I posted this over at bug 189444 (which dealt with package dependencies between virtualbox-ose-guest-utils and virtualbox-ose-guest-source) :
===== This is still a problem with 8.10. I have 8.04 installed on my desktop. I installed 8.10 within virtualbox. >From within 8.10 I installed virtualbox-ose-guest-utils and it failed to start because it couldn't find vboxadd.ko . I then read several bug reports on launchpad and also installed the virtualbox-ose-guest-source and virtualbox-ose-sorce. Again it tried to modprobe vboxadd but failed. This time the error was: FATAL: Error inserting vboxadd (/lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/updates/dkms/vboxadd.ko): No such device or address The file actually exists this time, but can't load for some reason. So there are two problems, one is that the package dependencies are still not correct. And two: once you do install the correct package it still doesn't work. ===== I guess there's also a third problem with the video drivers and people having problems with /usr/share/virtualbox/x11config.pl which seems to be what bug 292856 is all about. I propose that this bug should concentrate on the issues with the kernel modules. Has anyone gotten the kernel modules to load on Intrepid? btw: uname -r: 2.6.27-7-generic virtualbox-ose-guest-source: 2.0.4-dfsg-0ubuntu1 virtualbox-ose-guest-utils: 2.0.4-dfsg-0ubuntu1 -- Guest utils do not work, Intrepid on Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297915 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
