Ubuntu :: Unable To Start 10.10 Under VirtualBox In WinXP / Enable It?

Feb 16, 2011

I can't get Ubuntu v10.10 to start on VirtualBox running under Windows XP. The installation wen smoothly. However when I try to start the machine what I see is a mere black screen... The boot order is fine. However it seems strange that no data is read from the virtual hard drive (which is about 2.15 GB):

What should I do ?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Unable To Start VirtualBox Kernel Modules - Error Stopping VirtualBox Kernel Modules

Mar 23, 2011

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?

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - Installing WinXP In VirtualBox

May 5, 2010

I'm using ubuntu 10.04 (upgraded from 9.10) and I've also got my WinXP Toshiba Rescue CD which i'd like to install in VirtualBox but it just won't go past the 'unpacking' part. When it says that it's completed, the only option i have is clicking OK. Doing that just shuts down the VM then. And when I restart the VM, it just does the unpacking step all over again. Last year when I had a dual boot system (XP and ubuntu 8.10 i think it was), the installation went fine until I realized that my ubuntu partition was way too small. So I could not install XP in a VM. But it still got to the actual windows installation step. I'm still using the same PC the rescue CD came with.

Fedora Servers :: Unable A Virtualbox Guest To Start At Boot?

Mar 27, 2010

Can anyone help me with how to create an init.d script that will startup a vm machine in virtualbox at boot? I found this script:[URL]..But it is for ubuntu. I am running fedora 12 x386 and using it as an Amahi server. Very cool, but it would be extra cool if I had a virtual windows machine startup when I booted up this server. Then I could just rdp into it when I needed something in windows.

Ubuntu :: Running WinXP Programs In VirtualBox?

Jun 5, 2010

Everything works fine; No problems running WinXP from an ISO, etc. I have several Windows only applications which I want to run on the WinXP VM. I cannot see the programs I have downloaded when using Explorer for Windows.Ordinarily, in a WinXP only system, I just find the program to be installed and double click on it to start the automatic installation routine.In this case, I cannot see any of the .exe files used for the install.I have placed those downloaded Windows application in the same directory on my Ubuntu Box as where VirtualBox, the Sun Guest Editions and the CD Image of the Garmin Trip and Map system.I installed the Garmin system directly from and ISO of the CD I made using Brasero. It works without a hitch.Should I take the Windows e.e programs and burn them to a CD and then transfer them as ISO tback to the VM drive?

I'm using the Virtual box on Ubuntu which has Windows XP on it.

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Won't Start WinXP / Make It Possible?

Jun 25, 2010

Here's today's problem: I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 and hope to have it run alongside Win XP PRO, which it had for months.

Only, when I select WinXP in GRUB, nothing happens. Oh the screen goes dark for a few seconds, but then the GRUB screen reappears. Ubuntu 10.04 functions correctly.

here are the contents of what I assume is grub.cfg code...

What I need to know is how to make GRUB load WinXP.

I have ubuntu 8.10 & Windows XP installed on my PC. I formatted the C: partition and installed a new fresh copy of Win XP. After that I was not able to login to ubuntu 8.10.

I am running Lucid Lynx kernel 2.6.32.24. Soon after the latest kernel update I noticed that Virtualbox would not launch when I clicked on the icon.

There are no errors just a few blinks of the hard drive indicator and nothing. Is there anyone out there that has seen this same issue?

Fedora Installation :: Enable Usb Support Virtualbox Fedora10

Jan 28, 2009

trying to understand the two underlined sentences below I got to ask Step by step. I created a new group called usb. I inserted a usb printer and scanner. I tried to find the file usbfs and there is where get stuck already. I only can find a folder with that name. The sentence (3 -) makes almost no sense to me.

a) modify file /etc/fstab clear open terminal, go to etc, su gedit fstab

b) inserting a line yes I understand that!

c) the right path and the number corresponding the "usb" group :

none /sys/bus/usb/drivers usbfs devgid=503,devmode=664 0 0

2 - locate file usbfs: in my case is /sys/bus/usb/drivers (I suggest to find the file with a usb device inserted;

3 - modify file /etc/fstab inserting a line containing the right path and the number corresponding the "usb" group :

none /sys/bus/usb/drivers usbfs devgid=503,devmode=664 0 0

Ubuntu Installation :: Dual Boot Remix With WinXP Now WinXP BSOD On Boot?

Sep 12, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu Remix 10.04 on my wifes MSI U100 netbook. I did a dual boot just in case she had to get into Windows for something. I let the install automatically partion (did the side by side option). Anyway, Ubuntu works fine and imported all her documents and stuff. Problem is Windows XP won't boot. The first time I tried to boot Windows XP I got a message saying the hardware had changed and I had to select safe mode, normal boot, last known good, etc... I booted normally. I got the splash screen followed by a quick flash of BSOD and a reboot. I does this no matter how I try to boot Windows (safe, command prompt, etc). Anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Slackware :: Can't Start 13.37 On VirtualBox 4.0.6

May 7, 2011

Actually, Slack64 runs just fine under VirtualBox on my old HP under WinXP, But the installer for Slack86 won't boot under VirtualBox on my Toshiba Netbook under Win7 starter. I tried updating the 13.1 install I have on there, but I get the same kernel panic when I try to reboot that. It always bails just as it is switching over to the new kernel. The dump fills my screen so I can't see the actual error. How can I capture that initial startup log? Slack86 runs just fine on my old Compac Armada 1700 (266PII 92M/12G), but that's a very different environment.

Ubuntu Installation :: VirtualBox & Wine Won't Start At All - No Error Msgs

Apr 1, 2011

Trying to run windows only apps. I installed Wine first from software center. Most progs I try to run only give me the 'working' icon for 20 seconds then nothing. I did modify properties to allow .exe to run. I Dl'ed & installed the VirtualBox package w sw center and same deal- nothing. No error messages or anythng.

Running Ubuntu maverick. My Cpu is a compaq presario laptop CQ50, dual core intel T3200. Not the best but should at least start the progs yes?

Can't really troubleshoot as I have no feedback at all.

Fedora :: Start A Virtual Machine In VirtualBox?

Jul 4, 2010

Every time I try to start a virtual machine in VirtualBox I get this error:

Code:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) The 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. So I run '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' in the terminal as root and I get this:

OpenSUSE :: Virtualbox Can't Start - Vboxdrv Not Loaded

Mar 24, 2010

Recently I had updated the kernel but afterwards I can't run virtualbox because the kernel modules aren't loaded.

Virtual box: 3.1.4 r57640 OpenSuse110-x86_64 Open Suse 11.0 running kernel-default-2.6.25.20-0.7

When I try to start vboxdrv manually I can find the message: kernel: warning: `VirtualBox' uses deprecated v2 capabilities in a way that may be insecure.

After I installed the older kernel-default-2.6.25.20-0.6 version I can start virtualbox.

But, much to my suprise, I also get this message with this kernel level. But still, the kerneldrivers are loaded and I can run virtualbox.
