Fedora :: Vbox Not Allowing To Install Os From Host CDrom?
May 23, 2011
I have recently installed virtual box on fc14 using add /remove software . However so far i have not been able to install any OS on that. I put the OS CD the cdrom and click on start virtual machine..it gives following errors ..
I have followed the instructions given there but all in vain...
Code:
[root@Fedora Raman]# /etc/sysconfig/modules/VirtualBox-OSE.modules
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vboxdrv
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vboxnetflt
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vboxnetadp
I downloaded and burned the Fedora-13-x86_64-dvd iso to install on my shiny new box (MSI NF980-G65 MB, AMD Phenom II x4 945 CPU, 8GB Corsair DDR3 memory, generic ATAPI DVD drive, 2 500GB SATA drives, 2 1.5TB SATA drives). I boot from the DVD and and take the default install/upgrade option on the menu. I've tried with the default boot options and with about a dozen different options, all give the the same thing.
Looking console 3, shows the following:
ERROR loader: removing ddmode.conf failed ERROR loader: got to setupCdrom without a CD device
It can't find the CD/DVD drive that it booted from. The install on console 1 is prompting for a driver to load. Do I need to download a driver for a generic ATAPI/IDE CD/DVD drive?
I'm running Fedora 14, with a SATA interface CD/DVD drive and I'm attempting to run an installation script on a CD for an embedded Linux learning kit.Logged in as root (su), I receive:bash : /media/EmbeddedLinux/install_tools Permission DeniedI have searched and see similar situations on the web, but not exactly the same.I cannot resolve this issue using chmod, and find no relevant exec rights set in /etc/fstab.Using mount I find the (automounted) CD drive on /dev/sr0.I've searched quite a bit but never could find the thread that was supposedly listed in this forum.I understand that I should be able to copy the contents of the folder to my machine, then execute, but if possible I would prefer to address the real cause, not go around it.Also, where on earth will I find the location of whatever is affecting the ability to execute from an automounted media?
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 (the guest) in VBox 3.2.4 which is running in Vista (in a dual core AMD Athlon). Ubuntu works okay except the screen size is one-quarter of the space available on the 22" widescreen monitor. I read that installing BoxAdditions_3.2.4_62467 can solve the problem. When I run the terminal command (using the appropriate file) sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run I get an error message --> sh: Can't open .VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run
I have a distro-neutral VirtualBox shell install: VirtualBox-xxx.run
you type: sh VirtualBox-xxx.run install
this goes through but the screen says "could not compile the kernel module vboxdrv.ko, see the install log"
the install log in /var/log says this:
test -e include/linux/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf
echo " ERROR KErnel configuration is invalid echo " include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing echo " run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it"
ok, I've left out a bunch of stuff but, NO these 2 files are NOT missing. I have all the required compile-type packages and the source and headers. Under /usr/src there are :
1: /linux-2.6.31.12-0.2 2: /linux-2.6.31.12-0.2-obj 3: /linux/obj 4: linux
num 4 is a symbolic which points to 1:. num 3 has a sub-dir /i386/default which links to the /default in 2:
the supposed missing files are in sub-dir in 2:
This is what I did. I changed num 4: to point to 2:, deleted all the vbox stuff and re-tried install - still same result.
I reset num 4: to point to 1: and did the "make oldconfig && make prepare". This put new sub-dir entries under 1: with the 2 files in correct sub-dirs. Delete vbox and try re-install - still same result.
Some things I left out of the error log at the start show that the install's use of "make" relates to both dirs 1: and 2: so even with both having the files the install is still barfing.
Perhaps related to this, at the log end there are errors about the /tmp/vbox and some SUPdrv.c files.
I looked in the forums and there are suggestions wrt errors about these missing files that the fault lies with kernels 2.6.33 which puts these missing files in a different named sub-dir - /generated. Well as you see above, kernel is a 2.6.31
There's supposed to be a command line option for the shell install where you add " -- xxxxx " where xxxxx is extra instructions. I tried to put definitive pointers to the sub-dirs involved there but not successful.
