I installed 3.0.10 X86_64 version yesterday from Sun site. Then installed
Win XP with no problem, added guest additions and all appear to work. Still
need to do on line update of XP. I tried Win 7 on my 11.1 installation (Vbox
..08} but it will not load. Apparently you have to have the Intel VT
technology in the BIOS, CPU and Motherboard for VirtualBox to be able to
handle a 64 bit guest. My year old system does not have that. I wonder if
Wine requires that?

Hi
The vt capable cpu would only be required if your running Xen, I'm using
vmware workstation and win7 Rc runs fine. Would expect vbox to be the
same....

Thanks! I could find the right setting, so I set it to Auto-Generic, re-boot and it's working fine now!

...., but now I need help with something else.., what is the .ICEaurority, because after I copy some files from my zip file on my NTFS drive I've been getting a msg saying to check if my dcopserver is running?

what is that and how can I correct this?

Hi
Sounds like ownership issues.... is the ~/.ICEauthority owned by your
username and users group with permissions rw (600)?

Win 7 again on this new version of VBox. The info says the VT technology was
required came from the Sun Vbox site.

Thanks for the reply! I did a search on google and found I could delete both the root and home/user .ICEauthority and reboot. Everything is ok so far.. next time I will just unzip the file to my Doc's folder instead of draging it from the zip manager.

Hi
That change was made if your system is already running it (and
others) and want to use XP compatibility mode

Hi everyone! Need help with installing the guest Additions. Keeps asking me to install the Build & Headers files for my version.

I both installed pam-devel and the virtual-kmp packages. So I don't trash my guest install, what packages do I need to install to get this to work?

Also note: I install the pae version of Suse also.

You need kernel-source, make, gcc, linux-kernel-headers

kernel-source must match your kernel. Eg for me:

rpm --query --all '*kernel*'
kernel-source-2.6.31.5-0.1.1.noarch
linux-kernel-headers-2.6.31-3.4.noarch
kernel-default-2.6.31.5-0.1.1.i586
kernel-firmware-20090821-4.1.noarch

Thanks! That did it..., appreciate your help!
