UEK R2 and Virtual Box Linux additions

Hello
thanks for the support from Avi Miller I was able to install the UEK R2 on OL 6.2 VM.
It all worked well but the Virtual Box 4.1.10 Linux Guest Additions stopped working properly after UEK R2 was installed and the VM rebooted (screen resolution to be exact).
So I simply re-installed VB Linux guest additions after the UEK R2 was installed, for the second time.
It seemed to work OK even though I did receive a UEK related warning message during VB Linux Guest additions installation .....
Once I rebooted after VB Guest Additions were re-installed it seems to be working again.
I am just curious if there is a recommended order procedure re installing UEK R2 inside a VB 4.1.10 VM guest ?
Should I rebuild the VM from stratch and first install UEK R2 before installing VB Linux Guest Additions and then install VB Linux Guest Additions after UEK R2 is updated?
Does the installation order matter?
I am concerned that VB Linux Guest additions somehow corrupts parts of UEK R2 since it's not aware of UEK R2 existance?
Perhaps there wiill be a new release of the VB Linux Guest Additions for Oracle Linux 64-bit that is compatible with UEK R2 ?
many thanks!

thanks!
In this case I think I have done the right thing "by accident"! 8^)
Here is what I have done: (note the warning message re kernel headers not found.....)
[root@YURIOL62 init.d]# ./vboxadd setup
Removing existing VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
Removing existing VirtualBox non-DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules
The headers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following
module compilation fails then this could be the reason.
The missing package can be probably installed with
yum install kernel-uek-devel-2.6.39-100.5.1.el6uek.x86_64
Building the main Guest Additions module [ OK ]
Building the shared folder support module [ OK ]
Building the OpenGL support module [ OK ]
Doing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions [ OK ]
You should restart your guest to make sure the new modules are actually used
I hope this is all OK.
My next step is to install Oracle RDBMS 11.2.0.3 (i.e. Grid+ASM+RDBMS) based on the new UEK R2 and new oracle validated replacement rpm on OL 6.2....

Peoplesoft 9.2 Application and Tools 8.54 installation on Virtual Box Linux - Error

I am trying to install Peoplesoft Demo database for Tools 8.54 with Application Fin 9.2, when i run the database setup to creat the script i get a file called fin92dmoora.dms, my question is does this file contain all the tables neccesary for tools to work, since on my first install i got many errors and many tools tables were missing, i could not see any records in the application designer, and when i logged into from PIA there was a error saying, Contact your Administrator for security, looks like peoplecode was missing too from my list in the Application designer.
There were no errors when i ran the dms scripts to import table from fin92dmoora.dms.
Can someone please comment what am i doing wrong here.

It all depends of how you setup the database creation. If you installed a Financial Demo 9.2 database, everything should be installed, Peopletools and applications tables. If not, then you may have several issues.
The dms should have (at least) two import cmd, one for tools, one for appl and others for language if you selected it.
Furthermore, within PTools 8.54, you may choose which accessid, which psappsrv, which connectid you want to work with, and if you want to open it with specific password. Most often, VP1 is used for FSCM, especially for demo.
Lastly and not least, which Peopletools path version are you working on ? You may have a discrepency between your client PTools version (including psadmin) and the one from database, it could raise a lot of errors. Check the database table PSSTATUS and compare with your client (including psadmin), both should be aligned. Check also the APPSRV.LOG file, you probably can find more informations about your errors.

Uninstalling Sun Virtual Box and Windows 7 from Macbook Pro?

Hi everyone!
Can anyone tell me how to properly UN-install Sun's Virtual Box and Windows 7 Beta from my Macbook Pro so I can reinstall Windows 7 Beta thru Boot Camp?
I recently installed Sun's Virtual Box and Windows 7 Beta on my Macbook Pro. It works fine, but there are some things about Virtual Box I am not happy with. I'm told that uninstalling both Windows 7 and Virtual Box and reinstalling Windows 7 through Boot Camp will be better for what I want and Windows 7 will run much better that way.

goducks14 wrote:
Thank you - I really appreciate your response. I did delete the .dmg so I guess I will have to re-download it from Sun and then uninstall it as you suggested.
Maybe you can answer another quick question? I am hearing both YES and NO in regards to being able to install the Windows 7 Beta using Boot Camp. Any problems that you might be aware of?
If you visit our BootCamp forum you will find many users running Win7http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1244
While Win7 is not supported, for many users, that's not important.
When I installed Vista Ultimate 64-bit on this MBP, it was not supported and I installed it under Tiger and a beta of BootCamp! It still works. Experimenting is fun and a great learning experience.
Just be sure you have a viable backup - SuperDuper!, CCC or TM before installing BootCamp and Win7 and you always have a path for a recovery should anything go wrong.
Enjoy!

