Using virtualbox to run an i586 vbox.
I downloaded the Oracle Extension Pack in the guest system but have no idea how to install it. This is what I tried:
Untarred the downloaded Oracle Extensions file in the guest 32-bit system and copied the linux.x86 files to /usr/lib, all ELF binaries with extensions .{rc,r0,so}.
Closed down the vm and went to settings -> usb in the virtualbox manager.
USB2 or USB3 raise the error "Invalid settings detected"
and attempting to add a new device filter produces "no devices available".
Before this I had tried downloading the Oracle Extension pack on the host and chose the option to install through virtualbox but that failed with error messages:
- Code: Select all
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
ExtPackManagerWrap
Interface:
IExtPackManager {edba9d10-45d8-b440-1712-46ac0c9bc4c5}
I tried this again after adding the user to the vboxusers group and:
- Code: Select all
Failed to run /usr/lib64/virtualbox/VBoxExtPackHelperApp --stdout /tmp/VBoxExtPackHelper-pqihec/stdout --stderr /tmp/VBoxExtPackHelper-pqihec/stderr --elevated install --base-dir /usr/lib64/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks --cert-dir /usr/lib64/virtualbox/ExtPackCertificates --name 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack' --tarball /tmp/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.12-104815-1.vbox-extpack --sha-256 ac1bc8452b7fdf183325272149e9f18b9810cc07adf18e48755385a9cd1b236d.
No such file or directory.
I see from search results that at some time in the past the extension pack installed successfully.
