I cannot seem to get the USB devices to work. I have listed what seems to be the main reason below. Curious if I failed to install associated software in yast. Otherwise the install went well. I have read a few post that may be outdated so I posted the question again.
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.0.6_OSE\
However, maybe you can help me edit the files. Reading the instruction to enable USB support I assume we are talking about getting to the directory “etc” like this:
phil@linux-nayo:~> su
Password:
linux-nayo:/home/phil # cd…
linux-nayo:/home # cd…
linux-nayo:/ # ls -a
. bin dev home lib64 media opt root selinux sys usr windows
… boot etc lib lost+found mnt proc sbin srv tmp var
linux-nayo:/ # cd etc
linux-nayo:/etc #
I really do not know how to properly edit the file (add the text per the instructions). In fact I messed up some files and had to restore my openSuse 11.2 to an earlier date with acronis true home.
I want to do the work but need to find a tutorial or guidelines for using an editor in the terminal. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I got this error:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
‘/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup’
as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.
So I:
linux-nayo:/ # cd etc
linux-nayo:/etc # init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel module done
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module failed
(Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)
and then: I looked at the log:
/usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv/build_in_tmp: line 95: make: command not found
if make “$@”; then
if -n “$SAVE_MOD_SYMVERS” ]; then
if -f Module.symvers ]; then
cp -f Module.symvers $SAVE_MOD_SYMVERS
else
cat /dev/null > $SAVE_MOD_SYMVERS
fi
fi
rm -rf $tmpdir
exit 0
fi
Thanks very much for the help. The packages you supplied were not in yast so I do not know where I would have found them without the help. I ran the code and found xalan-c and xerces-c in yast. I then followed the other directions and installed XP, and used a USB device.
I installed XP and plan to use existing scanner and maybe some software. Is there any reason to run XP service pack 2?
