OpenSUSE :: Virtualbox Not Starting?
Jul 28, 2010
So after a series of uninstalling and reinstalling VirtualBox to get the updated version, I was able to get it installed and working but it seemed to be crashing my computer as everytime i walked away for 10 minutes and came back, it would be at the login screen. It never did it while I was on it though so I never saw any errors. Now after a couple days of that... Whenever I start it I get an error:
Failed to create VirtualBox COM object
The application will now terminate.
Could not load the settings file '/home/user/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml'
[code]....

First off I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, if you would like a complete discription of my hardware you can find my lshw > [URL]I seem to have broken my VirtualBox installation, I went from VirtualBox OSE to VirtualBox 3.2 (again 64bit version downloaded from virtualbox.org the about says version 3.2.10 r66523) I tried apt-get purging 3.2 and going back to OSE but it gives me the same error I started getting when I tried installing 3.2 so I have decided to install that again and try and trouble shoot the problem.I get two error windows that pop up when I try and start my windows xp virtualbox, the first says:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-190The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.nd the second says:Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Sierra Designs - XP.The virtual machine 'Sierra*Designs*-*XP' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1.etails:

If I start my VirtualBox on Ubuntu 11.04 it crashes 50% of the time... The whole system hangs, even the music keeps playing the last 2 seconds over and over... I can't find useful information in the Log File Viewer. I'm using seperate X screens, maybe it has something to do with that?

I download "VirtualBox-3.1.2-56127-Linux_amd64.run" and installed it, and got a messages like this " virtualbox have been installed successfully in my system", but when I run virtualbox, I've been told "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" something like that. And I run virtualbox in terminal, got this:
Warning: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (2.6.29.6) or it failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
I run "/etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv start" as a root, got messages like this :
Starting VirtualBox kernel module ...failed!
(modprobe vboxdrv failed.)

I have installed VirtualBox as per the instructions on this site, and the kernel module compiled without problem, however when I start it, it causes the user to logout!
I am using the nvidia module from the ATrpms repo if that has any bearing on the problem.
Has anyone else seen this issue?
Details:
CentOS 5.5 x86_64 running on a Dell Studio XPS 435MT with i7 920 and 6GB of RAM
VirtualBox 4.0.2 from virtualbox repo.
nvidia driver 260.

I have a strange problem with some applications in 10.10. This applies so far to virtualbox and skype. When I try to start them, nothing happens. Virtualbox just flickers the edge of the screen. Virtualbox has worked before, and i'm reluctant to delete it as I have another machine installed. Skype has never worked, and even when I have reinstalled, the same happens.

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.

Today is two out of three boot messages fixed. Working on the third one now, and that relates to virtual machines. The whole Virtual machine thing is new to me. Never used it, but I'd like to start. Therefore, I am no longer willing to just ignore this. The error message during boot is this:
Quote: Starting VirtualBox kernel module [60G[[0;31mFAILED[0;39m] (modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why)

I installed OS11.4 on my old laptop, Compaq Armada E500., 512MB RAM, ATI Rage Mobility. During installation I chose "minimal server" and added some development packages, lxde and a little more. I chose to start in runlevel 3 which is full networking without X. Still, when computer is booted it tries to start Xorg which doesn't work because of some problem w driver. The start-up seems to stop there, it never loads completely - seems most things in runlevel 3 are not started (see below) I can manually login on laptop and fix it - but never permanently, same thing again after reboot.
I have checked /etc/inittab & yast - both states default runlevel is 3. I have checked services to be started both directly, browsing directory /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/, and with YaST, it is very clear X should not load during boot. But, as said, it does.. I don't really care about the driver problem right now, I can fix that later when I have more time. So how do I stop X from getting started automatically?
More info, if needed: The installation also stopped with message on tty1 "Starting YaST2" and tty8 showing errors with graphics driver (mach64). The system seemed to be installed though, so I simply rebooted (issuing "reboot" from tty2).
[Code]....
I'm not completely sure where it stops, network is configured but keyboard is wrong and mysql & everything after is not started, so somewhere between S02network and S06kbd. I'm going to use it as a server for testing purposes so no X is actually needed - however I do want to have X & lxde installed just in case, my Internet connection at home is terribly slow so I need most things I might need in the future installed today.

I was trying to install VirtualBox through the YaST > Software Management but it is not working, someone in the forum told me that I have to download the OSE version and do it manual way. Finally I am able to start up VB but not able to use the network connection. Thus I am trying to do this:
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup. I get this error:
[code]...
When I type dmesg, it shows me a bunch of info which I don't know what should look for. When I type modprobe vboxnetflt, I get the error: FATAL: Error inserting vboxnetflt (/lib/modules/2.6.37.1-1.2-default/updates/vboxnetflt.ko): Invalid module format. what should I do in order to get my VB to be able to connect to the internet?

