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?

Delphi doesn't compile the examples for DIO32HS

Delphi doesn't compile the examples for DIO32HS
Some libraries appear to be required,
but there are none supplied
According to the manual, one ActiveX should be sufficient.
What version is the source provided ?

The NI CD is Version 6.9.2
There are examples : \National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\Delphi
There is no mention which Version of Delphi,
I have 3,5 and 6. However there should be components
to be installed into Delphi as DigitalWaveformContinous
requires TCWNumEdit, TCWDI and so on.
It also requires the units CWUIControlsLib_TLB,
CWAnalysisControlsLib_TLB, CWDAQControlsLib_TLB which are not part of Delphi istself but have to be provided
by NI.
Today I'm going to try Borland C++Builder, of which
I have version 4 and 5. This will also require some
components to be installed in BCB, I couldn't find them
yet.
\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\BorlandC
BTW: this ActiveX that was talked about couldn't be
found on the drive either. no *.ocx
It cannot be that hard. I just want a procedure
to setup the PCI-DIO-32HS, in terms of what is input
and output, how the handshaking is done and then
read/write to the port.

[Solved] Can not build modules for VMware Player after kernel updates

I have a problem generating the modules for VMware Player after kernel updates. I am using VMware Player version 5.02 (without patches) and the softlink according to the Wiki.
When I start the installation of the modules from the GUI, the program just closes. Running vmware-modconfig in the CLI generates the following log file:

Today, (Kernel 3.10.5-1, VMware Player version 5.02 with kernel patches) the modules could successful be generated from the CLI:
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
Solved (somehow).

Compiling STREAM module for 64-bit kernel

Hi,
I am trying to compile a STREAM module for Solaris. The results I get when I execute "isalist" and "isainfo -kv" are:
-"sparcv9+vis sparcv9 sparcv8plus+vis sparcv8plus sparcv8 sparcv8-fsmuld sparcv7 sparc"
-"64-bit sparcv9 kernel modules"
The host is a Ultra5_10 with SunOS 5.7 sun4u sparc.
First I tried to compile the module with gcc 2.8.1 but altough the compilation apparentelly finisihed OK I did not get to load the module. Later I read that, gcc so far does not generate binaries for 64-bit sparc.
So I installed the Sun WorkShop 5 environment (try version) and I tried to compile my sources with the following line:"cc -D_KERNEL -xarch=v9 -xcode=abs32 -xregs=no%appl -x03 -I. -I/usr/include -c mymodule.c"
but I get a huge list of errors such as:
"/usr/include/sys/thread.h/, line73:warning: volatile is a keyworkd in
ANSI C"
"/usr/include/sys/thread.h/, line 73:sintax error before or at:volatile"
so if I compile adding the directire "-D_ASM" to the previous line, the list of errors descreases to 2 lines:
"/usr/include/sys/kstat.h, line 52: sintax error before or at: hrtime_t"
"/usr/include/sys/kstat.h, line 52: cannot recover from previous errors".
I have also tried adding directives such as: -D_LP64 -D__sparcv9 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE, -D_XOPEN_SOURCE but I do not get to compile it successfully.
Could someone be so kind to give me a clue of what I am doing wrong, and what should I do in order to compile it??.
The header files I have included right now in my ".c" are:
#include <sys/stream.h>
#include <sys/conf.h>
#include <sys/modctl.h>
#include <sys/kmem.h>
#include <sys/cmn_err.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
#include <sys/sunddi.h>
If I do not add the directives -I. -I/usr/include to the compile line above I get the following error:
"/usr/include/sys/modctl.h, line 185: major, argument mismatch"
"/usr/include/sys/cred.h, line 51: sintax error before or at: uint_t"
But this is because the environment it is taken the /usr/ucbinclude as default include path instead of the "/usr/include". �which one should I consider?.
Thank in advance for your support.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
(could you please send to me the answeres to this e-mail:[email protected]??)

