Opensuse 11.2 64bit and Virtualbox 3.0.10

On Virtualbox website there’s only the version for Opensuse 11.1.

Can I use it now that I have upgraded to 11.2?

Installing the rpm gives me this error log:

** Compiling vboxdrv

Suggestions?
(of course kernel-source 2.6.31.5-0.1.1 package is installed)

I have this query as well.

Stop thinking you need to download and compile everything by hand, learn to use the repositories:
Index of /repositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox/openSUSE_11.2

Isn’t that just OSE though? I want the PUEL version.

Am running 11.2 and was looking for full OpenSuSE version VirtualBox. Since I could not find it I took the:

All distributions i386 | AMD64

Works like a charm!

VirtualBox-3.0.10-54097-Linux_amd64.run

worked for me.

I followed your advice … but I get this log (kernel-source package is installed).
Do I need “kernel-source-rt” package??

What does it mean “Run ‘make oldconfig && make prepare’ on kernel src to fix it.”?
cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.31.5-0.1/
and launch the command as root?

TNX in advance.

Testing system setup…
System setup appears correct.

Installing VirtualBox to /opt/VirtualBox

Output from the module build process (the Linux kernel build system) follows:

FIXED.

“kernel-syms” package is needed (“kernel-xen-devel”, “kernel-desktop-devel”, “kernel-default-devel”, “kernel-debug-devel” come as dependencies).

A_Tweaker: tnx a lot.

Bye,bye.
