Virtualbox wants Xorg 1.12, but Linux = 3.6?

Hi,
I'm attempting to install Arch Linux under Virtualbox 4.2.0.
I'm also using the [testing] repository, in order to use [kde-unstable].
Anyhow, I've installed Xorg 1.13, and this of course doesn't work with the Virtualbox drivers:
When I attempt to start X, I get the error message about ABI mismatch - server is 13, but one of the drivers expects 12:
Loading extension GLX
(EE) module ABI major version (12) doesn't match the server's version (13)
This is apparently a known issue, while we wait for upstream updates:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150418
So I thought, fair enough, I'll downgrade Xorg from 1.13 to 1.12
I commented out [testing] in my pacman.conf, and then ran:
pacman -Suu
This also includes downgrading the Linux kernel from 3.6 to 3.5.
However, then virtualbox complains:
:: vitualbox-guest-modules: requires linux>=3.6
So it seems I'm stuck in a bit of a bind - I need to downgrade Xorg in order to get Virtualbox drivers to work, but Virtualbox wants a Linux kernel from testing?
Cheers,
Victor

Yes, this appeared on my mirror a few minutes after I reported this. But for the original poster, his problem was probably the lack of community-testing. Thanks.

  • Trying to install vmware-player but it wants Xorg-server

    Can I build vmware with the Xfree package, or do I need to upgrade to Xorg?
    Is the Xorg process smooth now?
       Thanks.

    Okay, my bad....  :oops:
    I have xorg - R6.8.2-6
    vmware-player wants xorg-server.
    When I try to install the server, I get a message about ttf-bitstream-vera being needed and then xorg being a conflict. Should I upgrade xorg first, then get the new vmware version in a few days?
    What is the ttf_bitstream-vera problem that it conflicts with xorg? IIRC this package had problems when I installed from the CD the first time.
       Thanks.

  • I am trying to transfer my movies (mp4 files) to my IPad, but they are not showing up on the IPad. I have 13 movies showing on my IPad that they are in ICloud. I've sync'd the movies I want to the IPad, but only one is showing under the "movies" folder. ?

    I have been trying to transfer some different movies from my PC to my IPad, but they are not showing in the "movie" folder. I have sync'd the movies (these are mp4 files) that I wanted transfered, but only one is showing in the folder. There are 13 other movies in the folder that have the ICloud symbol in the corner of their picture. I understand that I can pull those movies from ICloud any time I want to watch them, but I want to watch the ones that I've just sync'd with my IPad. How do I find them? After I checked the movies I wanted, I "applied" them and watched it sync and copy the wanted movies to my IPad. Now what?  Thanks.

    There are some good programs that you could use to convert the format, Handbrake or Mpegstreamclip are two good free ones. Convert them to MP4 and then try importing them again.

  • My Finder is going crazy.  Keep getting a message saying it quit unexpectedly and asking if I want to restore windows, but I can't get it to stop.  buttons don't work.

    My Finder is going crazy.  Keep getting a message saying it quit unexpectedly and asking if I want to restore windows, but I can't get it to stop.  buttons don't work.

    Something else you can try.
    In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop. 
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Terminal.
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    You will need to do that after any updates.

  • Hi. I opened iPhoto and, suddenly, it tells me " WHAT IPHOTO LIBRARY DO I WANT TO USE?" but i had a iPhoto library. When i search on my Pictures, i have the file IPHOTO LIBRARY but it appears on a dim letters and i can not open it.

    Hi. I need some help on the following problem. I opened iPhoto and, suddenly, it tells me " WHAT IPHOTO LIBRARY DO I WANT TO USE?" but i had a iPhoto library. When i search on my Pictures, i have the file IPHOTO LIBRARY but is was not the icon on it i previously remembered and it appears on a dim letters and it can not be opened ... How can i recover it??

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards
    TD

  • I want to use icloud on my macbook and cant because I am using OSX10.6.8 - I want to upgrade this but I cant upgrade to mountain lion as my mac does not support this - cannot find a way to go to Version 10.7.4 which i understand supports icloud - help

    want to use icloud on my macbook and cant because I am using OSX10.6.8 - I want to upgrade this but I cant upgrade to mountain lion as my mac does not support this - cannot find a way to go to Version 10.7.4 which i understand supports icloud - help to do this please

    If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there. 
    searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
    The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
    As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.
    Regards.

  • If i have 2 wndows open and try to close one, both close. It asks me if I want to close both but not an option to close 1

    if i go to a site and click on a link in the site - sometimes the back button is not there. If I try to close the top window to go back to the original site, it warns me I'm going to close both windows. I only want to close one but don't know how so I wind up closing both and having to re-open firefox.

    After trying above suggestions:
    * Use '''CTRL + W''' to Close One Tab at a time
    * When there is only One Tab in a Window, using '''CTRL + W''' will Close the whole Window
    * The attached image shows the Warning when you try to Close a Window with Multiple Tabs by clicking '''X'''(Close) button at the top-right of a window
    Check and tell if its working.

  • We have multiple devices in the family, including now 4 iphones, all who share the same Apple ID. I want to stop this, but need thoughts on multiple IDs as Findmyphone works well as same ID?!

    We have multiple devices in the family, including now 4 iphones, all who share the same Apple ID. I want to stop this, but need thoughts on multiple IDs as Findmyphone works well as same ID?!

    I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
    What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
    Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
    Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

One account i do not want to use anymore but it is linked to my main email account. the account i do not want anymore is still in its free stage and i have not purchased anything with it. My other Adobe ID account is linked to an email i rarely use and don't particularly want to use. i have tried changing the linked email account to my regular one i use. But it obviously does not allow me because of it already being linked to my other non used obsolete Adobe ID account. Is there any solution to this?? Please help.
