Virtual Box Guest problems with libgl

Hi.
I had a Virtual Box (under Windows 7 64 bits) running for a few days with no problems.
It run updated Arch, with KDE.
Yesterday the problems started, after doing "pacman -Syu", something has changed...
From now on, when I start X, I only get a black screen.
I've traced the problem to the libgl library - if it's not installed, X starts correctly. If it's there - X fails.
In order to verify my assumption, I've installed a new Virtual Machine according to the "unofficial beginner's guide", installed X, tested it, installed XFCE4, tested it - so far all OK.
Then, I've installed audacity (it also uses libgl, and I wanted to avoid KDE to be sure it's not with them).
And now - there is this failure in the Xorg.0.log:
[ 6552.010] (EE) AIGLX error: vboxvideo does not export required DRI extension
(I wanted to attach the 2 log files, isn't it possible??)
Thanks,
Zvika

This is a bug in virtualbox. Somebody said it happened upon upgrading nvidia drivers on the host machine: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4789

[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.

[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?

Error installing virtual box guest additons

On my windows 7 laptop I have virtual box 4.0 . I installed Oracle enterprise linux 5.5 and i want to make a shared folder . When i run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run I get the folowing :
"Your system does not seem to be set up to build kernel modules . If the following module compilation fails then this could be the reason .
The missing package can be probably installed with yum install kernel-devel-2.6.18-195.el5"
After this it invite me to see the content of file /var/log/vboxadd-install.log . In this log it tell me it can not find the kernel sources .
What can I do? I must download anothr version of Oracle enterprise linux? wihich one?
Many thanks,
Aurel

Hello,
I configured the yum tool (as I find out on http://public-yum.oracle.com/) and I run yum install kernel-devel . After that I run sh /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.0.0_69151/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
The process of building kernel modules for Virtual Box additions is ending in error - it doesn't know about gcc tool. In what package there is this tool?
Thank you,
Aurel

Is there a Virtual Box Appliance available with OWB 11gR2?

Does anyone know if such a thing is available (like the Developer Days appliance, but set up for DW)? Thanks.

I had lots of trouble too, but finally got it to work. It's crazy that someone at OTN can't fix this.
See my July 7 2010 post in this thread.

Also, disable all security softwares and try again.
Are you able to ping the DC? If not, that may be a problem with your routes.
Also, use nslookup to check that all is okay with DNS records.

To much disk IO when using virtual box in windows 2008sp2

We are using virtualbox for our linux guest servers on windows 2008 sp2 host.
when ever i start Installation(EBS/SAP), Virtual box is crashing with IO errors , then i can see high disk io consumption in server.
RAM: 32GB
HDD: 2TB(partitions C drive : 100 GB and D drive 946 GB and E drive 860 )
INTL-CORE I7-3820-3.6GZ
I've tried to use below fix but i am getting error message that this fix is not compatible. .
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982383/en-us
i am really new to win-server admin,let me know what else log files i need to look to find the issue.

partition full formatted and allocated in vbox ? if set dynamic it will create bigger io in the end. If vbox fail because of io, then check to update
it.
I ran vbox off a atom processor with a built-in HDD controller, and yes it was working even if lagging to hell because of bad IO, but crashing is another story. (it was 2012 DC + Exchange and VBOX with a full OS on it... on a IDE 5200's hdd, to give
the stat)

Just had Infinity installed - major problem with i...

I have a Goodmans Freesat box.
Until yesterday it was connected to ADSL (around 15mbps) via a HH2 and it worked ok apart from a bit of buffering when viewing in HD.
After having Infinity via HH5 installed yesterday afternoon I can no longer watch iPlayer - it is very slow going through the menus, it is continually buffering & freezing, even on SD, and I keep getting a message saying that there are connection issues.
I've swaped cables but same result.
Nothing has changed other than Infinity + HH5.
What's the problem?

