[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

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.

Virtual Box vboxdrv error loading from rc.conf

As the guide says about VirtualBox PUEL installation:
made the package, added to group, added vboxdrv to rc.conf, run /sbin/vbox_build_module
Now rc.conf wont load in start the vbodrv says no such module in /etc/rc.d/
And VirtualBox says:
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:

When trying to start a Virtual Machine.
If I give modprobe vboxdrv the driver is loaded and everything is running smouthly.
Why happens that? I see no module in /etc/rc.d with name vboxdrv. How can modprobe works? It is looking in other folders 4 vboxdrv?

Thats what I did and it worked. But I want the driver to be loaded automaticaly in system start.
The question is why its no working by putting in rc.conf the vboxdrv?
My opinion: Its not loaded automatically cause it cant find it in /etc/rc.d which is the folder where the module section in rc.conf looks in. Where it is so I can copy or do symlink to /etc/rc.d search didnt helped.
Thanks anyway

[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:
Name : linux

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.

[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
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>
Cpu info(underclocked using cpufrequtils ondemand) pulled from lscpu

I already had this trouble before and this was the fix
# modprobe vboxdrv
But it doesn't work anymore
Any ideas?
Edit: This just get fixed by itself when restaring my PC. Sorry

[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] Many modules are not loaded in the Arch USB key installation.

Hello!
I installed Arch Linux on my USB key. I did it few months ago and it worked, I had portable arch.
Yesterday I decided to make a fresh installation. Unfortunately after booting it from my USB key
most of the modules were not loaded. Because of that I couldn't start the X server and connect to
the internet (ethernet card was not detected).
Even after loading the module which corresponds to my ethernet card manually (modprobe e1000e) it was not
displayed in the lsmod list.
I though "maybe I screwed something up during the installation?". To find out I used GParted to copy
my OS partition (perfectly working Arch Linux installed on the hard drive) to the USB key. Of course I changed the UUID of the USB partition.
After booting it I was suprised because the situation did not change - modules that are loaded on my main system for some
reason were not loaded on it's exact copy placed on the USB key.
I have no idea why my portable OS is acting like this.
Commands below were executed on another PC so don't look for the e1000e module.

Help: White Box "movie not loaded" in banner ad using AC_RunActiveContent.js

I am having trouble with a banner ad displaying all white when I try to insert the code into my website.
I get a white box and when you right click it says "movie not loaded"
I am using the AC_RunActiveContent.js file
Here is the HTML code.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Both of the files (js and swf) appear to exist where your code has them. Does the html page live in the same folder as the swf?

Windows 10 Virtual Box - Hyperthreading Not Supported on PC

I am trying to install Windows 10 in Virtual Box on my HP Pavilion DV6 running Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I set up the Win10 virtual machine following these instructions: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/how-to-install-windows-10-developers-preview-in/e98dd450-02d2-4519-b6a3-6743bedcf777
However, I am receiving the following error: 'VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) require this feature and will fail to boot without it.' When I click continue, the VM provides the following
message: 'Your PC needs to restart. Please hold down the power button. Error Code: 0x0000000A Parameters: 0xFFD00000 0x000000FF 0x0000000A 0x8192F5E3'
After some further research, I found that I need to enable virtualization and hyperthreading. I downloaded Speccy and determined that my PC is capable of virtualization, and it was already enabled; however, hyperthreading is not supported. I have been hearing
good things about Windows 10, and I should really like to give it a test run. Is the error with Virtual Box or Windows 10 or Windows 10 running in Virtual Box? Is there anything I can do to make it work? Thanks for any help.

Any reason why you would not consider dual boot Win 7 and Win 10 TP ?
I had an Acer Aspire laptop running Win 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit. I dual booted with Win 10 TP. That's starting from build 9841 to 9926. I dual booted twice and I had no problem doing it.

[SOLVED] Intel driver is not loading.

Hello,
I just got a new laptop and finally put Arch on it. I have to use "nomodeset" to see anything (Putting the intel_agp and i915 modules in the initramfs does not work, nor does the SVIDEO option.) and I installed xorg and xf86-video-intel, and ran startx, and it failed to run.
Below are my Xorg.log.0 and lspci -k outputs.

As you can see, i915 is not loaded for the VGA controller, even though it should be. I do a modprobe i915, in case for whatever reason udev can't seem to do it, run lspci -k and nothing changes. dmesg doesn't even seem to acknowledge that I did anything.
Does the i915 driver not support this chipset? That seems highly unlikely.

My computer on my signature is newer than yours and its supported.
I guess there is a backlight issue on your computer. try removing nomodeset and append
acpi_backlight=vendor
to your kernel comand line. Tell us what u see.

