[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
kernel26 2.6.36-3
depends:
'libidl2' 0.8.14-1
'libxcursor' 1.1.11-1
'libxinerama' 1.1.1-1
'libxslt' 1.1.26-2
'curl' 7.21.2-2
'gcc' 4.5.1-1
'make' 3.82-2
'kernel26-headers' 2.6.36-3
'python2' 2.7-3
Seems very similar to this issue: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=105631

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>

[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:

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/\ /\//')

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

[SOLVED] virtual box (vboxdrv: not loaded)

I have installed virtualbox
pacman -S virtualbox_bin
and installed virtualbox_bin 3.0.0-2
/etc/rc.d/vboxdrv not found
When I run virtual box, it says vboxdrv is not loaded
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.

[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 share folder unable to mount

I am having vista and using virtual box installed arch linux as the guest.
I have installed the base system from archlinus iso
I created a shared folder called prem
When I tried to mount share folder through I get the following
mount -t vboxsf prem /mnt/vbox
mount: unknown filesystem type 'vboxsf'
I found that I have to install guest additions
I clicked on the devices - install guest additions
I didnt found any file at /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
How to install VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run where is the file located.
Or in arch linus should I install something to make share folder work
can any one help

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] 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:

Not sure if this should be in the kernel section or not.

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.

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.

(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.

Hi.
I just installed new archlinux in virutalbox to check new installtion procedure...
I have installed everything, installed:

load modules for vbox and when trying to startx org gdm getting error that no screen found... what I'm doing wrong ? what did I forgot about ?
Last edited by siamer (2012-08-01 20:49:43)

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 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.

So far I have run
pacman -S virtualbox-ose
gpasswd -a USERNAME vboxusers #Putting my username in of course

That last line there is where I run into problems. I get the error message

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.

[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.

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.
See:

(solved?) Virtual Box, kernel26-bfs, 1000hz?

I switched to the bfs patched kernel, but I get an error when the kernel tries to load the virtualbox module. I assume this is because the default kernel is using a hz rate higher than 1000. I read 1000 is needed, or else you can break some things like virtual box. My question is how can I set the rate to 1000? I searched the grub page and looked around the bfs documentation and it seems everyone agrees to set the kernel hs to 1000 but how to do it doesn't seem to be discussed.
Sorry for the newbie question!
edit:
I may have solved it. I think I needed to recompile the kernel module and hopefully it will work on my next reboot automatically. I won't know until I reboot, and I can't until tomorrow. I may be back!

Regarding HZ, you set it in the kernel config when building the package (see the PKGBUILD). Another option is to use ck's patches which change the default from 250 to 1000.
And ... umm ... what is your rate anyways? The default is definitely not more than 1000.
I'm afraid I can't help you with VirtualBox as I know nothing about that.

Cannot get my iphone5 to synch with my new computer. i am running itunes through a virtual box, Every time I try a box appeares telling me to enter security code- ? anyone know how to solve this ?

Cant get my iphone 5 to sync with my computer (new operating system). Am running XP through a virtual box. When I try to sync the phone it keeps asking for auto lock code, there is no box to type it into and I can find nothing on the phone itself to solve the problem.
This makes it impossibble to sync with my itunes account. Anyone out there able to help ?

Have you tried contactint the app's developer?

[SOLVED] Guest Arch in Virtual Box Internet Problems

I have installed Arch a few times already in virtual machines on Virtual Box and each time it is unable to configure the internet connection properly. Having gone through the beginner wiki-pages on starting with Arch, I have tried "ping -c 3 www.google.com" and get "ping: unknown host www.google.com". However, IP addresses usually work with 0% packet loss.
I then followed the "hwdetect" instruction and that yielded "-bash: hwdetect: command not found". The command "modprobe pcnet32" does not yield an error and returns nothing.
I have also tried other methods

Hi,
Pretty much the same here
That is strange but adding "nameserver 192.168.0.1" to /etc/resolv.conf enables me to access the internet. 192.168.0.1 is of course the IP of the host computer's vitual card but what is strange is: I need to use dhcpcd from guest to be given an IP that isn't even in the same range as 192.168.0.1 (for instance 10.0.2.15)!!
So to basically, host PC has that virtual ethernet card with static IP 192.168.0.1 and internet connection shared (don't know if this is compulsory though) and guest uses dhcp, is given 10.0.2.15 (don't ask me where it gets it from because I disabled it on VirtualBox). Then I just have to add "nameserver 192.168.0.1" to resolv.conf and I'm good... till dhcpcd rewrites the resolv.conf. How could we set dhcp to use a particular DNS?
As you can see, I am not a DNS expert. Using static IPs for both would be great but it doesn't work
Does it help?
The 10.x.x.x.x address range is assigned because you are most probably using NAT networking on the Virtual Box configuration.
Try with 'Bridged'.
If all goes well you shouldn't need to fiddle with /etc/resolv.conf.
Still, if you still need to change /etc/resolv.conf, put your changes in a file called /etc/resolv.conf.head which will survive
the changes that sometimes DHCP does on /etc/resolv.conf.
