Hi
There’s a problem with the VBox from the Oracle repo.
#### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2014-12-05 06:20:59 ####
nothing provides libdevmapper.so.1.02()(64bit) needed by VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.20_96996_openSUSE123-1.x86_64
] do not install VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.20_96996_openSUSE123-1.x86_64
] break VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.20_96996_openSUSE123-1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies
#### YaST2 conflicts list END ###
Any thoughts how to resolve this?
You could try to “break VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.20_96996_openSUSE123-1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies”. You might have to create a symlink from /lib64/libdevmapper.so.1.02 to /lib64/libdevmapper.so.1.03 though (which is actually 1.02.90 at the moment…).
Or just install the virtualbox packages included in Tumbleweed instead.

Install from the Virtualization repo instead - I’ve been using that for
years, and have never had a problem with it.

I replaced this repo:
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/12.3/
With this repo:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox_Tumbleweed/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/
and added DKMS – And problem solved.
Thanks Jim
DKMS is not needed in this case and not even used. Those packages contain the kernel module in pre-compiled, binary, form.
And IMHO there’s no need to add that repo on Tumbleweed at all for virtualbox alone. The virtualbox packages in there are submitted to Tumbleweed anyway (you’ll get updates a bit later though, after the openQA testing), the exact same packages are included in Tumbleweed.

And do you use any USB devices?

Does it support USB and Shared folders?
Ken
Of course.
But USB pass-through is disabled by default for security reasons, you have to enable it first by copying /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/ and uncommenting some lines as instructed in the file.
And automatically mounting of shared folders doesn’t seem to work either according to some posts here in the forums (nobody filed a bug report about that yet though), but mounting via “mount” or /etc/fstab should work fine at least.
Well we can take that as a “No” then, since most “normal” users would expect those features to work “out of the box” without further fiddling about. lol!
I made these adjustments for usb. I have a windows 7 VM within my TW system. I tried three different USB storage drives. All were recognised and attached but could not be initialised with drivers by windows auto-driver process (guest additions have been installed).
Any thoughts?
Is user a member of vboxusers group?
Not fully supported by openSUSE for licensing reasons? You may need to set up or modify a udev rule for the usb device. Just a guess really…
Yes, is a member.
USB pro tem kaput.
This brings me to depend on SMB for file transfers (or ftp). That won’t do. Hmm… I’ll have to think,…
Now, after some investigating, I get this preventing me from starting the VM:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Win7Ult.
Implementation of the USB 2.0 controller not found!
Because the USB 2.0 controller state is part of the saved VM state, the VM cannot be started. To fix this problem, either install the 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack' or disable USB 2.0 support in the VM settings (VERR_NOT_FOUND).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}
So I downloaded from Oracle Vbox site, the 4.3.18 extension pack to match the virtualbox release 4.3.18. When I go to install it, as usual I just click it, I get something like this: no device installed to open file of this type. It’s a compressed file and I can drag out the contents but that doesn’t help.
Any thoughts?
open Virtualbox Main Menue, go to the Tab File----Global Settings-----additional Packages and than install your Extensions-Pack by clicking on the Triangle on the right Side.
Im here in German, it might be other Names in Englisch…
Thanks for that – fixed. USB storage now works.
Having to enable an option in the settings is “fiddling around” and “not working” then as well?
Oracle’s VirtualBox cannot even be installed, so what’s better now?
Btw, I made a mistake.
Shared folders do work out of the box.
What I talked about was a limitation of the guest additions included in openSUSE.
