine). But the problem is that I can't install it via pacman. It says:
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: klibc-extras: requires klibc-jfflyAahxqaliwAofrf_fdf5upI

:: klibc-module-init-tools: requires klibc-jfflyAahxqaliwAofrf_fdf5upI
:: klibc-udev: requires klibc-jfflyAahxqaliwAofrf_fdf5upI
wtf? What is wrong?
Thanks.
