Virtualbox linux-header wrong kernel

Hello everyone, This is my first post to the forums.
I got arch up and running a number of months ago. Installed gnome and was overall satisfied with pacman (this was my first experience)
Recently I tried to install virtualbox from the offical repos. The install seemd to have went normally and I even installed all the optional dependancies. When I went to run VB it asked me for vboxdrv kernel module 3.4.9-1-ARCH. Seemed like a easy fix to pacman -S linux-headers. This did not fix the problem. Pacman tried to target linux-headers-3.5.3-1. I think I am doing something really simple incorrectly. Any help would be appreciated.
* I have tried googling and searching the prior posts, I must be using the wrong keywords

thanks for you help, turns out that my system was out of date and then pacman updated the kernel, i guess i didn't notice that it updated the kerenl and needed a reboot.
I should restart my PCs every week or 2... just got lazy. A simple reboot booted into my new kernel and fixed the problem.

Cannot install oracle vpn on linux getting error kernel-sourcecode is neede

cannot install oracle vpn on linux getting error kernel-sourcecode is needed by gds_cisco_vpn_client-2.0-llrhel4.i386.. i already installed kernel-devel still it get the same error. pls help.

1. kernel (.rpm)
2. kernel-devel (.rpm) - containing only Makefiles and some kernel header files
3. kernel source rpm (src.rpm) - source for rebuilding the kernel
4. kernel-sourcecode (.rpm) - source-tree for developing custom kernels
are four different packages.
If you are running OEL-4 (2.6.9 kernel) and you have an ULN account, you can download kernel-sourcecode rpm from ULN. There is no kernel-sourcecode for OEL-5 available on ULN site.

Wrong kernel loaded?

Hello
I am currently in the process of installing arch and i had a networking problem i had no interfaces so i came across some thread which said that if that happens u might be loading the wrong kernel
so i ran
uname -a
: Linux 3.17.3
and also pacman -Qi linux
:linux 3.17.4
and then i looked more on that issue and i came across this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=181536
in which someone said you might not be mounted to boot so i tried mount /dev/sda2(this is the boot partition) /boot and i got in return error
unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
the thing is that i made it fat according to this tutorial http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1860 … -uefi.html of installing arch on a uefi motherboard and also according to this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … _Partition
i just wanna state that during the installation process i dont remember any problems mounting the partition
what do i do to fix this problems?
thanks a lot

UEFI boot problems with Linux 3.7 kernels

According to this thread in the Arch Linux forums, some people are having problems booting some versions of the Linux 3.7 kernel. Here are the numbers:
3.7.3 works for some, but not others
3.7.4 works for some, but not others
3.7.5 works
3.7.6 does not
3.7.7 works
3.7.8 does not
The problem occurs with both the Gummiboot and rEFInd boot managers, and has so far only been reported on Lenovo hardware. I have a ThinkPad W530, and can confirm that on Gummiboot, 3.7.6 does not work, whereas 3.7.5 and 3.7.7 does work. It looks like a Lenovo-related issue to me. It has only been reported on Arch Linux as far as I know. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the cursor did blink in the top left corner.
I gather from your comments that, if I install a new HD, I will be able to re-install the Windows 7 32-bit O/S from the Product Recovery DVD GMR410014EN0, which was supplied by Toshiba with the laptop and it would also follow, if that is true, that I would be able to Format (Boot n' Nuke) the existing HD and re-install the O/S onto it before I get my friend to lay out cash for a new HD.
I would appreciate your confirmation that the above conclusions are correct as I was under the, hopefully incorrect, impression that the Recovery Disk could only be used to repair an existing system. I have the Microsoft licence number as it is printed on the bottom of my friends machine.
Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

How to verify RTSJ use linux real time kernel?

Hi,
I'm complete newbie into this area and I'm trying out the RTSJ 2.1 beta Linux. I'm using this on Ubuntu with the linux real time kernel. Is there anyway to find out whether the real time kernel is being actually used or in other words is there a way to find out whether RTSJ works fine with the real time kernel on Ubuntu? I see that the programs get compiled and run irrespective of whether I use the real time kernel or the generic kernel.
Thanks,
Vidura

Hi,
I would assume, like other distributions, that you either boot the real-time kernel or you don't. uname should show you what you are running, but you'd have to ask the Ubuntu folk what you should see for the RT kernel.
To see if you are benefiting from real-time, you need to run a RTSJ app that tracks deadline misses or measures latency/jitter. Try it on the non-real-time kernel and the real-time one and see what you get. Some of the examples in the "Getting Started" guide should be usable for these purposes.