Elena

HI,
Maybe a file I can edit that says to run the Garmin stuff in 32-bit mode?
Right or control click the Garmin application (or utility) then click: Get Info
In the Get Info window under the General tab, if it can be enabled you should see:
Open in 32-bit mode.
Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities) shows all apps running in 64 bit. If it doesn't have 64 bit under Kind on the right, then it's running in 32 bit mode.

Pcmcia token ring card problems or how to compile a module?

i have a pcmcia token ring ibm card. i run 2.6.23-ARCH kernel. I know that the correct module is ibmtr_cs (from a previous distribution). When i trie to modprobe ibmtr_cs it tells me that the module doesn't exist. Searching my system i found that in /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-ARCH/include/linux/ibmtr.h there is something like a module... Does this mean that i have to compile my own kernel? in this case how can i do it? is it possible to compile only the module?
thanks nik

Maybe you only have to compile that module, for your kernel, instead of a whole kernel recompile? On how to do that, I don't know, sorry.
Maybe someone else knows.

How to compile a kernel module without recompiling the whole kernel?

Hi,
I'm pretty sure my question is a bit newbish, still I haven't been able to found any information/solution to my problem in 3days.
The kernel I use doesn't come with the module I need for my hardware and I would like to know if there's a way to compile it without having to make a new kernel myself (since compiling the kernel takes ages on my machine).
Even if your answer is a "Let me Google that for you", I'm so desperate that I'll be happy to see it.
Thank you all in advance for your answers!

Do you have a /proc/config.gz that you could use? Otherwise I don't know. I mean, many modules should be compilable simply with the system-installed kernel headers, but not all native modules might follow that rule.
Unfortunatel most of what you find on the web talks about how to create new modules which can be compild against the installed kernel tree, not about how to compile one of the native kernel modules against it.
Actually, try what those links suggest.
Skip the configuration part, and just do:
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$(PWD)/drivers/video modules
(maybe `make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$(PWD)/drivers/video clean` first )
EDIT: Meh, that uses your config and won't build that driver... there must be some way though
EDIT2: Try:
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$(PWD)/drivers/video modules CONFIG_FB_VT8623=m CONFIG_FB_SVGALIB=m
The problem though is, that they might have removed some of the dependencies of the module, so if it doesn't compile, you'll have to recompile the kernel.
Good thing is though, you can use their .config as base (found in /usr/src/linux-..../.config)
You can also check if your config "supports" your module by putting it into the kernel source tree, running `make menuconfig` and typing /8623 and pressing enter.
The last line in that screen should read:
Selects: <list of options>
As long as all of those options are either =y or =m, you're good. SVGALIB can be =n because it's part of drivers/video/ and you can compile it together with your module.

[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
Last edited by crom (2008-10-15 20:04:36)

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

Compiling a SOAP module for PHP5 in Leopard

Hi. I thought I'd try to compile a SOAP module for the stock PHP installation in MacOSX Leopard.
I snagged the php-5.2.5 sources from php.net, and used the compile arguments found in the "php -i" command. I only added "--with soap=shared --enable-shared", like this:
*./configure '--prefix=/usr' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--disable-dependency-tracking' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--with-ldap=/usr' '--with-kerberos=/usr' '--enable-cli' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--enable-trans-sid' '--with-xml' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbregex' '--enable-dbx' '--enable-sockets' '--with-iodbc=/usr' '--with-curl=/usr' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--sysconfdir=/private/etc' '--with-openssl' '--with-xmlrpc' '--with-xsl=/usr' '--with-pear' --enable-soap=shared --enable-shared*
This builds just fine.
Then I:
~ copy php_src/modules/soap.so to /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/
~ set extension_dir="/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/" and add extension=soap.so in /private/etc/php.ini
If I run "php -i" now, I get
*dyld: NSLinkModule() error*
*dyld: Symbol not found: _OnUpdateLong*
*Referenced from: /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/soap.so*
*Expected in: flat namespace*
*Trace/BPT trap*
I found an OnUpdateLong function in php_src/ext/zlib/zlib.c, but I don't know if that's relevant.
What am I doing wrong?
(Yes, I know that there are several third-party stand alone php intallations for MacOSX (MacPorts, Fink, Entropy...), but I'd really like to just make the stock PHP work.)

