Can't install Virtualbox Guest Additions on opensuse 12.1 [Windows 7 host]
Hi,
I'm desperately trying to install the guest additions on a 12.1 guest. I had the same problem exposed in the topic:
http://forums.opensuse.org/english/g...additions.html
So I followed the solution explained there (install Base Dev, Linux Kernel Dev and C/C++ Dev) but I still have the same problem:
Code:
sudo /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.1.12_77245/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
root's password:

Uncompressing VirtualBox 4.1.12 Guest Additions for Linux.........

Removing existing VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules done
Removing existing VirtualBox non-DKMS kernel modules done
Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules
The headers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following
module compilation fails then this could be the reason.
The missing package can be probably installed with
zypper install kernel-default-devel-3.1.0-1.2
Building the main Guest Additions module failed
(Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong)
Doing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions done

Installing X.Org Server 1.10 modules done
Setting up the Window System to use the Guest Additions done
You may need to restart the hal service and the Window System (or just restart
the guest system) to enable the Guest Additions.
Installing graphics libraries and desktop services components done
It still can't build the main Guest Additions module...
Here is the vboxadd-install.log:

1) Make sure to do this:
Open YaST / Software / Software Management - Select the View Button on the top left and pick Patterns. Now, you will see several Patterns listed and you want to select:
Code:
Development
[X] Base Development
[X] Linux Kernel Development
[X] C/C++ Development
Then Press the Accept button on the bottom right and allow these applications to install.
2) Then try to do this in a terminal session:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
3) Next, to automatically load the kernel drivers for you go into:
Code:
YaST / Software / Software Management, search on dkms and if you have added in the Packman repository, you find the application and then install it.
4) Ever so often I get a report that the VirtualBox script is not marked executable so you can try this if that is the case:
Code:
sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox
5) When in doubt, consult this article: http://forums.opensuse.org/content/5...umbleweed.html
I have installed VirtualBox 4.1.12 from their site and the Extension pack for that version and all is working properly for me.
Thank You,
Thank You,

Hi. Try this:

Re: Can't install Virtualbox Guest Additions on opensuse 12.1 [Windows 7 host]
Hi,
New to opensuse. I have it as a guest on an ubuntu host.
after trying all the above, afshine's advice got me further. The module builds, but I get a "modprobe vboxguest failed"
Trying to run modprobe vboxguest as root returns a fatal error.
Help?

Hi.
Is the package "kernel-devel" installed? If not, install it and try again.
Also make sure there is no mismatch between the kernel and the kernel headers:
YaST > Software Management > search "kernel-" > kernel-desktop , kernel-desktop-devel and kernel-devel should show the same version
Re: Can't install Virtualbox Guest Additions on opensuse 12.1 [Windows 7 host]
Yep, the last line really did the trick.
However, I wonder why this is now necessary. It was not in the last 3 years.
But in fact, it does not matter. thank you very much for the hint :)
