Check you have set up correctly
‘VirtualBox Installation - openSUSE’
(http://en.opensuse.org/VirtualBox_Installation)
go thru the above step by step
You didn’t say if you were using the repo or the Sun .rpm
But it doesn’t really matter.
Only if you use the repos you can add the build service VBox

More info please. From which repo’s you installed it? Are you set vbox
modules to start in runlevel editor? When you execute this command:
groups
is the vboxusers group listed?

yes, vboxusers is listed, and i don’t know what > Are you set vbox modules to start in runlevel editor? means, so probably no.

You shouldn’t need to follow any tutorials or do anything exotic with
your installation of virtualbox, simply follow what virtualbox itself is
telling you what to do, it’s giving you the answer
As root run the command it’s giving you, /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
After doing that it should work fine, although you may need to logout
and back in first
There can also be an issue if the user isn’t in the vboxusers group,
but virtualbox will also pop up a message telling you to rectify that if
you need to anyway, if it doesn’t tell you the user needs to be added to
the vboxusers group then you shouldn’t need to worry about it
If something’s telling you to do something to fix a problem it’s
usually a good idea to read what it’s telling you to do and … just do
it

Hmmm … bit hard to troubleshoot if the log’s empty
Something just occured to me though, I had a problem with shared
folders on a system I did a fresh install of suse and vbox on the other
day
Popped over to vbox’s own forum to see what they had to say, apparently
there’s a number of issues with virtualbox 2.1.0/2.1.1 and they were
recommending people get version 2.0.6, which solved my shared folders
issue
Might be worth checking what version you have and getting 2.0.6 if
you’re using one of the later ones
If you need to, here’s where you can get earlier versions from:
‘Index of /virtualbox/’ (http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/)
Also, I’ve had a couple of problems after installing virtualbox rpms
before, but never have when installing from the binary, so the binary’s
what I always use

Okay, i got the 2.0.6 version like you suggested, but i can’t install it
cause I’m asked to install libpython 2.5.so.1.0 first, and i already
have libpython, only a different version.
What do i do? where can i get the 2.5 version?
Thanks for your help btw

Hi,
I have recently switched from Ubuntu to OpenSuse to give it a whirl!
However I had the same issue in Ubuntu 8.10 with the USB subsystem not
being able to be accessed.
Unfortuantely this is a bit vague as I have recently wiped ubuntu off
and have now lost the line in my fstab file that corrected it. You maybe
be able to do some googling to find it.
Basically I had to put an entry in my /etc/fstab file that mounted the
usb filesystem. This corrected the issue and USB worked a treat.
I need to fix my own Virtualbox install, so if I find the solution
again I will post it here.
Regards
Paul

OK I think I found the line I added last time, I would test but OpenSuse
is giving me untold grief opening anything with sudo…not liking this
distro so far!
So in your /etc/fstab you will need to add the following line:
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=123,devmode=664 0 0
Replacing the devgid with the group id of the vboxusers group…you
can get this by just typing id in a terminal and it will list groups and
their id’s.
Let me know how you get on.

Do you mean this?
/sys/bus/usb/drivers /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=XXX,devmode=664 0 0
If yes, then you may find this wiki useful:

Oops, did not notice the last post and 10 minutes have passed…
Concerning the problem Original Poster asked about:
I had this problem to,
so I had to install OSE-version (from openSUSE repository),
so no USB support for now.
I’ll try installing that 2.0.6* binary version too
and post back if I have any success solving that python issue.

Who da man!!!
Thanks for pulling that line out, I eventually managed to find an
article on opensuse:
‘VirtualBox USB Support - openSUSE’
(http://en.opensuse.org/VirtualBox_USB_Support)
I obviously didn’t look very hard!!
The only other thing I had to do was edit /etc/init.d/boot.local and
add the line “mount - a” without quotes.
Hope that helps anyone on this issue.
Thanks again

I am successfully using VirtualBox 2.1.0 on Suse 11.1 KDE to run WinXP
and check out other distros like Linspire. It sometimes takes a bit of
setting up and most of the posts here help. I found the first thing was
to get the
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
to successfully compile. The usual cause of failure is that the kernel
sources, gcc and make have not been installed. They are often not
installed by default. You also must run the command as root, obviously.
BTW I have found that I have to repeat this each time the kernel is
updated.
Also your user id must be a member of group vboxusers.
Check and try again. Good luck.

in openSUSE (using KDE), instead of using sudo, use kdesu
