FAIL: Linux Integration Components: OpenSuse 11.3 on Hyper-V (Win2008 R2)

Hi

I have a Hyper-V set up and I have chosen the 4 guest OS’s to be

  • OpenSUSE 11.3 (IFolder)
  • OpenSUSE 11.3 (Open-xchange)
  • CentOS 6.2 (LAMP)
  • Windows 2008 R2 (Guest) (Active Directory)

I had done all my preliminary studies on VirtualBox and found OpenSUSE 11.3 automatically detected this and installed the components itself. (whereas CentOS 6.2 didn’t and I ended up doing a YouTube Howto on that very subject) I assumed that it would be ahead of the game in SUSEland. I was wrong.

Everything was going smoothly and according to plan, and I moved to Hyper-V on ££££ of customised Hyper-V hardware which involves automated backup and redundancy outside the scope of this topic. But I can’t “not” use Hyper-V.

Then the bombshell hit: OpenSUSE 11.3 (that is not supported any more and is still the most up-to-date OS you can so iFolder/Open-xchange) DOESN’T support Linux Integration Components on Hyper-V and it HATES hyper-v on so much it won’t even detect the DVD after install. I have added gcc-c++ and kernel-source in yast.

The problems:

  1. I cannot for the life of me install Linux Integration Components 2 or Linux Integration Components 3.2 (the latter of which worked perfectly for CentOS 6.2)

  2. OpenSUSE 11.3 even refuses to detect at all the “Media-> DVD” once the install iso has completed it’s task. Luckily networking did work otherwise we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

Since problem 2) is probably related to problem 1) I have been working hard on it.

So. Part 1) errors for 3.2 (my preferred 1st choice for “Linux Integration Components” that worked with CentOS 6.2):

(assume the files I need are all in a folder /tmp/linuxic/3.2/ that in fact I had to download onto host and then copy via LAN)


# cd /tmp/linuxic/3.2/
# ./install.sh
bash: ./install.sh: Permission denied

oh, ok so I try


# bash ./install.sh

NB: I found nothing on this in google anywhere.

so basically 3.2 was a dud so I thought “hmmmm maybe OpenSUSE is older and needs the older 2 version”

So I tried this older way - the 2.0 way. I had to follow this page because the PDF for v2 was painful.

(The pdf’s by the way is atrocious to the point of hopless they literally contradict themselves when it comes to OpenSUSE 11 so I won’t go there! If you don’t believe me - READ THEM. They ask you to change something called the /dev/disk/* to /dev/hd* in the /etc/fstab and then don’t actually make any sort of sense because they simultaenously tell you to change allow_unsupported_modules 1 and also to allow_unsupported_modules 0. Total Joke.)

So anyway 2.0 looks the way to go (it was current when 11.3 came out at least)

OH WOW I THINK! IT’S DONE :smiley: :slight_smile:

oh wait the mouse doesn’t work the screen is far too laggy no this is wrong. There is no resolution detection and I still have to CTRL-ALT-LEFTARROW out of it. Hmmm. Bad.

ok I will do the mouse then.

FFS! WHY IS ROOT UNABLE TO HAVE PERMISSION!!!##

ok ok ok calm down! ok

# perl ./setup.pl

vmbus driver not installed!
Please install it and rerun

ok this is weird so I run


# /sbin/modinfo vmbus
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmbus

ARGH! So the Linux Integration Components 2.0 message was a lie! I read the perl. It’s doing a check. I re-run the perl.

# perl ./setup.pl drivers

It still thinks they are not installed.

I now give up and go to the forums.

PLEASE HELP BECAUSE THIS IS SO EASY TO DO NORMALLY AND I NEED TO GET THIS TO WORK!!!

So how do You do this normally ? :slight_smile: Why don’t You switch everything to CentOS if it works there and will be supported for so much longer than any version of openSUSE ?

Alternatively You could try with Debian or any other long supported distro.

Best regards,
Greg

I do this “normally” in the sense that this is a no brainer: Virtual Box has Guest Additions, VMWare has VMWare tools, Hyper-V has Linux Integrated Components, and they all work - in other words. It’s the bread and butter of a OS: to be installable in VM or to have their own known “features” that need addressing: To answer your other point I would happily consider another linux distro except for three things.

  1. IFolder

  2. Open-xchange.

  3. I should be able to use OpenSUSE? What about all the other people who have this problem and never got help (the internet is full of them)

as to points 1+2 if you know of a good CentOS Tutorial for those I am all ears. But I have looked and there is nothing on iFolder about other distros they all refer to Open Suse

I see. That seems reasonable requirement. I’m afraid I can’t help You with
your problem because I simply don’t know the answer. You will have to wait
for someone with the proper knowledge.

Good luck in solving this.
