Fedora :: Can't Run VirtualBox After System Upate / Fix It?
Nov 1, 2010
I am running Fedora 12 on an Intel Core 2 Duo system.
I ran a software update which installed a new kernel (2.6.32.23-170.fc12.i686.PAE) along with many other things.
I am now unable to run VirtualBox which I had installed and running successfully before the update.
I tried removing and reinstalling VirtualBox from YUMEX, and rebooting. This did not help.
When I launch VirtualBox from a terminal, it produces the following output:
VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: VBoxVMM.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I'm not sure what it is complaining about. The files VirtualBox.so and VBoxVMM.so both exist in the /usr/lib/virtualbox directory.
What can be done to get VirtualBox working again on this system?

It generally works fine - a couple of issues which I'm trying to get resolved elsewhere.My question is this: My laptop currently dual-boots Windows 7 and openSUSE, with openSUSE being the default. I have XP as a guest under VB. Is it possible for me to create a system image of the Windows 7 operating system, install W7 as a guest under Linux and then restore the backed-up OS so that I would have W7 as a guest (no more XP) but with the same configuration / apps as the original OS?In summary, this is wat I want to achieve:urrent:Dual-boot openSUSE 11.1 & Windows 7VBOx Guest = Windows XP Desired:Dual-boot openSUSE 11.1 & Windows 7VBox Guest = Windows 7 (identical config as the dual-boot version)

I'm trying to use VirtualBox on a 64 bit host (Fedora 12), and install a 64 bit suse guest. I have VirtualBox installed just fine on the host, but when I try to launch the guest (booting from an iso) I get the message "This is a 32-bit computer. You cannot use 64-bit software on it". One thing to note, this host, while 64 bit, does not have the AMD-V extensions. (Not sure if this matters or not). I do however have another 64 bit host with the AMD-V extensions that runs a 64 bit guest just fine.
I confirmed `uname -m` on the host reports "x86_64". I also did a `file /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox` just to make sure I got the 64 bit version of VirtualBox Any ideas on why the guest os would think the host is 32 bit when it should be a 64 bit system?

I use ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop pc and i have on my laptop installed Windows XP with Office 2007. The office suite has been activated for the third and last time, because windows crashed on me twice before, prompting my move to linux. while this third activation of office is still working i was wondering if there was some way to salvage this activation, so i don't lose it should it fail, which it most likely will at some point in the future. i was thinking if there was a software that could copy an already installed operating system and turn it into a virtual machine. That software would of course have to run in an windows environment.
I know i can use openoffice, and i do. Its great to get things done quickly, but my college course is specific to office 2007, and i have to memorise the interface to be able to write up procedures from memory.I'm not sure but xp is probably very hardware specific so as long as i run that virtual machine on my laptop with a linux distro i should be fine.

After installing VirtualBox, add yourself to the Vboxusers group in System -> Administration -> Users and Groups.Then re-boot your computer!Otherwise you will spend hours (like me) wondering why your USB devices are not available in your guest VM.I just did a complete install on a new, larger hard drive and had forgotten this simple fact. Doh!

Observed on two host systems both with openSUSE 11.3 32 bit using ext4: When a big files, in this case a 1.2 GB and a 1.7 GB is copied from DVD, usb harddrive or shared folder into a Windows 7 32 bit guest system, the copied file is corrupted. The md5sum has changed and until the guest system has been rebooted successive md5sum tests on the same file comes up with various results... After a reboot md5sum tests show consistent results, but a sum different from the original file.

So I decided to build a server using two HDDs and after checking the net I decided to go with Software RAID.Before I mess around and go ahead and buy two 500 GB HDD, I decided to try it out first in virtual box.(my system is F13 64bit with 4GB)
I set up a virtual machine with 2 X 10GB HDD.Mount the live CD (f13 32bit).Run regular install > choose custom layout and do as follows: SDA & SDB will both have Software RAID 500 MB and another software RAID of about 9500 MB I will have md0 /boot (sda1 & sda2 = 500 MB) And another md0 having LVM group loaded with / + SWAP I choose to install boot loader on md0 the first time and I receive the following error when I boot from HDD: FATAL: INT18: BOOT FAILURE I tried installing boot loader on sda same thing.

I am using Fedora 14 x86_64 as the host and Windows XP under VirtualBox 4.0.4. I have added two ports (TCP and UDP) to the firewall settings in 'other ports' in the Fedora firewall setings. Do i need to do this?I noticed the port forwarding option in the Fedora's firewall settings which asks for either the ports to be forwarded to either local or an ip address. Do i need to do anything here?
In the settings under VirtualBox under Network adapter 1 (which is enabled) and attached to NAT, there is a port forwarding option in the advanced settings. Can the host and the guest port be the same number? If i use 'open port checker' to check if the tcp port is open in windows xp, will it work as it does in firefox under Fedora?

