Last edited by heldiho53 (2015-03-06 14:57:58)

You can install an older version of virtualbox-guest-utils.
You can wait for catalyst to support xorg-server 1.17 and install virtualbox-guest-utils only then.
You can change graphics drivers to the FLOSS ones and install xorg-server 1.17 and virtualbox-guest-utils.

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

Installing virtualbox-guest-modules = depmod error

I'm setting up a new system, and I tried following the instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … nux_guests.
Using "sudo pacman -S virtualbox-guest-utils" gives me an error message:
depmod: ERROR: could not open directory /lib/modules/3.9.4-1-ARCH: No such file or directory
depmod: FATAL: could not search modules: No such file or directory"
I see I do have a 3.9.5-1-ARCH directory, though.
I assume something somewhere needs to be updated. Is there anything I can do until that happens?

I think I have a similar problem
Im using Arch as the host and trying to use other OSs as guests in virtualbox.
But when I try to use virtualbox and push start (on XP) it say:
"The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded
or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please
reinstall the kernel module by executing
'pacman -S virtualbox-host-modules'
as root. If you don't use our stock kernel, install
virtualbox-host-source and execute dkms autoinstall."
when I execute: # pacman -S virtualbox-host-modules it say:
(1/1) reinstalling virtualbox-host-modules
depmod: ERROR: could not open directory /lib/modules/3.9.4-1-ARCH: No such file or directory
depmod: FATAL: could not search modules: No such file or directory
In order to use the new version, reload all virtualbox modules manually.
I tryied to execute "depmod 3.9.5-1-ARCH" but in my case it didnt help,
I also running on 3.9.5-1-ARCH.
So basicly there is nothing to do now, but waiting for bug to be fixed?

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] Can not install Arch on a VirtualBox

Dear all,
I would like to get familiar with Arch and have tried to install in on a Virtual Machine created with VirtualBox.
Unfortunately I can't even start the installation,
whenever I select Install Arch_64bit I just see a white cursor and nothing else happens.
I have found three logs file in my Virtual Machine folders, you can find them here:

Can you please help me understanding what is wrong and how to fix it and install VirtualBox?
Thanks a lot in advance for the help,

I'll try that and let you know how it goes!
If the md5 checksout, you probably have a bad setting in your vm within virtualbox. Check it or delete and re-create.

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

Can't install any guest!

Hi guys,
I hope one of you can help me out. I'm trying to install a guest for a day or two now, without success...
My OVS is a Pentium IV, 2Ghz, 1Gb RAM and 30Gb of hard disk space... Yeah! :-) I know, it's pathetic, but it's a pc at the office here and I'm not able to get my hands on a better pc for my OVS.
If I understand it correctly, I'm not able to install HVM's, only PVM's, because my processor doesn't support hardware virtualization, right? So, the only option I got is installing Oracle Enterprise Linux, because this is the only OS that is supported at the moment for PVM's, right?
Now, I tried a lot, with NFS, HTTP and via the OVM with ISO's, nothing wants to work... Always different errors. If somebody could talk me through it and can give me one of the easiest ways to install a virtual machine, I could tell you the errors I get and we start from there.
Thanks!

For example, this is one of the methods I used:
1. I downloaded the ISO's of OEL5U1 (Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Update 1)
Method 1 : via OVM
2. I installed an Apache webserver
3. mkdir -p /var/www/html/OEL5U1
4. mount -o ro,loop oel5u1-disc1.iso /var/www/html/OEL5U1/
5. service httpd restart
6. create virtual machine --> from installation media --> paravirtualized --> resource = http://IP.of.OVM/OEL5U1/ --> confirm
7. done, no virtual machines with status "creating", nothing
Why won't that work?
Method 2 : via virt-install command on the OVS
6. mkdir /OVS/running_pool/OEL5
7. virt-install
Name of VM = vm1
RAM = 256
path = /OVS/running_pool/OEL5/system.img
disk capacity = 8Gb
graphics support = yes
install location = http://IP.of.OVM/OEL5U1/
Starting install...
libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed:
Please connect to localhost:5900, domain installation still in progress, reconnect to the console to complete the installation process.
Ok, that's new... What to do now?! :-)

h3. I FIGURED OUT THE ANSWER!
when i realized what the problem was, i slapped my forehead so hard that my brain felt a sharp pain, my adrenaline spiralled, and i was a hair-breadth away from a homicidal frenzy.
the answer will cause you gurus to laugh (i can just picture you chuckling!), but to a noob, this was a major obstacle and emotional experience: i was depressed for three days because i didn't know whom to ask these most rudimentary of questions.
the answer is this: Oracle's user's manual dictates, authoritatively,
pkgadd -d VirtualBox-4.1.8-SunOS.pkg
being a noob, besotted by definition, i don't question, but rather i do as i'm told, so i entered verbatim pkgadd -d VirtualBox-4.1.8-SunOS.pkg . solaris rejected it and produced an error report. in the next 36 hours, every permutation of every reasonable, possible modification was likewise unceremoniously rejected.
on the third day, the gods took pity on me: They revealed that the name of the extracted file is not VirtualBox-4.1.8-SunOS.pkg , but rather +it is VirtualBox-4.1.8-SunOS -r75467 .pkg+ -- the "-r75467" was the gremlin!!
it installed.

