Solved Virtual Box complaining about host I/O cache.

Here is the error

How do I fix this? It just started doing it a few days ago.

virtualbox wrote:
As a result, starting with version 3.2, VirtualBox allows you to optionally disable host I/O caching of disk image files. In that case, VirtualBox uses its own small cache to buffer writes, but there is no read caching since this is already performed by the guest OS. In addition, VirtualBox fully supports asynchronous I/O for its virtual SATA, SCSI and SAS controllers through multiple I/O threads.
Since asynchronous I/O is not supported by IDE controllers, for performance reasons, you may want to leave host caching enabled for your VM's virtual IDE controllers.

Hi,
Before discussing the network configuration of Oracle Linux 7 (By the way; it seams correct), lets talk about the VirtualBox network configuration, So the Network adapter of your VM can be attached to {NAT, Bridged Adapter, Internal Network, Host-only Adapter, ...}, what is the Adapter attached to your NIC?
Make sure the Network Adapter is the same as the your other VM (OL 5.8).
Best regards

[SOLVED] Virtual Box Install Question

I have been working through the Arch Linux wiki regarding installing virtualbox.
I do not believe I have a custon kernel, as I would not know how to customize it, but here is my kernel info:

Following the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox) I installed virtualbox and virtualbox-host-modules.
When I go to launch virtual box I get:

the kernel module virtualbox-host-modules or if you don't use our stock kernel
compile the modules withsudo dkms autoinstallYou will not be able to start VMs
until this problem is fixed.
After googling I have read that many people get this warning after a kernel update but in
my cause this is a fresh install.
I even followed the steps for a custom kernel and reveived the follow:
input:
dkms install vboxhost/$(pacman -Q virtualbox|awk {'print $2'}|sed 's/\-.\+//') -k $(uname -rm|sed 's/\ /\//')
response:

Pretty much at a loss and any help would be appreciated.

what to do
Last edited by sant527 (2009-07-10 06:33:36)

For reference..
pacman -Ql packageName shows what files a package contains.
You might add | grep bin or something of the sort after it to find the binaries quickly (sometimes.. some files contain 'bin' in the title or a folder name, obviously)
that question has been asked many times before. please learn to use Pacman, the Forum (and corresponding Search functions), and the Wiki before asking questions, and edit your first post to append [SOLVED] to the title when you find an appropriate answer to your questions.. it will save those of us looking to help time and frustration if you do all of that. thanks.

howto use shared folders in Linux guests - http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15868
After installing the Guest Additions, you can use the Shared Folders Functionality. To access them, you have to define at least one in the VM settings. Open the VM Settings and go to Shared Folders. You can define them there. Click on the Add button and browse for a folder you want to share. Make sure that the name of the share doesn't contain any illegal characters like white spaces. Keep the name as simple as possible. In this howto, I will use the name share.
Now that you have defined a SF, it's time to mount it. Boot the Guest and open a terminal. Create a folder where you will mount it on. E.g. in your home folder. I will use ~/host for the mount point.
Now mount it with the following command:
Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
sudo mount -t vboxsf share ~/host
Note that with this, the default mount options are used and all files are owned by root. This can be changed by adding some mount options. Options are passed on with the -o parameter. You can use multiple options with one parameter, seperate the values with a comma. See the man page of mount for more info on which options you can use. The User Manual also notes the options compatible with the Shared Folders. To mount the SF so that you are the owner of the files, use this command:
Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 share ~/host
If you want to have it mount automatically upon each boot, put the mount command in /etc/rc.local (Debian based distro's), or whatever script is run at the end of the boot process. The Shared Folders service should mount them automatically, but that doesn't always happen.
Using /etc/fstab has little effect, because that file is processed before the SF module is loaded and will fail to mount the share. Sometimes, the share does get mounted because the GA check for it when they are loaded upon boot, but it's very flaky, meaning it doesn't work most of the time. You're better of with the first option.

[solved] cpanp wrongly complains about missing ExtUtils::MakeMaker

(This appears to be the most suited subforum for the following matter. Please excuse and correct me if I am wrong.)
As there is no AUR package for the CPAN module Image::Magick, which I need, I am trying to install it with cpanplus and cpanplus-dist-arch (and yes, I ran setupdistarch). Unsuccessfully, though:
$ sudo cpanp i Image::Magick
Installing Image::Magick (6.72)
Running [/usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/core_perl/cpanp-run-perl /root/.cpanplus/5.14.2/build/PerlMagick-6.72/Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site]...
Writing Makefile for Image::Magick
Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json
[MSG] Module 'Image::Magick' depends on 'ExtUtils::MakeMaker', may need to build a 'CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch' package for it as well
[ERROR] Use of uninitialized value $pkgver in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm line 1591.
So cpanp complains about ExtUtils::MakeMaker not being installed, which is wrong:
$ pacman -Qs makemaker
local/perl 5.14.2-2 (base)
A highly capable, feature-rich programming language
local/perl-extutils-makemaker 6.59-1
Create a module Makefile
Re-installing ExtUtils-MakeMaker with cpanp does not help. Any ideas what could be wrong and how to fix it? (Also I am open to suggestions for other means of installing CPAN modules.)
EDIT:
Just retried with latest git version of cpanplus-dist-arch. No change.
Last edited by Franek (2011-10-23 21:16:06)

