[SOLVED] Unable to install VirtualBox 4.0.14 on Mageia 1

[epretorious]

I'm not able to install VirtualBox using Mageia Control Center or urpmi:

1. When I use urpmi, urpmi complains...
   
   

   Code: Select all

   [root@localhost Downloads]# urpmi virtualbox
A requested package cannot be installed:
dkms-virtualbox-4.0.14-1.3.mga1.i586 (due to unsatisfied dkms[*])
Continue installation anyway? (Y/n) n

[root@localhost Downloads]# urpmi dkms-virtualbox
A requested package cannot be installed:
dkms-virtualbox-4.0.14-1.3.mga1.i586 (due to unsatisfied dkms[*])
Continue installation anyway? (Y/n) n

   
   
2. When I try to install the virtualbox and dkms-virtualbox packages using Mageia Control Center, MCC also complains (see attached screenshots):
   
   

   Code: Select all

   Sorry, the following package cannot be selected:

- virtualbox-4.0.14-1.3.mga1.i586 (due to unsatisfied kmod(vboxdrv)[== 4.0.14])

Ideas? Suggestions?

I wasn't aware that I'd need to add sources before using urpmi. Once I did that (using Mageia Control Center), the installation went over without a hitch...

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# urpmi virtualbox
In order to satisfy the 'kernel-devel' dependency, one of the following packages is needed:
 1- kernel-desktop586-devel-2.6.38.7-1.mga-1-1.mga1.i586: The kernel-devel files for kernel-desktop586-2.6.38.7-1.mga (to install)

On the other hand, in between you tried to install an x86_64 package on an i586 system, which will always fail.

On the other hand, in between you tried to install an x86_64 package on an i586 system, which will always fail.

This raises an interesting question, Doktor: Is there a non-free, 64-bit LiveCD available? I only see 32-bit versions of the non-free LiveCD available on the Mageia download page.

[doktor5000]

No, not yet.