I have been going through forums and following "how to's" and walkthroughs on how to use VirtualBox to run my Win 7 VM. I have a pre-created VHD that I am importing to my OpenSuse 11.4 machine. One vhd was created in Hyper-V and has hardware and cpu cross compatibility turned on. Everything works perfect when booting it up on my Hyper-V server. When I move it over to my OpenSuse VirtualBox the VM will not boot. It gets to the "Starting Windows" screen and then throws an error screen that the VM encountered errors while booting. It then runs the Window's startup recovery tool and even tried to do a system restore. Nothing works and it never progresses beyond that point. Figuring there was something with the vhd file. I used Acronis Advanced Backup and Recovery to create a non hardware dependent backup that was automatically converted to a vhd. I know the process works as that is how I have converted the bulk of the servers at work into VM's. However, when I move the vhd file to the OpenSuse VirtualBox... it does the same thing.
So I am trying to figure out what might be going on here. Is VirtualBox not able to virtualize Win 7? If not then what VM software should I use? VMWare, Xen, ???

A long time I used the Virtualization:VirtualBox-Repository (which is still suggested in the yast-repository-module) to get the latest version, but the version 3.1.6 is still missing here.I found that this repository will be dropped and instead Virtualization:VirtualBox_backports should be used.But the packages there have two problems:No localization is available, you can just use english.The kernel-modules are just available for Kernel 2.6.31.5 (there is no update-repo for updated kernels)

I tried upgrading today from VirtualBox 3.1 to 3.2 (VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.0_61806_openSUSE111-1.x86_64.rpm) on my openSUSE 11.2 system and it's not cooperating. The installation itself went fine, but as soon as I try to start a guest, the VirtualBox process ramps up to 100% and stays there until I poweroff the guest. The guest itself is VERY slow. These guests worked fine on 3.1.
For example, if I start an openSUSE guest and stop the Grub counter, therefore leaving the screen at the Grub bootloader, the VirtualBox process remains at 100% forever, without any activity on the guest.I also have a Windows guest and it has the same problem.
I can obviously try downgrading again to 3.1, but I was hoping that someone else has run into this issue and knows what to do about it.

I'm trying to update VirtualBox but I'm getting a few problems:
1. When I go into YAST, it doesn't show any other versions available (just 3.0.x)
2. When I download the rpm from the website, I keep getting some insanely long error that says something about NOKEY perhaps? (It's a long error that gets cut off by the screen height)

I currently have vbox 2.0.6 OSE and its been running awesome except I get errors with directx when running 3D apps cause of the video card driver that comes with vbox(at least so far thats I narrowed it down to). So, Im trying to update to 3.2.2 but cant seem to find an easy way to do it. I downloaded the RPM for OpenSUSE 11.1 from Sun's website and when installing it I got errors about files conflicting with the previous version. So I ran a "zypper rm vbox" to remove the current one and then ran the RPM again and it seemed to finish the installation fine, I just cant find it to run it.I currently have the 2.0.6 version installed again just so I can use it... but now am back to trying to get 3.2 installed before looking in another direction.

i have virtualbox installed from the oracle virtualbox repositorie and had trouble with running virtual machines. It was a permission error: VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT
Turns out after some searching that the permission had changed on /usr to
owner:chris and group:vboxusers. Directories inside /usr still belonged to the user root and the group root.
I don't know how much of a security issue this is, but i wanted it to let
you all know just in case it is. I changed /usr again to root:root and all is well again.

I have previously been using VirtualBox on an Ubuntu installation, but have now switched to openSUSE 11.4. I have a .vdi file that I want to continue using and would like to know if it is possible to import this to the (preferred?) hypervisor which appears in the openSUSE System menu, which I assume is XEN.
Never having used XEN,

I just upgrade to KDE 4.3 and it is great release, one problem I have found with it is that The Strigi Desktop File Indexer does not want to start. The error that I get is "Strigi service failed to initialize, most likely due to an installation problem.", does anyone here know if Strigi logs things like this and were? "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure."

Host is x64 openSUSE 11.2
guest is winxp pro
VirtualBox ver 3.0.12
The install and setup of VirtualBox is good and working.
I'm having a perplexing issue with usb devices. I have three usb devices connected to my system - apc battery, sd carder, and a Logitech joystick. All devices work on the host. I can connect the apc and the card reader to the guest and they work perfectly. But not the Logitech joystick. I get this error, same as I've seen in some other threads:
Failed to attach the USB device Logitech Force 3D Pro [0600] to the virtual machine winxp1. Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device. (Error: VERR_READ_ERROR)
under "details" is this:

I installed VirtualBox, and I want to install Vista on it. I just have the copy of vista that came with my computer. I made the back up disks for it, and tried to use them to install it in the virtual box, but it said it was unable to install in that machine.
After that I looked in my windows partition and found the product ID for the vista copy. My question is: Can I download a copy of Vista and then use the product ID of my copy to make the installation in the VirtualBox? Are there any technical or legal reasons not to do this?

VirtualBox is successfully installed on my openSUSE 11.2 and the guest OS is Win XP. I am looking for a way to acomplish two things from the guest OS:-use USB -use internet connection
On the first one, I've run into a howto for openSUSE 11.2 that says usb access for guest OSes in VBox is supported only in the binary (non-free) version. Since I am running the free one, does that mean I am out of luck on usb matter?
On the second one, I am puzzled as well. WinXP image is already installed and I tried to configure its networking via the "settings" section in VBox which gives me several options out of which none is for setting up IP's. How do I get internet connection that openSUSE host already has to share it with the guest OS within VBox?