Long story short is that Image::Magick is bundled with ImageMagick! Install the imagemagick package and you should be just fine. The PerlMagick distribution which contains the Image::Magick module on CPAN is simply a copy of what comes with ImageMagick.
The warning about ExtUtils::MakeMaker is just something that cpanp does for every dependency of a module that you build. It is very annoying and other than convincing the CPANPLUS maintainer to remove it, there is nothing I can do about it. But it is a warning and not an error. I've just gotten used to it I suppose.
The error about an uninitialized value which stops things for you is a bug. I'll try to figure out why it happens and fix it. Thanks for reporting it. I am having a tough time reproducing it, though. Which version of pacman are you using?

[solved] Virtual Box

I have windows 7 installed in a virtual box. It worked perfectly. Then I upgraded my system to the lastest linux kernel. Now Virtual Box says that vboxdrv is not loaded so I can't boot windows.
When I did this:
[meskarune@Lychee ~]$ modprobe vboxdrv
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/framebuffer_blacklist.pacsave, it will be ignored in a future release.
FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.
I tried to see if I could update virtual box...but yaourt is not finding it. There is another topic on that here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=74843
should I try to update it manually and see if that helps? Is there something I need to do with the new kernel?
Last edited by Meskarune (2009-06-26 16:11:09)

heh. ok now I feel dumb. Upgraded the package and saw the note:
"run vbox_build_module as root every time the kernel is upgraded"
now it works.

[SOLVED] Virtual Box PUEL causes reboot, seems to be a kernel issue

Edit: this issue has been resolved with VirtualBox version 3.2.12
About 1 - 2 minutes after launching a Windows VM vbox crashes and causes a hard reboot. I've recompiled the modules and completely reinstalled the package from AUR with no joy. Below are the package versions and segments of log files that are relatively pertinent to the issue.
virtualbox_bin 3.2.10-2

I am having a similar issue, I haven't used vbox for a few days, until just now, several upgrades have taken place.
Namely the kernel upgrade and udev come to mind, however after I rebuilt the kernel modules and attempted to use vbox puel it seems to have stopped all events and thrown the laptop on a "loop" type thing. That's the best I can describe it coming from a programming point of view, where it blocks all events until vbox finishes or something it is doing finishes but it never finishes causing me to hard reboot because no key events or mouse events get through(just freezes). Normally in a program I'd just control-c it, for my own that is, and then hunt down the loop, although this loop seems to be at a much deeper level.
Although my issue doesn't happen in any given timeframe, just at a specific point, when it gets to the Windows Logo during the boot after it gets through grub and all of that(I have a dual boot vbox setup).
I was going to post my own bug report here, although since I'm new at this, I'll just share my thoughts in your thread(Hope I'm not breaking any rules or disturbing anyone by posting in your thread, although I didn't see any rules in this forum)
I'm using the same virtualbox_bin version.
Most of the packages are the same version as your except kernel26-headers 2.6.36.1-3 & kernel26 2.6.361-3
Pulled the versions from pacman -Qi <package>
Cpu info(underclocked using cpufrequtils ondemand) pulled from lscpu
Architecture: x86_64

Hi there
To be able to use Arch on a Virtual Machine you'll have to remove the VM's Guest Additions and install the Guest Additions from the Arch's repository instead.
# pacman -S virtualbox-archlinux-additions virtualbox-archlinux-modules
Then add the proper modules to your MODULE array in /etc/rc.conf
MODULES=(vboxvideo vboxsf vboxguest)
Best of Luck. Enjoy your virtualized Arch

[Solved] Virtual Box and wicd issue ?

Hey guys,
I have been using arch for like about a year now. I have slowing converting my family members across by install on their machines. But I have experience a new problem the other day. My brother has two computers a laptop that I have put arch & kdemod 4 in January. His also has a desktop with a windows which has just craped itself, so I said time to arch it !.
He needs xp for some programs (that don't like wine) so i have install virtualbox on his laptop no problems. But after successfully installing arch & kdemod 4 on the desktop I have tried 3 times to install virtualbox. The Problem I have is after installing the binaries as per wiki wicd stops working completly.
wicd cannot get ip address, when I trying connect via wireless error message is "bad password"
So something is going wrong with the bridging.

