I have just newly installed Ubuntu10.10 on my laptop and am attempting to install VirtualBox 3.2.10. Everything has been going fine until I run the apt-get install command. The results are as follows:

So recently I've been exploring my options in terms of a desktop environment. trying out different options (Blackbox, Enlightenment ect..) and somehow in the process i managed to uninstall Gnome.
Normally I would just re-install it but whenever I try I get this:

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?
I'm trying to install the driver for my printer, from a repo at Kyoto University. Did it before on other distros (Etch, Lenny,...). One of the three packages has an unmet dependency, libcupsys2-gntls..... (or something- doesn't matter, it's long gone). I expected to be able to use the -d option in apt-get to download it, and unpack it by hand, and place the vital parts in the right positions manually. Done that before, somehow, not necessarily this way. But apt-get won't let me download it, because of the unmet dependency.
Is apt-get really that stupid? If I only want to download it, why does it matter if there is an unmet (and, these days, unmeetable) dependency? Could I download it some other way? I've looked at Aptitude, and can't make head nor tail of it. Synaptic? Have I got the command right? #apt-get -d install package. EDIT: Tried #apt-get install -d package. Also apt-get --download-only --force-yes package. Or I could be really subversive, and copy the two essential files across from my Puppy system. Puppy didn't notice that this lib was missing, just got on with it. Funny old world, isn't it?
I was able to do this before but, I can't remember where I found the link.I think is was a script or something. It would get all the files that the .Deb will need and make an installer.
P.S. I have Ubuntu 64-bit the PC that need the install is a 32-bit both are 10.04.

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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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 just had a look on the Virtualbox site and thus far there is no listing for a Lucid specific release.Can I use the Karmic release or is this going to cause problems? I don't want to use the Ubuntu OSE version because I need USB support.