Java SE Embedded for ARM9 (ARMv5 Linux - Headful) gets rmiregistry failure

Hi, all,
I am using a embedded platform with TI Davinci ARM9 processor. I meet a technical problem when using Java SE Embedded 6 for ARM9 (ARMv5 Linux - Headful). I have a Java program working well in the PC with Java virtual machine.
However, when this Java program can not run in the embedded platform. There is an error reported: "failed to start rmiregistry". The detailed error message is below:
rmi:

[java] The RMI registry is not running, it will be started now.
[java] If running under Windows you may have to hit ctrl-C after

I searched in the Java SE Embedded, there is no the file named rmiregistry. However, there is a file named rmiregistry in the PC's Java. Is it the reason caused the failure? Is the package of Java SE Embedded not complete? Anyone get idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks.

Oracle 10g for Fedora Linux 3 with Kernel 2.6.9

Can any body suggest a link, from where I can download the Oracle database 10g for Fedora Core 3 Linux with Kernel version 2.6.9-1*.
I went through the oracle site site but i was not able to find a one for Fedora 3 instead i found for Fedora 4.
Thanks.......
Suneel

You will not find one exactly as you require.
As I suggested in the duplicate link
Oracle 10g for Fedora Linux 3 with Kernel 2.6.9 you need to take a version of Oracle that seems to close to your Linux and then carefully tinker to make it work.,

I welcome any test I can perform to prove empirically whether it is the uek kernel or not.It's definitely the UEK, for the reasons stated above. Oracle Linux 5 Update 6 was the first version of Oracle Linux to ship with the UEK as the default kernel, and we hadn't quite gotten all the naming aspects 100% correct yet. So, the 2.6.32-100 kernel is absolutely a UEK.
So, on a freshly installed Oracle Linux 5 Update 6 box:
# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-100.26.2.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jan 18 20:11:49 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LinuxIf I then upgrade yum (required to get the yum changes to support kernel-uek installs) and then upgrade the box to the latest and reboot:
# yum update yum
# yum update
# rebootWe're now running the latest UEK Release 1 kernel (2.6.32-400.26.2.el5uek) and it identifies itself as such:
# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-400.26.2.el5uek #1 SMP Tue Apr 23 19:04:54 PDT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LinuxNotice that it now says el5uek in the uname string.
We changed the RPM and kernel identifiers from kernel-uek-2.6.32-100.35.1.el5uek. So, it wasn't in the release of Oracle Linux 5 Update 6, but happened in that update errata cycle. All subsequence releases of the UEK Release 1 (2.6.32) and UEK Release 2 (2.6.39) identify themselves with an el5uek or el6uek marker.
BTW, is there any particular reason you're using a template that has a particularly old version of Oracle Linux 5 instead of using the latest Update 9? You can find Oracle Linux 5 Update 9 templates under the heading "Oracle VM 3 Templates (OVF) for Oracle Linux 5 Media Pack for x86_64 (64 bit)" on the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.

RH Linux vm.swappiness kernel parameter

The linux kernel parameter vm.swappiness affects the tendency of the OS to swap. It has a range from 0 to 100, with 0 causing swapping to occur only when needed and 100 to swap more aggressively. The default setting is 60.
There is little information available regarding an appropriate setting for this for Oracle RAC nodes. Do any of you have experience with swappiness? I have seen a few articles which recommend setting it to zero (0).
Best regards,
Bill

Our systems administrator have inquired about this parameter. I am not fixated on this and do not suffer from compulsive tuning disorder.
You, on the other hand, are obviously compulsive about too many of the wrong things. I'm sure everyone loves working with you...

Virtualbox and a custom kernel

Virtualbox works fine with Arch's default kernel, but not with my custom kernel, although it used to. I haven't used it in a month or two, and have done updates since then. The custom kernel I'm using on all three machines I'll be talking about is vanilla 3.0.3 + tuxonice. "Mercury" and "Aesculapius" both had their kernels built with a slightly modified config from "Posidon". At some point in time, VBox has worked on all of them. It is currently broken on Posidon and Aesculapius but works on Mercury. Aesculapius is up to date as of yesterday (April 28th). Posidon was last updated April 20th. Mercury was last updated March 28th.
- It's not (just) the kernel version. I've tried vanilla 3.3.3 with the same config on Aesculapius. VBox was still broken. (VBox worked with Arch's linux 3.3.3 on Aesculapius.)
- It's not (just) the config. Mercury (on which VBox works) has its kernel built from the same config as Posidon (with the processor optimization changed from Intel Dual Core to Intel Atom and a module for an Atheros wireless card and the built-in webcam added. ca0106 is removed and intel-hda is added.) Aesculapius was built from the same config as Posidon (with processor optimization changed from Intel Dual Core to Intel Pentium 4, ca0106 removed and emu101k(?) added, with a few other modules for USB webcams added.)
- I have virtualbox-source installed on all three machines, and the modules were built with no complaint with /usr/bin/vboxbuild since the last updates of any package.
- I have vboxdrv, vboxnetadp, and vboxnetflt modules loaded when attempting to start VMs.
"Broken" means:
- When starting a VM in VBox, a progress bar appears, "Starting virtual machine ..." and hangs at 0%. Soon a second progress bar appears, "Starting virtual machine ... (2/2)" and hangs at 20%. I cannot close the VM window except by killing all instances of VirtualBox, VBoxSVC, and VBoxXPCOMIPCD .
- dmesg contains this:

What package(s) is/are causing the problem? I've already tried downgrading linux-api-headers and glibc to no effect. Alternately, what options should I change on my custom kernels? I can post some kernel configs if that would be helpful.