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 in VBOX on a Windows 7 host. I have a Nvidia Geforce 9600 gt graphics card. I would really like to get Compiz Fusion desktop effects working on it. Is this possible? I have read some threads where people have ultimately found out that the VBox guest addition drivers are not compatible. How can I determine if mine is going to work?
I Just loaded 11.2 64 bit, initially the kernel was "default", however, after I installed my Nvidia drivers it changed to desktop, I'm not sure I understand? In GRUB my screen lists it as desktop. Is "default" somewhere? Was it replaced? Things seem to be working alright in most cases although I'm having inordinate problems with "virtual Box" and Vmware server. In Vbox the kernel module won't start.
Ok, so i just got fedora 12 all set up in Virtual Box and got the guest additions and stuff so i can have max screen res. I went to set up compiz following this site (google Using Compiz on Fedora 12 as Linux Guest in VirtualBox) installed dkms, rebooted and now after it loads the bar at the bottom that says fedora 12, it gives a blank black screen with a solid white line at the top like a c prompt curser. Whats the deal here? did dkms break my install or something? Its on a vm so no big loss but id still like to know.
I'm running SuSE 11.3 with GNOME. I've just enabled the desktop effects, & then it crashed back to the login screen. Now every time I try to login, the screen goes black & crashes back to the login screen again. I just want to get the desktop effects turned off & switch it back to standard settings...actually this setting is done in root user so i must hv to open it...i tried using FailSafe but after login it doesn't crash back to login screen bt screen also doesn't show anything it stays a WHITE high bright Screen...i just started using linux distributions so please help me by giving solution in detail.runtime level is 5 at login time i also tried it with 3.
I just installed a Puppy Linux 5.1 to a VirtualBox VM and selected hardware virtualization. It installed ok and then later I noticed I had not unloaded the kvm and kvm_intel modules. I was then surprised to notice the vbox modules were also loaded. It used to be you had to kick out the kvm modules before you could even boot a VM in VirtualBox using SVM or VT-X. If you didn't you'd get some error message in Vbox have to quit and restart it after removed the kvm modules.
Is this a neat new functionality of VirtualBox or something that was improved in Fedora?
I have Fedora configured using XP and VBox. I am now out of space. As anyone run into this issue? What do you recommend that I do to transfer my current Fedora contents to a new virtual file?
I just installed a test Natty VirtualBox server from the "mini" iso. After doing that the normal boot always ends with a blank screen and cannot login. The recovery boot option does work normally. After much digging around and various tests I found that the "splash quiet" boot options cause this issue.
I removed them from the /etc/defaults/grub file and ran update-grub. Next boot the login screen came up after as normal. It seems when the splash flashes that purple screen with the Ubuntu 11.04 message it is breaking something and does not get back out of some graphics mode.
This is in a VirtualBox window and I noticed that vesa framebuffers seem to be used by default in grub now. I never had this issue in previous releases and I'm just wondering if others have seen this and if there is a better fix than disabling splash. I don't mind having it disabled as this is a server install anyway and I'm fine with seeing debug messages during boot. If other have seen this then perhaps it needs to be logged as a bug?
When I am trying to install VLC in my fedora14, I got the following messages "couldn't connect to host". What may be the reason? I reduced the address due to the tech problems.
I have a non-super user on my box which I'd like to give it MOUNT and UMOUNT permissions but I don't know how.For example purposes, the user name is "USER".I don't want to make it into a SuperUser, just give it rights to be able to issue the MOUNT and UMOUNT commands at the terminal.
The 640 x 480 video display on my FC12 guest is driving me nuts! The VBox Guest Additions are installed. How do I get FC12 to recognize the VBox video driver?
Extra information:
Auto resize works great on my Windows guests. On FC12, I just get a lot of extra white space.
FC12's installer does not detect a video card. You have to use the stand display option (second one down) to get FC12 to go into a full graphical installer. If you use the regular install, hoping to do a graphical install, FC 12 only install the bare basics. No video support. You get what looks like a rescue cd. No Gnone, no X etc.
I do believe that FC12 has no idea that the VBox's fake video adapter even exists.
