I'm trying to install Virtual Box.
It's been quite the soap opera so far.
rpm -qa | grep -i "virtual"

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules [FAILED]
(Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)
It keeps saying that there is no dkms package available.
But when I try to get it with yum:
yum install dkms
Loaded plugins: security
Setting up Install Process
No package dkms available.
Nothing to do
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
At first, yum didn't find anything.
yum install dkms

So I changed public-yum-el5.repo
change every enabled to: enabled=1

I did find many dkms package at:
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=dkms&submit=Search+...&system=&arch=
A few hundred perhaps.
Which package would be the correct one for my server's architecture and Virtual Box?
dkms-2.0.20.2-1.el5.rf.noarch.html
looks promising.
See more here:
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/dag/redhat/el5/x86_64/DByName.html
Would this one be correct?
Thanks a lot!

Are you saying that if I had dkms installed, it wouldn't work?I'm saying that there is no reason to install any non-Oracle RPMs to get VirtualBox to work properly. You just need the right kernel-devel package for the kernel you're running.

    Hi Experts,

    I used the commands below :

    I searched through the net and tried using "yum clean all" and yum update etc.. but the problem is not resolved...
    Please note I booted from a linux Oracle linux 6 bootable CD and trying to install Oracle Linux 6 kernel on my machine..
    I tried installing "yum-utils" package too using the below command, but that too failed giving missing dependency errors..
    Yum install yum-utils
    I dont' know much about linux and stuck with the issues above for more than 30 days now... please help...
    Regards Jags

    You cannot use the yum utility to do a major version upgrade, such as upgrading from Oracle Linux 5 to Oracle Linux 6. Kernel version 2.6.32-358.el6 is the RHCK kernel and requires Oracle Linux 6. So if your attempt was to install a driver that works only for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 kernel, you will have to upgrade the OS first. For this you must start from the OL6 installation DVD, but upgrading between major release versions is not officially supported. You can however upgrade to the latest Oracle UEK kernel, by enabling the appropriate channel in the yum repository configuration file.

  • Package not available on Production

    Hi Gurus,
    i am in a big problem. i had a package which consisted all the Z-developments done in SAP DMS at the time of implementation but now when we are moving to ECC 6.0 upgradation, i do not able to find that package. Without the package on production system how could the programs running? The packages are available on Development server.
    Just i wanted to know that how could the packages be deleted from the production system? how to track that who has deleted the same?
    thanks and regards
    Shikha Gupta.

    Hi,
    I think that the Z-Package needs to be transported maybe separatly to your production system. Unforutnatly I'm not a  transport expert and so I cannot send you more detailed information on this issue.
    Best regards,

  • Win 7 Pro - Systems reboots for no clear reason after package made available

    Hi,
    We have made a basic package available in self-service a number of machines in sccm 2012. Users on win 7 pro machines have reported that this package installs automatically anyway and then reboots the pc without warning.
    Has anyone seen similar issues or know where we can get some meaningful info from the raft of logs and reports available.
    Thanks

    There should be no different between Win7 Pro or Enterprise. You need to check the logs Torsten mentioned above to see what the install returned to ConfigMgr.
    You could also analyze the Event Logs on the machine, it will tell you what account and install kicked off the machine restart.

  • When will a 64 bit version of Picture Package be available for CC?

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know when a 64 bit version of Picture Package will be available for Photoshop CC?
    Thanks.

    According to this, PP/CS has not been supported since CS5, so I'd sat it was unlikely it will be updated for CC
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/plug-ins-photoshop-cs61.html
    We get quite a few references to it here though, so maybe someone has come up with a workaround.
    Anyone know of third party scripts or plugins?

  • Is the codecs package still available?

    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mplayer
    At the wiki link it says to install the codecs package but I can't seem to find it in the repositories, is it still available? If not, what's the replacement package?
    Thanks.

    Almost everything in the codecs package has been replaced by a native solution. The last few remaining things are inching their way into FFmpeg's subversion tree right now. From there they'll end up in every other project very quickly. In the case of Mplayer, it's the same the code base. Is there something in particular that you need that isn't working?

  • How to change package for the program or t code if package not available?

