Hi all,

I’ve already installed virtualbox-ose. but when i try to launch it just stuck and then close by it self?

Any idea? is there any wrong setting after i installed?

Have you created the VirtualBox kernel module? Assuming you have the kernel source installed, enter

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Also be sure you have been added to the vboxusers group.

i already do

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

What happens if you try to start VirtualBox from the terminal/console? Note that it’s case-sensitive.

Check thru this
VirtualBox Installation - openSUSE

I would recommend adding the OSE repo
for 11.1: Index of /repositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox/openSUSE_11.1

I have the same problem.
Virtualbox is a no-start.

Added the repo but it offered nothing new.

Anybody know a better way to get VirtualBox working?

My plan is to remove everything and look for the Sun link and install the n-ose and try again.

Xen didn’t start for me either.

i have same problem.

Hi everyone,

why don’t you try to install the rpm package from the VirtualBox site, instead using the OSE version?

I had the same problem as you do and now is working fine.

Although I found some things interesting that I want to share.

VirtualBox works great with kernel 2.6.27.21-0.1, take caution when upgrade your kernel… I upgraded for 2.6.27.23 and then I got troubles.
