VirtualBox?....

[VcDeveloper1]

I just install openSUSE and all the updates completed. My problem is I installed VirtualBox OSE, but when I tried to execute it nothing happens. I see the tab show on the Panel, but a moment later is disappears.

Can anyone help me out in solving this or do I need to uninstall it and download it from the VB website itself?

Also I did install the Hypervisory and Tools before I installed VB, which bring me to this question. Do I need this tools, because it seems to be not be working properly because I can create a VM. And that is why I install VB. Could it not be working be of Hyper-V and Tools?

Thanks for your help!...

Uninstall the one you have and install the rpm or source code from the VB website and you'll never have that problem again.

You'll need to install pam-devel first.

Don't know about the other stuff.

Thanks! I uninstalled the Hyper-V & Tools also. The download version worked!

Well, I was able to install 3.0.10, but can't start the VM. Went to the VB forum and found others are having the same problem. What is the reason why the bundled VB is not working and can it be fixed?

I'll give these a try.....

I heard that people that had problems with version 3.0.10 had success with older versions.

Download_Old_Builds_3_0 - VirtualBox

Also if you're getting any error messages please post them.

Awh Thanks chief! that helped, I'm now installed with the 3.0.8 version from the repository. Took me while to understand the interface, but now I know how to keep my Suse updated.

But, as I was learning about the system I fooled around with the the mouse settings and lost my wheel action. I have "MS Wheel Mouse Optical USB" and it was working fine.

How can I set my mouse settings back to the installed defaults? I feel handicapped without it.

And Thanks for everyone else for your help also!