I've been trying to get a converted virtual disk running in VirtualBox for the past several days. The VM begins to boot in a window but never gets past a black field. Until today the title bar would always change from "running" to "suspended" and just hang there. Now it just keeps saying "running" but never boots so I'm thinking the virtual disk may have become corrupted from repeated shutdowns without ever booting.
The User Manual at VirtualBox.org is of little help since it appears to assume you're using their packages. They also make references to utilities or scripts like "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv" that aren't even in the latest version so I think it hasn't been updated in a while.
There doesn't appear to be many hints in the Vbox.log either - couldn't find a way to get more verbose logging. Until now I'd get to this point and it wouldn't change until I shut it down:
I'm guessing the reason for the suspension was the message immediately above the notice. Now I just see the "unmapped device" message and the guest window says "running" indefinitely. I've attached copies of logs from a couple of sessions, one where it suspends itself (a vnc session) and another where it just stays running (a console session). Some googling suggested that the "unmapped device" message implies it can't find the boot drive or the boot sector on the virtual disk.
The host is normally accessed through a VNC session to a virtual console but VBox log messages indicate that it cannot determine the keyboard type when accessed this way so I now have to physically sit at the native console. If anyone knows of a way to overcome this limitation I'm all ears.
People don't usually respond to my threads so I'm basically talking to myself outloud here. I'll read it again later an maybe come up with something else to try. For now I'm going to remove all the VBox packages and re-install them, starting from scratch. If that doesn't get it working I'll delete the converted virtual disk and re-convert it from the original. If I still can't get VBox working after that I'll be forced to install VMware Server (resource hog). I'm getting desperate now...
[Background] Until a few weeks ago we were happily using qemu-kvm but encountered a bug when using the "-smb" argument after updating the host from Fedora 9 to 12. (re: F12: qemu-kvm with -smb hangs then dies) In an attempt to get our virtualized MS Windows Server 2003 back up and running I installed VirtualBox-OSE-3.0.10-1.fc12.x86_64 and friends over the Christmas break. I converted the qemu qcow2 image to raw then to vdi format using qemu-img and VBoxManage tools. There were no errors during the install of VirtualBox. In the beginning Bug Buddy notified of a crash whenever we started up VBox but after some digging and experimenting I believe the crashes were caused by running VBox in a VNC session instead of at the console. I haven't seen a crash when starting it in a native console session. Unfortunately, this means I can do very little remotely.

What is the best way to do this..and should it work well with F13? Can it be done with yum? I read here that you need to install Qt first but am not clear if that is really a requirement or if that can be done with yum as well:[URL]Are there any other installation requirements necessary? I saw posts mentioning specific kernel versions and deleting old kernels.... looking for the safest and simplest way to set this up

I am running Fedora 13, I have installed virtual box that is running Windows 7. I am attempting to run a few star wars video games. Everything works in the virtual machine however it doesn't see any 3D hardware therefore not letting me run these games. I had W7 installed on the computer before and I love fedora and I don't want to dual boot. Is there anyway that anyone knows how to get this working or is there another program that can run a virtual machine for me? Quick update, I installed somethings using the Device menu and Install Guest Additions. That go some mouse and a better video resolution to work however, when using dxdiag in Windows 7, it says that the 3D Acceleration is unavailable. In the settings I have 3D accelration enabled of course.

I am running Fedora 13 and have VirtualBox 3.2 installed. I see in yum list that VirtualBox-4.0.i686 is available but apparently I do not get updated to this version running yum update. How can I update to VirtualBox-4.0.i686 ? I uninstalled 3.2 and simply installed 4.02 and everything worked fine. Previous virtual machines are compatible and still work as before.

I'm on Fedora 14 and tried to install virtualbox using yum install virtualbox It seemed to install but wouldn't run and I got messages saying there was an issue with it not recognising the kernel. I used the Add/Remove software function and added the right kernel but on reboot it didn't complete the boot up process. I get as far as the loading progress bar being fully loaded but don't get to the login screen I've tried loading earlier kernels to no avail - the same issue.
I can access the install via my live CD but I'm not that experienced a user and how to proceed. My guess is I need to remove all the Virtualbox components but I don't know how from where I am.

I've got a problem with getting my VPN connection from my virtual machine working (a XP64 running in VirtualBox). I really need to get it working so that I can nuke my windows partition, and because I would like run linux programs while using my XP VPN connection (as I need to run some XP programs at school). I've found this manual on how to do it on Ubuntu, but I am doubt about how to translate it to Fedora (and I really prefer Fedora). [URL]

I wanted to try VirtualBox so I did:
Code:
yum install vboxgtk
In the list of dependencies I found that it needs to download kernel. I was just curious to know that why can't it manage with the PAE kernel. It requires the kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12 whereas I've got its PAE version working right now. Can someone please explain why is it so?

When I install the latest F12 kernel, my F12 installation freezes immediately on boot. The previous kernel booted fine. It's a little strange, because if I edit the grub.conf to use the old kernel, the freeze still occurs.Is anyone getting Kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.22 to work in virtualbox? (both yes and no answers would be useful here)Does anyone have any idea of the cause (and especially, why updating the kernel would cause the _old_ kernel to freeze as well)

I am trying to take a look at Fedora for the 1st time and usually like to have a good tryout of a distro in VirtualBox.
Firstly, the live cd image boots up fine and seems to work ok except for a Kernel crash at the beginning of the gnome session, but it does enable basic usage within the live system.
But, when trying to do an actual hd install (still within VBox) Fedora 14 just keeps on crashing the VBox??, every install attempt just aborts, I have given the virtual machine a 20gb virtual hd, 2gb ram, 128mb video ram and have not applied any "unusual" extra settings. All versions of Ubuntu, Mint and PCLinuxOS work flawlessly within VBox.
Has anyone else tried installing into VirtualBox here?? (not just running the live environment)
I've wasted a good few hours with this, is it just that some distros dont like VirtualBox or is this indicative of what Fedora would be like on a real non virtual install??
ps, I have the latest VirtualBox fully updated and a flawless host (Mint 9), and perhaps I should add that I'm not a Linux expert and have only been using Linux for just under a year now.

I migrated a few VirtualBox vdi's to a new laptop. My Windows XP and 7 virtual hard drives imported nicely when I created and started the guests; however, Fedora bombs as soon as the boot progress bar completes. I get this error message: VirtualBox GUI has stopped working.
