The release virutalbox-ose doesn't work is cause i think the maintainer forgot to added VirtualBox.so has a softlink. It needs to be in /usr/lib and /usr/lib/virtualbox for something. But like you said tsweetser, all that needs to be done to get to work is copy VirtualBox.so to /usr/lib/virtualbox.

I did that before. Virtualbox started fine, but when I wanted to run an OS, I'd get some version error.

i did copy Virtualbox.so from /usr/lib to /usr/lib/virtualbox but still the same message.. what else should i do to fix it without putting virtualbox_bin? ty

teMplaryum · 2008-09-21 06:19:15

I made a symlink in /usr/lib/virtualbox to /usr/lib/Virtualbox.so, but I still need to start VirtualBox with sudo, even though I am in vboxusers group.

EpicRag · 2008-09-21 13:11:11

There's another problem with this package.
I copied the VirtualBox.so file into /usr/lib/virtualbox and I got another message:

$ sudo VirtualBox 
VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: libQtCore.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Knowing that Virtual Box 2.0 uses Qt4, I installed it and VirtualBox started working. Therefore, Qt4 needs to be on the dependencies list of the package virtualbox-ose-2.0.2.

Also, does anybody know who can I run this with my regular user without sudo?

Put yourself in the vbox-users group ?

vbox-users or vboxusers? I have myself on the second one.

#EDIT: Adding my user to those groups doesn't solve the problem.

It seems that to run virtualbox-ose-2.0.2 on a regular user it is needed to compile it with the flag --disable-hardening.

Hi. I'm the new maintainer of virtualbox-ose and a few others related. Sorry, I did crap with this package. I'm working on it right now. I hope I'll be able to fix all these problems tonight. Don't hesitate to contact a maintainer whenever something goes wrong, it helps a lot to get feedback.

No problem, trying to build but not having much luck at the moment

dninja · 2008-09-21 21:20:20

gcarrier, are you planning to build it with the --disable-hardening flag?

ukognos · 2008-09-22 06:36:37

An update to virtualbox-ose-2.0.2-2 fixed all problems.

Thanks

Hi.

I upgraded, but still can't run my virtual machines, I got the following error:

VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root.
VBox status code: -4 (VERR_INVALID_HANDLE).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {d5a1cbda-f5d7-4824-9afe-d640c94c7dcf}

Of course I loaded the module, and I have writing permissions (to /dev/vboxdrv)... anyone experiencing the same? Maybe I screwed my system while trying to repair 2.0.2-1...

Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Hello,

same problem, modul is loaded, /dev/vboxdrv exists and writing permissions are OK, but I can't start any virtual machine.

I am having the same problem as mitoyarzun and flateric, tried to clean up and reinstall a few times, still not working.

schuay · 2008-09-22 07:56:57

Same here. After upgrading to 2.0.2-2 starting the client works fine but opening a VM only produces that error message.

tachy · 2008-09-22 08:46:05

I'm having the exact same problem.
Any updates on this?

For some reason I don't like running WinXP with root privileges

dninja · 2008-09-22 08:46:52

Assuming the kernel module has changed, have you rebooted or manually removing the kernel module and then restarting it?

It works fine for me when running as root just not as a normal user so I assume that the --disable-hardening wasn't included in the build

zyghom · 2008-09-22 09:49:13

I have no idea what you are talking about: I'm using VB already for long time, recently it is: virtualbox_bin 2.0.2-2 and I'm even happy that module is inside this one packgage - all is working fine here

teMplaryum · 2008-09-22 10:00:19

You obviously haven't read through recent posts. We are talking about the free software version - virtualbox-ose package, not about virtualbox_bin.

moljac024 · 2008-09-22 10:12:34

I'm also having the vboxdrv error.

yes yes, I know
that was my kind of suggestion: go for this package which is workin
and usb is working

dninja · 2008-09-22 10:30:04

Is USB not working a permanent issue with the ose package or is it a temporary or machine specific thing? I haven't tried usb yet.

zyghom · 2008-09-22 10:31:08

AFAIK usb only in closed version
at least it was in 1.x version

dninja · 2008-09-22 10:43:09

Why? Any reason?
