Did it ever work for you? Is this the first try at it? Each time I had a problem, either I forgot to add myself to vboxusers (which you did) or I didn't start vboxdrv (not the setup).
Anyway, since its not working now, why not uninstall it? Then go to virtualbox.org and follow the links to download the latest version (2.0.4) and install that one. I just updated to that version and its working fine. Oh! I keep getting an error message about usb. I just click "ok" and continue loading and usb works fine. I have been fooling around with my 11.1 beta installs and now virtualbox brings up the boot screen twice before it actually loads beta3. An annoyance, but one I'm sure I caused and can live with. |

Thanks Prexy,
It has never worked, been toiling away at it since yesterday. I do have the latest one (2.0.4). Heeter

you need the kernel sources if you have compiled it by yourself. In pronciple you can add a repo
Index of /repositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox and install the opensource version. Alin

Sorry the board has no no delete function.
I am posting on another post but for some reason it jumps to this thread. The only thing I can do is to edit. Sorry folks for the inconvenience.

Are you using this repo
Index of /repositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox/openSUSE_11.0 and you have gone thru all the steps here VirtualBox Installation - openSUSE Note: Prerequisites for VirtualBox downloads Whether you use binaries or installing from source you have to install the following packages first:
And the following: Post-Installation Though VirtualBox will start after you've just installed it, there are a few other necessary steps to complete before you can really get the most out of VirtualBox. These include:
modprobe vboxdrv
Or open YaST -> Security and Users -> UserManagement, and edit your user and add them to the vboxusers group. To do this, select your user name, click on Edit, switch to the Details tab and check the vboxusers check box. You should then be able to run VirtualBox just fine! [edit] Getting vboxdrv module to auto load (openSUSE OSE package only) The version of VirtualBox OSE provided in the openSUSE OSS repo comes with its own kernel module so the vboxdrv setup command does not add this. It also does not set up the kernel module to auto load at system start up, if this is how you like it then ignore this section and have fun. This can be done by one of three ways:
No matter which way you go with this will get the vboxdrv kernel module to auto load on boot of the system.

Thanks Caf,
It is still not responding. I can startup the GUI, but cannot start up a virtual machine. I have done everything that you noted....... I also typed into konsole: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup and I am still getting this: Code:
Stopping VirtualBox kernel module done Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module, NOT. It has been packaged. done Starting VirtualBox kernel module failed (No suitable module for running kernel found) Heeter

A re-boot may sort it. Let us know.
I used to use the above repo, then I switched to the Sun .rpm I just deleted vbox from the repo in Yast then installed the .rpm from a terminal. But it was all working for me anyway. But might be worth a try.

Hey Thanks Caf,
I messed around with it until this morning. I have given up and removed all virtualbox stuff, and installed VMware server. I got that up and running no problem. Thanks again guys, I will work with vmware server instead for now. Heeter
