Virtualbox Issue 12.1

suse_kid · June 27, 2012, 7:13pm

Hi,
I downloaded & installed Virtual box but it wont start. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30630174/Screenshot%20at%202012-06-27%2022%3A31%3A31.png

I have already installed autoconf, dkms, linux-glibc-devel, kernel-source, kernel-syms, gcc, make, kernel-devel

What is going wrong ?

There is a virtualization forum for these questions.

It says there:

Did you look?

Look at the kernel source and kernel version. I bet they don’t match.

You should update the running kernel and reboot before installing the kernel source*, because the kernel source available are always the latest one. If kernel and kernel source don’t match, compiling the module fails.

Doesn’t look like it.

More precisely, before installing VirtualBox.

Yes you are right.

These two packages dont match. What is the solution? zypeer refresh / zypper update shows no available updates.

I don’t believe that.

Look at the repository difference. Both of your packages are from System Packages and in my case the kernel-desktop-devel is from the openSUSE-12.1-Update repo.

The updates for 3.1.10-1.13.1 where removed from the repositories
because of suspend and shutdown problems on too many machines, they are
no longer shown and available.
If you go into yast and show your kernel package you will see it marked
in red.

@suse kid
Go into yast serach for kernel-desktop and with the version tab change
it to 3.1.10-1.9.1 so that your system is again consistent (reboot of
course after that).

In my case too. I don’t know why it says “System Packages”, but I keep the packages locally and if I search them, I can tell that they were downloaded from the update repo.

AFAIK, “System Packages” is actually not a repo.

martin_helm · June 28, 2012, 10:35am

See post #10 why, they were removed from update.

suse_kid · June 28, 2012, 10:58am

Did

zypper dist-upgrade

now Vbox starts without any issues.

Arf! Well … they shoud simply release a new kernel then. Btw I haven’t seen shutdown problems … or more precisely not more than before.

Indeed.

+1
The situation was more than confusing. I have seen that it was mentioned
in some other thread that a new update is on its way, I do not know
details when.

I ran into the trap here on three machines (Dell Precision Laptop, Dell
Vostro PC, Fujitsu PC) which were no longer able to shutdown.

Because you only searched installed packages “zypper se -si”. Installed
packages show as “System Packages”.

That is correct.