I've built a new kernel (2.6.34) on our workstation at work. It boots and runs beautifully, but there is one minor problem. I created the kernel as a Debian package along with the kernel headers. Upon installing both and attempting to build the nVidia driver for said kernel, the installer tells me that it cannot determine the version and quits. This happens even if I manually specify the path to the headers. What's going on here, did I miss something during my compilation of the new kernel?
1. I use RHEL5 (SERVER X) in which samba is running. This is an IBM hardware on which the vender is not allowing me to install any hardware other than IBM parts.
2. I have another P4 system on which Fedora Core 11 (SERVER Y) is running. I had connected 300GB SCSI HDD and created necessary partitions.
Now I want to mount few of the volumes of SERVER Y on SERVER X and allow users (samba clients) to access the volumes as folders as any other volumes in SERVER X through samba. I mounted one volume of SERVER Y in SERVER X using NFS mounting and shared through samba. The problem, I am facing, is it is very slow.
I have install windows XP and Fedora-14-X86_64 on dual boot, I want to run other OS on fedora by using Virtual machine. I have download and installed VirtaulBox-4.0.0 successfully but I cannot able to start it. I got error about Vbox driver not installed [error code:1908]. I have also installed DKMS package, but also didn't work.
Finally I found the actual problem was kernel not compatible with latest version of vbox and I need to update my kernel-headers. I also meet that solution by using command: yum install binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-devel and its work fine, this command download and install the kernel compatible VirtualBox-3.2.* and now its works fine.
But problem is that when I booting my PC, it shows 3 options for entering OS rather then 2. 1. Fedora-14 (2.6.35.10.74.X86_64) [which is new one/updated after using that command] 2. Fedora-14 (2.6.35.6.45fc14.X86_64) [which is new one/updated after using that command] 3. Other [windows XP] How can i delete that old version- No.2?
i've got a few questions about iptables. i know how to set up ip tables to only allow from an ip address or a subnetting ip addresses. question is how do i allow from 2 different networks? would i need to create 2 lines of entry in iptables to the same port? e: allow 10.168.1.1 and 196.168.1.1 on port 22 is there a way to put all that in 1 line or would i need to create to rules for the port? i know i can use the ssh allow or deny but i'd like to stop access even before it gets to the ssh. stop it at the source kinda thing.
I'm using the Java Service Wrapper to create a service in Linux. This Java Application has no main GUI, but if certain error message occur then it displays a warning box allowing the user to know. If I log into root and install the application everything works fine. But, if I log into a none root user graphically and then do a su - to get to root the service will not start. This is the command I'm using inside the service (/etc/init.d/rc.d/backup) to start the application
I want to ask about securing the FTP connection... I have one server that Installed with Redhat Linux Fedora 6.
And now, i want to securing the FTP access, so only the selected IP will be allowed to connect. Do anyone know how to do this?
Another thing is, my server using Webmin 1.3 to manage the server and there not installed / not configured yet with Frox FTP, ProFTPD Server, WU-FTP Server... even there is such thing in my Webmin...
Can i make use one of the three FTP i mention above, and if yes, will it be affecting the current FTP access?
How would like to allow a user to run command such as mount fdisk and lspci which normally you would have to be root to do. How would i go about doing this.
I have Fedora 10 set up as a server. Occasionally it will stop allowing connections, such as ssh, http, and samba. This continues until someone hits a key on the keyboard, and then it seems to come back to life and accept connections. At this point, the date and time will be wrong. Judging from monit messages that inform me when it stops allowing connections, I think the time freezes at whatever time it is when it stops allowing said connections.
Power Management has it set for the computer to never turn off. Sleep mode is also disabled in the BIOS.
I thought it was possibly the CMOS battery, but that has been replaced and the issue persists.
Someone previously thought it might have been Network Manager, but that is disabled due to issues it has with a static IP.
I finally got magicjack working under a winxp running on a vbox. But somehow I have to login as root and run the vbox as root. otherwise if I run the vbox as a normal user, I cannot mount the magicjack usb device, it appears as a grey disabled box. I am sure this is some kind of permission issue, but not sure how to grant the permission.