OL 6 on Virtual Box

I installed OL6 on VBox. I am new to linux. When I boot my virtual box, linux CUI login prompt comes instead of GUI login. Can any one help with that?
Thanks,
Diptesh

It's one of the changes in RHEL 6. Manually installing the admin Desktop and setup X-windows properly is not a trivial task. If this is a new installation than I suggest to reinstall, but this time:
- Select Customize now when selecting "Basic Server" (default) and "Oracle Linux Server".
- Select Desktops and choose all you need.

250 GB MBP HD full up with no user documents (75 GB "backups")! Parallels, Virtual Box or Mavericks?

hi all,
i have a mid-2009 MBP and have moved ALL my user documents to my Mac Pro because the Hard Drive seems like it is full up. TechToolsPro keeps giving me a less than 15% available hard drive error. i am running Parallels with an install of Windows 7 and i recently downloaded Virtual Box to text it out. i have BOTH these softwares on my Mac Pro.
i am trying to run WhatSize and OmniDiskSweeper to figure out what is going on but i am seeing 75 GB of "Backups" for starters on the MBP and i am only seeing 0KB of backups on the Mac Pro.
since i have both Parallels and Virtual Box installed on the Mac Pro and since i only USE the Parallels on the Mac Pro (and only rarely use the Parallels on the MBP) i am at a total loss as to whether this is a Mavericks issue or a Parallels issue or a Virtual Box issue. i have tried to uninstall VB but so far i am not having any luck in getting this done.
anyone have any ideas?
TIA

for some reason i am not finding a system preferences pane in the pulldown items
That's odd. One of the things TTP6 does when you install it is it self installs a preference pane. Though I don't know what you mean by a pulldown item.
When you open the System Preferences, there should be an icon for TechTool, like the one at the lower right shown here:
Click on that to bring up its feature settings. The second tab is the one that devours your disk space.
Uncheck all of the drives shown and then turn it off by clicking the radio button.
if i got into the Application Support directory in Library (i hold down the Option Key if i recall correctly to see this item listed in the Go pulldown in Finder)
Wrong Library folder. Holding down the Option key leads you to the one in your user account. You want the main Library folder at the root of the drive. It's the one shown next to Applications, System, Users, etc.

Installing ArchLinx+Guest Additions in Virtual Box(error during guest)

The Arch Linux install seemed to go through smoothly. I installed it using the wiki page, rebooted, and logged in as root. I am installing this for a class, so trying to follow the instructions to do so. Next, we are supposed to install 'Guest Additions' for Virtual box using the instructions below:
Now, you should install "Guest Additions" for VirtualBox. Guest additions allows you to share files between host and guest systems. This is very convenient for development as you will need to copy files back and forth between the host and guest operating systems. You can download Guest Additions at *link*.
You need to start the virtual machine before you can continue installing Guest Additions. To do that, just select your VM name from the list on the left hand side in VirtualBox and click Start. After logging into Arch Linux, you should mount this ISO image just as you had mounted the Arch Linux ISO file. You can then mount the cdrom inside the Guest OS by doing:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom
Now install the guest additions by doing:
cd /mnt/cdrom
sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
This will compile and install the kernel modules necessary for Guest Additions functionality. Please note that if you
recompile your own kernel (later as a part of project requirements), you will have to run this again so that the modules are
compiled and installed for the new kernel too.
Under settings for VBox, I mounted the Guest Additions image file, started Arch Linux, logged in as root, and followed the instructions above. I was able to do all of the above, but when I excute the last line, I am given this message:
http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/3971/linuxd.png
I have no idea where to go from here, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I feel like I have installed Arch Linux incorrectly. All the videos and pictures I see show a GUI type interface, but all I am presented with is a text-based interface. When I boot it up, it asks me to log in, and I am then taken to the command line, but I don't see the same GUI interface everyone else seems to have. Is this normal for a basic Arch Linux install? Thanks in advance.

Arch has no GUI until you install one. Some people don't want a GUI, so it's left to the user. The base install has only a command line interface.
You should probably read the Beginners Guide.
In case you missed them, there's two short articles, also on the wiki that might help you understand Arch, Arch Linux and The Arch Way

[SOLVED] Arch Linux Guest Virtual Box OSE problem

So I am installing my Arch Linux as a Guest in my Ubuntu partition, through Virtual Box OSE (3.2.8). I followed the wiki ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … lBox_Guest ) but still have an issue:
sudo pacman -S kernel26-headers xorg gcc make
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
sudo /mnt/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
But It fails on Shared folders, and cannot recognize X:
:: Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions Kernel Modules [BUSY]
:: Building the main Guest Additions module [DONE]
:: Building the shared folder support module [FAIL]
(Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find otu what went wrong)
:: Warning: Unknown version of the X Window System installed. Not installing X Window System drivers.
:: Installing graphics libraries and desktop services components [Done]
/var/log/vboxadd-install.log states:
/tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.c:406:9: error: unknown field 'clear_inode' specified in initalizer
/tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.c:406:9 warning: initalization from incompatible pointer type.
Which is strange, because as far as I know, clear_inode is part of the linux headers.
Any idea why this is happening? Do I just need to update VirtualBox to a newer version?

