Cant Find to install VirtualBox-Ose-Additions

Hi All
I have installed virtualbox-ose and virtualbox-ose-additions from packages and configured virtualbox etc ... and it runs just fine. But when i go to configure guest additions, i cant find where its been installed ...
I thought it was supposed to be here /usr/share/virtualbox/additions/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso But its not ...
Any suggestions please ?
Many Thanks

it doesn't need to be there. just try to load the iso from vbox and you'll see that is working
pacman -Ql virtualbox-additions

Failed to install VirtualBox Guest Addition on Oracle Linux 6.1

I can successfully install Oracle Linux 6.1 on VirtualBox 4.1. But failed to install VirtualBox Guest Additions with the following message: Building the main Guest Additions module [FAILED]. All other modules installed ok.

Actually you don't have do install the developer version. According to the documentation http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html you will need to install gcc and kernel-devel packages. In case Oracle Enterprise Linux does not find the required packages, you either have to install them from a different source (e.g. DVD) or use Oracle's public Yum server located at http://public-yum.oracle.com.

[Solved]virtualbox-ose-additions needs virtualbox-ose-additions

Hello everybody. I noticed that mayor updates were released some time ago but I couldn't update because of my exams. Anyway, now I'm trying to update (pacman -Syu) and I recieve the following error:
:: virtualbox-ose-additions-modules: needs kernel26<2.6.28
So, that package is out of date, I don't mind if I have to remove it and install virtualbox after updating again, so I tried to remove it and what I get is this;
:: virtualbox-ose-additions: needs virtualbox-ose-additions-modules
Even if I do a ~$ pacman -R -f virtualbox-ose-additions-modules get the same error.
How can I remove it and update?
Thanks

I can't load the modules of OSE additions:

How can i install virtualbox-guest-additions?

pacman -S virtualbox-guest-additions
edit rc.conf
MODULES=(vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo)
under gnome
glxgears 60.975fps
but under centos 5.6 gnome 559.203fps
how would i do to so fast?

This is the only entry I have in MODULES=(vboxdrv)
I use Vbox from AUR as they work for me.
I use win7/winxp fedora debian etc as guests with full access to usb/ shared drives etc.and full screen where possible as some distros do not do full screen in vbox without a lot of fiddling
are you in the correct groups with out the correct permissions they do not work usbmux:x:140:username

Errors installing virtualbox guest additions from AUR

After failing to get ose guest additions working in an Arch guest on Ubuntu host by (a) mounting the ISO and (b) installing from pacman, I thought that it would be an idea to use builds from AUR as these would likely to be more customised for Arch guests.
Installing ose-guest-additions-modules (the dependency for ose-guest-additions) worked flawlessly, but whenever I try and makepkg -s for ose-guest-additions I get the following error:
install: cannot stat 'vboxadd-timesync' : no such file or directory
install: cannot stat 'VBoxClient' : no such file or directory
install: cannot stat 'mountvboxsf' : no such file or directory
These directories do exist at /usr/share/virtualbox/additions/ so I am at a loss as to what is causing this to fail.
(It is worth pointing out that I am new to Arch -and relatively new to Linux- & while I am having a lot of fun trying to figure this stuff out, I am aware that I am probably missing something quite obvious...)

Installing virtualbox guest additions - No X-11

OK, so I took the plunge (again) and [re]started with Arch.
I have it right now as a virtualbox guest, but the screen is the size of a key hole.
I followed the steps on the wiki here and I encountered a curve ball when it came to setting the values in ~/.xinitrc.
The file is now there. I had to manually create it as I do not have (or want) any non-terminal applications on this VM.
However, when I run " ps ax | grep -i vbox ", the services VBoxClient --display | seamless | draganddrop are not running until I manually start VBoxClient-all. VBoxService -f is running, seemingly without any issues.
How can I fix this so that /usr/bin/VBoxClient-all (the same line now in the .xinitrc) would run at boot?
TIA

Cant find virtualbox vboxdrv (install vbox modules on custom kernel)

hi guys!
i recently installed virtualbox-ose using pacman -Sy virtualbox. it installed fine and i was able to create a vm. when i start my vm i get this error:
VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root.
VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).
Result Code:
0x80004005
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {d5a1cbda-f5d7-4824-9afe-d640c94c7dcf}
i could not find /etc/init.d/vboxdrv. when i do for a search for vboxdrv, it shows me a vobxdrv.ko and its located on my original arch kernel 2.6.25-ARCH. im using a custom kernel. how do i tell virtualbox to build the modules in my custom kernel and not on the arch kernel. i remember i had the same problem with ndiswrapper before that ndis wrapper built the ndiswrapper module on my arch kernel instead of my custom kernel. any ideas?
thanks!

Pacman not finding virtualbox-ose?

I am fairly new to Linux and VERY new to Arch but so far, I haven't had any problems that I couldn't solve. I am especially enjoying using pacman. I'm really surprised at how powerful & easy to use it is. However, I am having a problem trying to install virtualbox-ose from the repositories. I looked it up and it says it's available from the community repo (which I do have enabled) and it says it was just updated in Oct. but when I 'pacman -Ss virtualbox-ose' it's not found in the db. I have also done -Sy and -Syu to make sure everything is synced. All I can find so far is virtualbox-modules.
I'm really sorry if this is a no-brainer and I'm asking a stupid question. I love virtualbox, tho, and can't wait to try out the newest eLive cd so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. :-)
Many thks,
5x5

No, I haven't. I assumed (maybe incorrectly) that mirrors were identical in their contents. Is this not the case? I'll try changing that right now and see if that solves it.
Thx for the suggestion, Allan. :-)
Update:
Well, I've tried 3 other mirrors and no luck. Just not showing up. I know I can d'load the source from the virtualbox website but I'm not sure I'm ready to try to install something like that manually.
Updatex2:
Ok. Duh. I'm running 64 bit and virtualbox only runs on i686. :-( It's all there in the i686 directories although I'm not sure why virtualbox-modules is available in the x86_64 directories. That's a mystery.
Sorry for wasting forum space and people's time but thx for the help!

Cant find install file

Was in the middle of installing adobe master collection (Trial) and it froze. I restarted my machine but cant find the install file. I was using the assistant manager does this mean i need to download the whole thing again or is in in a cache memory folder? Some of the applications have installed and some are have not. What is the best way to clean this up?
The install file is not in the download folder.
Do I delete all the files and start again?
Is there a cache folder with a file i can click to continue the download?

Hi jaybuzz,
I apologize for the delay in my response, I wanted to make sure I had done all my research before responding.
In doing my research and consulting with a few colleagues I've found a few interesting things in regards to the software for your printer with Windows 8.1. This printer's software for Windows 8.1 was released in October of 2012 when Windows 8 was in it's Beta phase (meaning it hadn't been fully released yet as they were still testing it). The driver's have not been updated since then (and most likely will not be updated). Most things for Windows 8 work fine on 8.1 but as you can see in this case, it doesn't want to work and I don't think it will. Essentially this is like trying to put a 1970's car engine in a 2010 car. It might work for a bit, but the chances of getting far are slim.
At this point I would recommend upgrading your printer. If you would like to stay with HP, you can call HP Tech Support for your area and inquire about the trade in and trade up program.
I apologize that I didn't come across this information sooner, but I hope this answers why you haven't been able to get things to work right. Thank you for working with me, and I hope you're having a good week!

Is it included with OSE? I know there are some features missing in that version. I've got it, but I run PUEL.