    I have a T Code that was imported from ECC5 to BW system.
    This t code as well as its program have a package ZXYBC assigned in ECC5 system.
    However, the package that it was assigned (ZXYBC) does not exist in BW but exists in ECC5.
    Now I am not able to do any modifications (in the BW system)  to the T Code or its associated program as the Package ZXYBC does not exist in BW.
    Note: Change Object Directory Entry does not work.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Open your main program of your TCODE in SE80 transaction.(Go to se93 transaction to get the program name for your TCODE).
    Right click on the root node.
    Other Functions->Change Package Assignment.
    GIve the new package name (THis package should be already created in your system).
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • Finding which OWA packages are available for use in the schema/database

    Hello,
    When I type in the following in SQLplus:
    select owa_util.get_version from dual
    It returns with
    GET_VERSION
    9.0.4.0.1
    Is it possible to write a query that tells me which OWA packages are included in version 9.0.4.0.1
    I’m interested in the OWA_SEC package
    Thank You

    THANK YOU….
    I have another question:
    I have successfully compiled the following package:
    (It is based on a package in the text “Oracle Web Application Programming for PL/SQL Developers” by Susan Boardman etc… page 687-688
    The SPEC and BODY code is as follows:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE AUTHEN_TEST IS
    FUNCTION AUTHORIZE RETURN BOOLEAN;
    PROCEDURE HELLO_WORLD;
    END;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY AUTHEN_TEST IS
    FUNCTION AUTHORIZE RETURN BOOLEAN IS
    v_user VARCHAR2(10);
    v_password VARCHAR2(10);
    BEGIN
    owa_sec.set_protection_realm('The Realm of Testing');
    v_user := UPPER(owa_sec.get_user_id);
    v_password := UPPER(owa_sec.get_password);
    IF v_user = 'PREN' AND v_password = 'HALL' THEN
    RETURN TRUE;
    ELSE
    RETURN FALSE;
    END IF;
    END AUTHORIZE;
    PROCEDURE HELLO_WORLD IS
    v_status BOOLEAN;
    BEGIN
    htp.p('TESTING');
    v_status := authorize;
    IF v_status = TRUE THEN
    htp.p('WENT TO PASSWORD SECTION');
    ELSE
    htp.p('DID NOT GO TO PASSWORD SECTION');
    END IF;
    END HELLO_WORLD;
    END AUTHEN_TEST;
    As I said the code compiles!!
    However what I want it to do is successfully run the following code from the package:
    owa_sec.set_protection_realm('The Realm of Testing');
    v_user := UPPER(owa_sec.get_user_id);
    v_password := UPPER(owa_sec.get_password);
    and have the user be asked for a password and login
    Currently when I run it the browser displays:
    TESTING DID NOT GO TO PASSWORD SECTION
    Any advice is appreciated
    Thank You

  • Business Packages - Release availability information in SDN

    Hello experts,
    is the information related to "Primary Backend System" for Business Packages listed at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/contentportfolio a minimum release requirement or an exact match?
    Example:
    Business Package for Compensation Specialists Release 60.2
    Primary Backend System SAP - ERP 2004 
    Is it also possible to use it with ERP 2005 as Backend and what would be the implications?
    Thanks for your support!

    Hello,
    thanks for the fast reply.
    My understanding was that only XSS has Webdynpro components and the Business Packages itself only include roles, iviews etc. So I would assume that no webdynpro components are included in the Business Packages.
    I would be especially interested if a Business Package which is released for NW04s Portal and ERP 2004 Backend also works with a NW04s Portal and a ERP 2005 backend (as the example mentioned above).
    You are writing some work for higher versions as well- could you please specify which business packages you mean?
    Thanks a lot!
    Bye,

  • Javax.* packages not available under JavaFX

    Where are the javax.* packages in JavaFX. I want to use some existing libraries that use javax.crypto.* but these packages are not in the rt15.jar??

    Just to add some more background.... many of the more popular public APIs use security based on HMAC signatures (e.g. Amazon, Google GData). Typically you use javax.crypto.Mac, javax.crytpo.SecretKey and javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec to implement HMAC.

    In our forms6i application we have used the WIN_API_UTILITY package to delete a file from the client machine.
    But while porting to forms10g, we have used Webutil to carry out TEX_IO operation on the client machine.
    But in Webutil, there is no WIN_API_UTILITY package.
    So, please tell me what are the alternatives to be used??