Updating Virtualbox fixed the issue.

Virtual box additions won't install

I'm running Arch on a virtual box right now to test it out. I'm trying to install the VBoxLinuxAdditions. I mounted /dev/cdrom to /media and typed

Your system does not seem to be set up to build kernel modules.

Then how come the additions won't work? For example when I'm in fullscreen it's not fullscreen just a small box.

Linux password in virtual box

I have gotten linux running in a virtual box.
However, it wants as user name/password. I don't know what it is or how to set it up.
I did not see any opportunity to set up an account when I was installing it.
I tried various reasonable guess (like my oracle acct), but no luck
So how do I set this up? Is there some place in 'virtual box' to set up accounts. I'm running on my home machine, so no big need for security ...
-Traruh
PS. Is there a better forum for this question?

The Linux installation typically asks to set a password for the root account during the installation. It also asks to create a non privileged user in the final post installation after the first reboot, provided yo have installed the graphical user interface. It is not possible to tell based on your information what you installed or what you are prompted for. If you are prompted to logon, you can use the username "root" and use the password you set during the installation.
The root account is a built-in account on all Linux/Unix systems with all privileges. If you have not used Linux before I suggest to search for beginners information and tutorials in Google; there are plenty.
Virtualbox does not manage any computer accounts. Your Windows login usually has nothing to do with your VM guest OS. If you forgot the root password of your Linux guest OS, you can reset it booting into "single" user mode.

Installing Oracle Linux 5.8 on Virtual Box

I'm trying to install Oracle Linux 5.8 on Virtual Box. I have downloaded V31120-01 and burned to the DVD, I think successfully.
However, when I start the Virtual machine, I get the Opening screen, "Oracle Linux" the little picture of the penguin guy, etc, so I think my DVD is good.
The screen says, "To install or upgrade in graphical mode, press the <enter> key." So I do.
Several lines of text flow across the screen, but then the process seems to stop with no prompt on what to do next or any indication that an error has occurred, it just stops.
The last lines I can see are:
ACPI: bus type pci registered
PCI: Using configuration type 1
ACPI: Interpreter enabled
ACPI: Using PIC for interrupt routing
ACPI: No dock devices found
ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00)

NET: Registered protocol family 2
I'm not sure if it's waiting for some input from me, or if there is a problem, but nothing happens beyond this point until I power down the virtual machine.

There is no need to burn a DVD because Virtualbox can directly mount and boot from the .iso image you downloaded. It is usually a good idea to check the md5 checksum of your download with the number provided by the download page to verify your download is not corrupted. There are no problems installing any version of Oracle Linux under Virtualbox provided you have the right hardware. I suggest to check the Virtualbox documentation.

Virtual Box Appliance request! Linux + XE + Apex 4.0

Hello,
Can anyone provide me a Virtual Box image with a complete installation of Oracle XE + Apex 4.0 on Linux OS?
I am trying to set up a testing environment, but I can't get APEX 4.0 to work on an ORACLE XE database installed on Centos 5.5. (all in a Virtual Box image)...
Please...
Regards,
George

I posted my problem on the APEX forum here: Apex 4.0 install on Oracle XE (on Linux) issue!
Actually, I am trying to complete my installation (Centos 5.5 + XE + Apex 4.0) for some weeks now. I ran into different, undocumented problems (I'll share them with you some time) and the last one is just the last drop in an ocean of compatibility problems. I'm sorry I chose Linux as an OS, I'm 5 minutes away from buying a Windows 2003 server license.
Even if I can succesfuly complete my installation, I'm thinking that a repository with the preinstalled VMbox images for learning+testing purposes would make my life a lot easier! I'm trying to migrate my APEX applications to 4.0, but until now I just wasted a lot of time on installing it!
Regards, George

Minimize and maximize Solaris 10 installed on VM virtual Box.

How can I minimize and maximize Solaris 10 installed on VM virtual Box.
Thanks
Paulo

Solaris is working just fine. Everything is ok. now since I open Solaris via VM Virtual box, the Solaris main page fills only half of the monitor. I can minimize/maximize the Virtual Box. But Solaris dimensions are fix and doesn't change. This leaves me a little room to open applications on Solaris. I had the same problems with my Ubuntu, by installing adds-on it was fixed. For Solaris I installed Guest additions, didnt help.

Virtual Box 4.0.8 Windows Host - Guest Additions problem

Hi,
I have installed Virtual Box 4.0.8 with host O/S Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Processor AMD Phenom II x6 and enabled the VT.
I installed OEL 5.6 and 6.1 guests (both x86_64 version).
But when I installed Guest Additions, nothing happened and only showing maximum resolution *1024x768.*
I never had this problem before with my older machine and older version of Virtual Box.
is this known issues? is this cause by the VT or conflict with the graphic card?
Any advice appreciated
thanks
Lie

This would be better addressed on the VirtualBox forum. see https://www.virtualbox.org/