[solved] Module bbswitch does not load, cannot disable nvidia

Hey!
According to the title I'm unable to load the bbswitch module on load with it's given parameters. I do it the way suggest in the Arch Wiki.
I'm using linux-ck
local/linux-ck-corex 3.5.6-1 (ck-corex)
local/linux-ck-corex-headers 3.5.6-1 (ck-corex)
local/nvidia-ck-corex 304.51-2 (ck-corex)
(I heard theat graysky said that there are no problems)
My /etc/modprobe.d/bbswitch.conf looks like
options bbswitch load_state=0 unload_state=0
dmesg|tail -10 outputs:
[ 121.351475] bbswitch: version 0.4.2

[ 135.343414] pci 0000:01:00.0: >power state changed by ACPI to D3
Any suggestions? Am I missing something? I'm thinking of adding bbswitch into modules-load.d and add the parameters as kernel parameters in grub but I'm not happy with that solution…
even if it's the "cleaner" version, imho.
Cheers!
Help is appreciated, thanks. :-)
Edit: If I load bbswitch manually, I have to restart bumblebee to turn the graphics off. I cannot disable the card via bbswitch suggested in bbswitch git repo with command: tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<OFF.
Tried via modules-load.d now and grub boot parameters. The module is loaded but the card is turned on…

Hey Lekensteyn! First of all, thanks for your answer. :-)
I disabled the nvidia module now. My /etc/modprobe.d now looks like
/etc/modprobe.d
total 20K
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Oct 9 19:32 .
drwxr-xr-x 76 root root 4.0K Oct 9 12:49 ..

nvidia_blacklist.conf:
blacklist nvidia
nouveau_blacklist.conf:
blacklist nouveau
bbswitch.conf:
options bbswitch load_state=0 unload_state=0
There is only one more problem left… the bbswitch module does not load on startup. If I # modprobe bbswitch manually the nvidia card is turned off and it also seems the bumblebeed daemon is not started… I have no idea why. It worked with that setup all the time… not much has changed… imho nothing.
Are there any logs I could post or what can I do to eventually fix this problem.
Thanks for the help in advance!
EDIT: I can start the bumblebeed.service manually. + Why are the modules from modprobe.d not loaded? My mkinitcpio.conf.
EDIT2: Found it why bbswitch module wasn't loaded… http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.a … eral/44986… testing this one right now.

[SOLVED] GDM randomly does not load

75% of the time it boots fine and GDM loads, but I've noticed for some reason, at random gdm will simply not load, it will just sit there at the tty with nothing happening. I can switch to another tty and restart the service or reboot and then it will load. Does anyone else have this problem, anyway to get it to load consistantly?

I have witnessed the same behavior. Sometime it's happening during the GDM start sequence, and sometimes it's when i try to login into a gnome-shell session.
I am using a Nvidia GPU by the way.

[solved] Bootloaders (syslinux/Grub) not loading on new installation

Hi,
I´m trying to install arch on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 (UEFI). I installed grub as described in the wiki, but grub does not start up at all when the machine is powered on. sda is partitioned (GPT) as follows:
1. 512 MB: ESP (EF00) = sda1
2. remaining space: LVM (8E00)
a.) boot (300 MB)
b.) Swap (4 GB)
c.) root (25 GB)
d.) home (remaining space)
fstab:
LABEL=root / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
LABEL=home /home ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 2
LABEL=boot /boot ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 2
/dev/sda1 /boot/efi vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,codepage=437;iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 2
/dev/mapper/lvm-spwap none swap defaults 0 0
I installed grub via
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck --debug
No errors were reported, x86_64-efi is now present in /boot/grub. /boot/efi is now populated by the folder EFI/arch_grub, which contains grubx64.efi
grub.cfg was generated within the chroot by
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
This command gives somes warnings:
WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad: No such file or directory. Falling back to internal scanning.
/run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory
done
If I try to activate lvmetad.service by systemctl I get the error:
Running in chroot, ignoring request.
Leaving the chroot (lvmetad is running), 'grub-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg' results in:
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+/memtest.bin
/usr/bin/grub-probe: warning:unknown device type dm-0
done
After rebooting I just get a blank screen, grub is not loading at all. I have absolutely no idea, what went wrong during the installation, therefore I would be glad if you gave me some input. Thanks!
EDIT: I just installed arch with the legacy BIOS enabled instead of UEFI. The problem is very similar with this configuration. Instead of a loaded Grub I only get a blinking cursor.

Yes, sdb is a gpt disk. It was partitioned with gdisk. Actually the gpt format is the only thing, which all variants tested had in common.
To sum it up: Regardless of using bios legacy or UEFI, I am not able to start a boot loader (tested syslinux, grub) when the machine is powered on. I only get a black screen.
EDIT: I have to apologize. I did a fresh install on the system with UEFI enabled, now syslinux is showing up (most likely because edited /boot/efi/EFI/syslinux/syslinux.cfg and not /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg :-) ). Nevertheless, syslinux can´t boot arch because of:
../../../../vmlinuz-linux... failed: No such file or directory
vmlinuz-linux and initramfs-linux.img are present in /boot.
My /boot/efi/EFI/syslinux/syslinux.cfg looks like:
UI menu.c32
PROMPT 0
MENU TITLE Boot Menu
TIMEOUT 50
DEFAULT arch
LABEL arch
MENU LABEL Arch Linux
LINUX ../../../../vmlinuz-linux
APPEND root=/dev/sda2 rw
INITRD ../../../../initramfs-linux.img
LABEL archfallback
MENU LABEL Arch Linux Fallback
LINUX ../../../../vmlinuz-linux
APPEND root=/dev/sda2 rw
INITRD ../../../../initramfs-linux-fallback.img
I have to say that I created a separted boot partition:
sda1 (ESP) -> mounted to /boot/efi
sda2 -> mounted to /boot
sda3 (LVM) -> mounted to /
