Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
In 8.04 I tried to install virtualbox-ose through Synaptic. It installed
fine and brought along two other small libraries.
I ran virtualbox-ose successfully through "Applications > System Tools >
Virtualbox OSE" until I tried to actually run a guest.
I made a new guest using 256MB or RAM, a new 8GB expandable hard disk
using the Warty image (warty-release-install-i386.iso) for a CD-ROM.
As soon as I booted it up, I received this message:
Failed to start the virtual machine Ubuntu 4.10.
VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either
not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the
virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g.
virtualbox-ose-modules-generic..
VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).
Result Code:
0x80004005
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}
However, as soon as I installed 'virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-generic'
and 'virtualbox-ose-modules-generic' through Synaptic, the guest booted
up.
Should installing virtualbox-ose not rely on installing some kernel
modules as well, dependant on what the server has?