Now I've tried using the php source from
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/Current/apachemodphp-44/
as well. I've just added "--enable-shared --enable-soap=shared
--enable-zlib=shared" to the Makefile and removed the mysql-related lines.
After running make and copying soap.so and zlib.so to /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/, the results are basically the same:
The "symbol not found: _OnUpdateLong" came from missing zlib, but zlib complains about another missing symbol: zend_ini_boolean_displayercb.
It seems like zendini_boolean_displayercb is defined in phpsrc/Zend/zendini.c as ZENDINI_DISP(zend_ini_boolean_displayercb). I cannot compile zend as a module, since it's a core thingie.

Compile module for Oracle VM Server

I need to install the the RDAC multipath driver.
To do this I need to compile the driver module. I have installed kernel-ovs-devel-2.6.18-8.1.6.0.18.el5.i686.rpm but when now I need the gcc compiler --- and propably other stuff as well.
How can I install the gcc compiler on the ovs system ? Or how can I compile the rdac module for the Oracle VM server ?
I have read somewhere that the Oracle VM server is based on EL5 --- but how can I use this information to compile the driver ?

I don't like suggesting thing "a" when people like to get an answer for "b" - however, lets go :)
OracleVM comes with device mapper multipathing. This is a general multipath driver. You can use this as an alternative to RDAC.
Advantages: Runs on most stoarges and you don't need tom compile modules.
Setup is also very easy. Just install the device-mapper-multipath package from the OracleVM CD. run "chkconfig multipathd on". Comment out the "blacklist" section in /etc/multipath.conf. Reboot. And then you should see devices in /dev/mapper.
Just use those devices instead of /dev/sdX and you have multipathing. You can verify this by cable pulling. Also execute "multipath -l" so see what's happening.
Regards,
Robert
p.s. For GCC you probably need gcc, glibc-devel, libgcc, libgomp and maybe some more, but just try to install gcc - it tells you what packages are missing. Then just install those from the Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 CD.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I figured it out. I discovered that the developer tools weren't installed by default on the Darwin OS. I downloaded them from the Apple site, installed the dmg file and then installed the required Perl modules and then it worked beautifully.
The problem was that the modules couldn't make properly when being installed.

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)

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.

Netbeans module for JAWS doesn't know security section in JNLP file

Hello guys,
i'm making a program that is launched by Java Web Start.
I'm using the Netbeans IDE.
And I'm using the Java Web Start module for Netbeans (0.8.2.4.2.4), which provides me some handy menu shortcuts for starting Tomcat etcetra. The module also provides a GUI form for making the JNLP file, and if you make changes by hand, these changes are reflected in that form.
Now, when I add this to the JNLP:<security>
<all-permissions/>
</security>the module warns: "Could not parse the document" and it regenerates the JNLP file from the data in the form. So the "security" section disappears. In the form, there is no place to let the module include the "security" section.
Anyone encountered the same problem? Some workarounds?
Anyone having success using the Netbeans module for Java Web Start and a "security" section?
Of course I can build and then change the JNLP afterwards but that's not handy.

Andrew thank you for your time...
I think that page only shows a design that is not yet implemented, at least not in Netbeans 5.5 which currently is the latest release.
Currently the JAWS options are not in the "Project Properties" dialog. They're in some visual JNLP editor, and there is a menu for enabling, running, debugging and deploying the project with JAWS.
It seems like the only thing to do is wait for Netbeans having better JAWS support. In the meantime, work around the shortcomings of the module or don't use the module.