Mac Tzu: No, you don't need to bridge networks in rc.conf/conf.d anymore. You just need to chose the setting in VirtualBox.

[SOLVED] Virtual Box Kernel Bug?

I'm using virtualbox_bin 3.2.8-5 from the AUR & kernel26 2.6.35.6-1.
I boot the machine clean. It starts the bare essentials. I open a terminal, /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup && modprobe vboxdrv. It is not vboxdrv that is the issue, but I'll recompile it anyway to make sure.
I start VirtualBox and it either:
A) Locks up the entire system
B) Gives me some error that says Component: ProgressProxy, Interface: IProgress
C) Force reboots my PC
Only other things in in the /var/log/errors.log besides this:
Sep 29 15:54:51 localhost kernel: BUG: scheduling while atomic: VBoxXPCOMIPCD/5464/0x00000003
Sep 29 15:54:52 localhost kernel: BUG: scheduling while atomic: VirtualBox/5541/0x00000002

Sep 29 15:55:21 localhost kernel: BUG: scheduling while atomic: X/4067/0x00000002
is "Assuming drive cache: write through" warnings.
Not sure if this should be in the kernel section or not.

Thanks for the very quick response.
I didn't realize I wasn't running the latest. Internet's been going in and out frequently. Once I've confirmed this is it (after yaourt finished upgrading everything), I'll change the title to solved.

(SOLVED)Virtual Box segfaulting

I don't know why, but after the new kernel/virtualbox update my VB seems to be segfaulting after I click start on the VM.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it didn't fix anything. I looked through the logs and couldn't find anything about VB. Any ideas?

Thanks, that seems to have been the problem. Do you need to recompile modules after every update? I thought I did but I must not have.

[SOLVED] Virtual Box Installation - vboxdrv setup

Hello, second day on Arch here and learning as much as I can but can't seem to get VirtualBox up and running.
I am following the guide found here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox
So far I have run
pacman -S virtualbox-ose
gpasswd -a USERNAME vboxusers #Putting my username in of course
/etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup
That last line there is where I run into problems. I get the error message
[USERNAME@HOST ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup
:: Unloading VirtualBox kernel modules [DONE]
:: Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules [BUSY]
Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong
Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong
Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong
[DONE]
:: Reloading VirtualBox kernel modules [DONE]
When I go into the file specified it reads:
/usr/lib/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv/build_in_tmp: line 55: make: command not found
cp: cannot stat `/tmp/vboxdrv-Module.symvers': No such file or directory
/usr/lib/virtualbox/src/vboxnetflt/build_in_tmp: line 55: make: command not found
cp: cannot stat `/tmp/vboxdrv-Module.symvers': No such file or directory
/usr/lib/virtualbox/src/vboxnetadp/build_in_tmp: line 55: make: command not found
Any suggestions on where to go from here? I have tried continuing with the other commands listed in the wiki but they do not work without this step. I have also restarted to make sure the gpasswd had finished and verified that my username was part of the vboxusers group.
Thank in advance!

Thanks! I have it working now. How did you know from the errors that that was the problem?

How to install SUNWi1cs in Solaris 10 under Virtual Box

Hallo!I am a total newbie in Solaris.
I have installed Solaris 10 (guest OS)via Virtual Box in XP (host OS).I would like to install Oracle 10g in Solaris 10 but prerequisite s/w like SUNWi1cs and SUNWi15cs aren’t installed.
I have been trying to install this through commands such as
pkgadd –d /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_10/Product SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs
but this directory does not exist.
How would I access this directory ?Will this mean mounting the CD-ROM with a Solaris 10 DVD-R disc or can I access the Solaris 10 virtual box files in the XP path shown below
C:\Documents and Settings\JOEY\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning\SOLARIS_10\PRODUCT
The Oracle 10g for Solaris zipped file is in the XP OS.How do I transfer this file (and any other files in XP)into Solaris 10 to be able to install Oracle 10g in Solaris under Virtualbox?
Thanks.

Hi,
If u have installed Solaris operating system on some VMWare by iso file then it will treat iso file as CD. So that following steps will resolve ur issue.
1. Mount that iso file into /mnt file system.
For example ur iso mounted file system like this:-
/mnt/cdrom/Solaris_10/Product
2. Then run this command:-
pkgadd -d /mnt/Solaris_10/Product SUNWi1cs SUNWi512
It will ask would to like to add these then type Y
3. Successful installed package message will displayed.
It is the right way to add package from source
Regards,
Rizi