I got the same problem with custom kernel-netbook, vboxdrv is freshly built and loaded, but I got two progress bars, one at 0% other at 20% and zombie unclosable window of hanged VM. Searching for solution...
Got it! Kernel was compiled with GCC 4.6, while modules with GCC 4.7.

[SOLVED] VirtualBox complaining after each kernel upgrade

I'm using virtualbox-bin from the AUR (the one with USB support) and after each kernel update this error comes up:
I know it's actually /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup
(apparently VirtualBox isn't aware of which distribution it's running on)
This message comes up every once in a while (usually after a kernel upgrade) and I was wondering if I can do something about it... Should I install the DKMS package from the AUR prior to running the above command? Maybe that will shut it up once and for all.
What do you think?
PS: The wiki says to run "vboxbuild" but /usr/bin/vboxbuild doesn't even exist.

Solved it a year later because I got tired of running "sudo /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup && sudo modprobe vboxdrv" after every kernel update. Hmph... After reading this and studying the virtualbox-hook package from the AUR, I decided that it's finally time to look into it.
It's easy.
1. Create a "/lib/initcpio/install/vbox" file (or whatever you wanna call it) with the following contents:
# vim: set ft=sh:
build ()
echo "Building VirtualBox modules..."
/etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup
echo "Ok."
help ()
cat<<HELPEOF
This hook rebuilds VirtualBox modules. It does nothing to the initrd image.
HELPEOF
2. Add it to the "HOOKS" section from /etc/mkinitcpio.conf:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usbinput filesystems vbox"
Now the next time the linux and linux-headers packages are updated, the script will kick in and the modules will be rebuilt. I used to have it during boot process and it took forever until it would load X. Haha. I remember I used to go to bathroom just after I turned on the computer... Yeah, it took that long before it was done. Anyway, I asked the author if he can perhaps create a virtualbox-bin-hook package or somehow modify it to also work with virtualbox-bin. We shall see.
Oh, and don't forget to add "vboxdrv" to the "MODULES" section from /etc/rc.conf, if you haven't done so already.

Black screen with dual head with kernel 3.7

When I boot my (rather old) laptop with a VGA screen attached, the main LVDS screen goes totally black (with no backlight) at loading the module i915 and the VGA screen goes black (but one can see the backlight is on). When I boot without the VGA screen attached all is normal (and I can plug it afterwards). In the first case xorg does not start (or is not visible).
I have no problems with previous kernels or with the lts kernel if I pass the VIDEO=SVIDEO-1:d kernel parameters (otherwise the screen goes black when I attach no screen).
Anyone having such problams, any workaround. For the moment, I just use the lts kernel.
Relevant output of lspci:
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Oracle 8.0.5 installation on linux RH6.0 kernel 2.2.5-15

Good evening.
I'm trying to install Oracle 8.0.5 on a machine running Linux RH 6.0 kernel 2.2.5-15.
I wish to obtain some information about how and where can I set the following parameters:
SHMMAX
SHMMIN
SHMMNI
SHMSEG
SEMMNS
SEMMNI
SEMMSL
PROCESSES
Thanks forward for your help.

You'll have to be prepared to wade through and understand the Linux way of recompiling your kernel. The files can be located using the "find" command. There is some great "HOW-TO"s in the Linux RedHat site.
Tip: Be very careful how you answer the "make config" questions because it can mess up the resulting VMLINUZ object. Also, be sure to place secondary entry in your "lilo.conf" to allow you a graceful way of getting back to the old kernel should the new one fail.
Good Luck!

OAS 4.0.8.1 on Linux: Error with Kernel 2.2.18

Hi,
on our linux-box OAS 4.0.8.1 is running under Kernel 2.2.13 (SMP, SuSe 6.3) without big problems.
Today we have tried to run OAS under Kernel 2.2.18 (the latest stable from the 2.2.x series) but the OAS reports an error while starting a listener (something with ORB error).
Is anybody running OAS under 2.2.18?
Any suggestions?
Bye

I get this when executing either from the node manager (graphically) or at the command line.
Any Ideas?
Friends.
I am with the same problem.