[SOLVED] Can't install; dual-boot sharing partitions?

Hi, I'm currently dual-booting Linux Mint 14 and Windows 7 on my laptop, and decided to replace Mint with Arch. Somehow, though, I don't think I ever divided my HDD into seperate partitions for Linux and Windows. Using gparted (or fdisk), /dev/sda (my HDD) has essentially got a Dell utility partition (100MiB, sda1), a recovery partition (15GiB, sda2), a 1 MiB unallocated space, and a 284 GiB section labeled "OS" (sda3). I can't touch the partition on Linux because it's always in use.
I can't get through with the installation because of this, and can't find an answer no matter how often or in-depth I RTFM. If someone could point me in the right direction, that'd be great.
Thanks.

I would recommend downloading the gparted cd here, and setting up your partitioning scheme from there. I am quite suprised about your system setup though, you may want to nuke it and start again because something weird is going on.
Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what's happening. I'll look into using gparted as a LiveCD, but I'd rather not wipe everything if I can help it.
I don't know if this is the case, but Ubuntu had (has?) an option to install to an image on the windows partition (wubi), rather than a partition of it's own. It's possible that Mint adapted this for their spinoff, and would explain why you only have a Windows partition.
I recommend that you modify your partition scheme if you want to install Arch. Shrink your Windows partition as much as the Windows partitioner will allow (avoid gparted and similar tools for this purpose, the Windows in-built partitioner should be adequate), then create an extended partition to house your Arch partition, swap partition, data partition, or whatever partitions you want.
Yeah, I installed Mint from a mounted image in Daemon Tools, so that could explain it. I'll look into shrinking my Windows partition and seeing if I can somehow remove Mint from my Windows partition. I still have grub and all, if that makes any difference.
there is a mint4win, do you see something like this on boot? http://i.imgur.com/sPOMx.png
Yep! I may have installed mint4win. Let me look into that.

I also have the latest guest additions installed. I have been trying to get access to my iPod, so I can transfer some songs without having to boot into my Windows (the dual boot one). gtkpod does not recognize my iPod for some reason - but that's for another thread.
In any case, I found that not only the iPod, but I cannot access any usb flash drives either. I tried the filters, but that didn't work. So here's what I have tried so far :
I tried this post and this thread : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50239 but neither option work for me.
This thread on virtualbox forums is the same problem I have but alas they don't have any solution.
And finally this doesnt help either
They are all basically minor variations of the same solution.
Here are my details:

So as you can see the usb drive is on bus 01, device 03, and ls of that device shows that it belongs to vboxusers group and my user belongs to that group
[inxs ~ ]$ grep vboxusers /etc/group
vboxusers:x:108:inxs
[inxs ~ ]$
So the devgid is 108, but none of the lines suggested in the linked threads in fstab work for me
I do not have a group called usb, but I have one called usbmux -- Is that the devgid that I have to use?My user does not belong to that group.
[inxs ~ ]$ grep usb /etc/group

Yes they do show up in the VB USB device menu and they are all enabled. When I select them to allow the guest to access them, Windows 7 tried to install the driver, but then invariably fails no matter how many times I try.

Now, whenever I boot this.. it says "Waiting 30 seconds for device /disk-by/uid.. lots of dots here.
Ideas? I'd like to avoid making a new partition as suggested in the wiki, as it requires me to load a live cd of sorts anyway, so I can shrink one of my partitions.
Thanks :-)!

[SOLVED] Can't install linuxwacom from AUR with latest X Server

I am unable to reinstall linuxwacom, which I had reinstalled perfectly the day before the big update from testing yesterday, which, among many other things, updated X Server to 1.7.0.901-1.
Here is the error output (am installing linuxwacom 0.8.4-6 from the AUR). I'm including everything that apears (to me) to be associated with the error, but if there should be more or less, let me know:

Error: unable to update linuxwacom
Because of this, I can no longer use my pen or touchscreen. My tablet is a Lenovo X61t.
This is probably due to the testing repo as the package's maintainer (gwash) was unable to reproduce this with the latest updates from core and extra installed.
[edit] Perhaps this is because this package is designed to be compatible with version 1.6 of X Server, and I'm using 1.7 (the latest in testing). Are any other tablet users in testing experiencing this problem? [/edit]
[edit] And as I thought, downgrading xorg-server to 1.6 fixed this (this also required downgrading evdev and the intel driver). So it's just linuxwacom's incompatibility with verison 1.7, which will hopefully be fixed soon. Marking the subject line as SOLVED, though the real solution is an update to linuxwacom. [/edit]
