Actually, to install the latest VirtualBox version from the Sun repository, you have to specify:

zypper in VirtualBox-3.1

Otherwise, it will install VirtualBox-3.0 (which is OK too).

could not find the program “cvsodrv”

#11

What? That doesn’t sound right. There isn’t such program.

#12

Always use the newest virtualbox (3.1.2…), because older versions have probs to support USB.
The new version runs very good - and the installation goes through without any interaction.

Did you compile the module ?
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

BTW you’ll have to do that every time after a kernel update.

If it doesn’t work with sudo, try su and then /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

The module should load. Then restart VirtualBox.

#15

could not find the program “cvsodrv”

#16

I never heard about such program! Even in /etc/init.d/vboxdrv, which is a plain text script, you won’t find that keyword. Am I wrong?
What’s the output of :

grep cvsodrv /etc/init.d/vboxdrv

on your system? I bet it’s empty.

This thread is becoming unbelievable. I suspect an issue either with language or mental comprehension - No offence intended.

The guide I posted gives you step by step instruction.
