Hi!
I just installed VirtualBox by mean Yast on openSuse Leap 15. But I can find the VirtualBox icon to launch the application.
How I can run the application?
Thank you in advance.
Are you able to find Virtualbox by menu item or a Desktop search?
Most convenient way depends on the installed Desktop, which one are you running?
TSU
I’m using KDE desktop environment.
I cannot find VirtualBox menu item in order to launch virtualbox application.
Thank you for replying.
Since I don’t have Virtualbox installed on a KDE personally,
I can’t know for sure whether there is a bug or not, but it should be a menu item somewhere…
-
Reboot
Sometimes menu items aren’t properly installed without a reboot. -
Try starting the Virtualbox Manager from the command line
vboxmanager
- Check whether virtualbox was properly installed. If you installed from openSUSE, post the results of the following so we can see it’s installed
zypper se -i virtualbox
- Try “force re-installing” virtualbox. Don’t forget to reboot afterwards.
zypper in -f virtualbox
TSU
Try as root:
zypper in -f virtualbox-qt
Tsu2, Sauerland…Thanks a lot.
The problem was in virtualbox-qt package wasn’t installed:
adrian@asia:~> sudo zypper se -i virtualbox