Hi PaddyB
Thanks for reply. Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
I have carried out the test as per your instructions.
Results as follows - (not sure if relevant but the figures in brackets are what I got using wifi instead of cable connection)
Download Speed = 34.98 (53.31)
Upload Speed = 13.59 (12.53)
Ping Latency = 39.13 (37.13)
I also carried out "Further Diagnostics" and a link to the screen cap is below.
I did not continue any further than this as I feel it is beyond my capabilities.
http://postimg.org/image/3u1lhof4l/
Just to confirm the message I get when trying to use iPlayer on my Freesat box - "a problem with the internet connection has been detected"
Thanks for your help - hope the above information is what you wanted.
Look forward to hearing from you again soon.

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/

Problems with getting internet explorer on my mac with virtual box 4.3.20, who can help?

This is what I did:
1) downloaded and installed virtual box 4.3.20
2) copied
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | IEVMS_VERSIONS="11" bash
in the Terminal (for IE 11 only). I got this from the link: Internet Explorer for Mac the Easy Way: Run IE 7, IE8, & IE9 Free in a Virtual Machine
3) that is where things went wrong, see attached image for the error I get (after a long time) in the Terminal
Tried it twice but every time the same problem.. I hope someone can help me!

The error means that your download session was interrupted. There could be a problem with your Internet connection or a problem with the remote server providing the download. If you otherwise have no trouble with Internet, I suspect the later.
But why would you want to bother downloading someone's virtual machine to run MS Internet Explorer? Not only is there a real security risk since you don't know what the VM or installation script is doing, but if the VM is running MS Windows, then the person providing the software is breaching software distribution and copyrights laws, and so will you, using the software.
Btw, have you read any of the comments? Do you really want to download 20GB? (nonsense)
If you need IE and VirtualBox, simply create a new VM and install MS Windows using a regular copy and enter your license code. There is also no need to install different versions of IE, since IE can be configured to run as a prior version.
However, there is no need to install and run MS Windows to run IE. There are products that provide free Windows API to let you run PC applications as they were Mac applications without installing Windows, e.g. Wineskin, Wine Bottler, or commercial solutions, such as Crossover.
See http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Internet-Explorer-on-Mac-Using-WineBottler

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?

ODBC Problems with SQL Server 2012 on Virtual Machine

I am having problem with my application after my IT department upgraded to SQL Server 2012 with error "ConngetDataToModify.vi:1"<ERR>Object 0x2222222 is not valid. I have 4 servers running the same executable without problem before the upgraded. However, after the upgrade 2 of these Server are having the problem with the ODBC connection. Here are my setup, the application was created using LabView8.5, we have 2 physical server box running Window Server 2003, 2 Virtual Machine on Windows Server 2008, and a Virtual Machine with SQL 2012 Server. The 2 physical server running the executable without a problem after the upgrade, but the 2 Virtual Server were unable to connects to the ODBC connection. Anyone have any idea why this is happening , it is the problem with compatibility between my application with Server 2008 and SQL 2012 Server, or is there a problem with both beings Virtual Servers? As I said, the 2 physical Server seem to be running without any problem with the upgrade.

My guess is that the problem is not specifically with LV. This should be relatively easy to check if you create a UDL file and double click it. This opens a Microsoft wizard which allows you to configure and test DB connections (the UDL file itself is basically just a text file which holds a connection string). If it doesn't work there, it won't work in LV.
As for what the actual problem is, a common culprit is the firewall, which is easy enough to check by disabling it. Another option is the surface area configuration of SQL Server, which will not allow network connections unless you tell it to.
It should probably also be noted that LV 8.5 is not officially supported on Windows Server. I'm assuming that's not the issue, but be aware of it.
Try to take over the world!

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

Problems with html content in box

Hi! I have a problem with html content. For example photoswipe. If I import the folder with the index.html of photoswipe as an article all works fine. If I link it trough the folio overlay creator/webcontent) into a box in indesign dps, it stays empty. Seems like it doesnt find the images/paths??
Klaus

This sounds familiar. PhotoSwipe doesn't seem to like working in a web content overlay unless the JavaScript and other source files are uploaded within HTMLResources. This means editing your local HTML file so that paths to the JavaScript, images and CSS files begin by pointing to HTMLResources virtual folder (../../../HTMLResources/) before their subfolder and filenames. It's worth a try.
