[Solved] Virtualbox full version install problem

[Garthhh]

I ran the command
which looks like this on a terminal

$MIRRORLIST: media/core/release/virtualbox-4.0.6-4.mga1.i586.rpm
installing virtualbox-4.0.6-4.mga1.i586.rpm from /var/cache/urpmi/rpms
Preparing... #############################################
1/1: virtualbox #############################################
[root@localhost mgarlo]#

Same fault when I try to run a virtual machine
I tryed to set a new machine, besides opening my regular appliance

What's the output of:

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep kernel | sort
rpm -qa | grep virtualbox
su
dkms status

(dkms must be run as root, so switch to root 'su', before running it).

[Garthhh]

[root@localhost mgarlo]# rpm -qa | grep kernel | sort

[ahmad]

OK, as root:

Code: Select all

su
rpm -e --nodeps dkms-virtualbox
urpmi dkms-virtualbox

Thanks Ahmad
That worked
is this a bug?
or a result of trying to install from the VB site 1st?
in other words should I be filing a bug?

Could be, yes; the kernel module didn't get built correctly for your currently running kernel, removing the dkms-virtualbox package and reinstalling it insured the build environment became clean.

Sorry, I don't know anything about remote desktop management.
