[opensuse] Problem with Virtualbox kernel 2.6.36 module
Here it's me again with the kernel 2.6.36 adventures :) I have been trying to run my virtual machines in virtualbox with no success so I decided to upgrade packages for upgraded kernel, this means to install them from Virtualization-kernel-HEAD repo. The error is about a known issue where the kernel module can't start. So when I try 'sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' the result is: *** /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: line 83: log_daemon_msg: command not found done. done /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: line 83: log_daemon_msg: command not found /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: line 281: /usr/share/%PACKAGE%/src/vboxhost/do_dkms: No such file or directory done. done /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: line 83: log_daemon_msg: command not found /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: line 299: /usr/share/%PACKAGE%/src/vboxhost/do_dkms: No such file or directory Failed, trying without DKMS failed /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: line 83: log_daemon_msg: command not found Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong failed *** Currently I'm booting from desktop kernel 2.6.36 (multiple kernels).

I am using kernel 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop and I have no problem running VirtualBox (not the OSE).

Probably for the same reasons a lot of us are using a higher version of the kernel than the one that came with 11.3. The 2.6.34 kernel that came with 11.2 does not play well with nVidia and KDE4 (a bit of an understatement). You end up with an 11.3 install that is virtually unusable due to frequent desktop freezes, and random 100% CPU - there were dozens of mailing list threads on this topic when 11.3 was GA. The solution that worked.. bump up to kernel 2.6.35 or higher C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I can tell you why I do: better performance with Nvidia drivers (latest). I was having issues with KDE seeming to lockup for short periods. After I updated my kernel to the kernel in Kernel:HEAD and reinstalled the kernel module, bliss has settled! -Matt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I don't have issues with KDE after installing nvidia driver, but the desktop looks a little strange and the vertical refresh rate is 60 Hz instead of 75 Hz. Maybe I should update too for a newer kernel. Thanks for the tip. -- Bogdan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Before you do this, it might be worth doing some digging in the archives on Kernel:HEAD topics. Kernel 2.6.35 was fairly painless to update to, but Kernel:Head now has 2.6.36 which does throw a bit of a wobble under certain conditions.. VBox for example... some people have had issues getting the latest nVidia drivers working... a few other issues have been raised. That said, there is a huge improvement for most of us when we bumped up to a higher version kernel. Oh, I'd also recommend you set the option to allow multi kernel - that way you can roll back to your working 2.6.34 if things don't quite go so well with a 2.6.36 kernel.

Agreed. Nvidia drivers work fine, however, I've not been able to get the VirtualBox installer from Virtual Box's website to build the kernel module properly.

That's why I said "under certain conditions." :-) For some people, it works, for others VBox on a host with 2.6.36 sometimes causes the host to reboot (as Togan has already noted)... or nVidia drivers simply won't compile the kernel module properly. These issues have been recently discussed on the ML here.. so at least some people have bumped into issues with 2.6.36 on 11.3... but not everyone. Kernel 2.6.35 seemed to work for most everyone who tried it. These issues are a good reason why it's useful to enable multi kernel (something a really wish was either a default or much easier and considerably more visible to enable than it is now).

there is an mess in the init-script, as you see there is a variable %PACKAGE% that for some reason wasnt replaced properly. With or without it, it isnt going to work, that part is used to compile the virtualbox modules manually, for which you would need kernel-source, make, gcc and probably other stuff installed on the system. In practise what you want is to install the kmps build for this particular kernel version, (which BTW.. works just fine, Im using it myself, right at this moment ;)) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Not a problem. I noticed the issue myself last night when I was messin' with my windows VM.. well trying to. Went to "Help" and "check for updates" Told me I was running the latest version, but their site said differently.

I would advise you to use the non use version instead (unless you want to use VB for production). It has some features not available in the ose (e.g. Shared Folders, USB access) -- Bogdan Cristea http://sites.google.com/site/cristeab/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I haven't yet find any different result with this problem so I would like to know if someone would take this as a bug or not. kernel 2.6.36 doesn't build the vboxdrv module for virtualbox-ose. Installed packages: -virtualbox-ose -virtualbox-ose-devel -virtualbox-ose-guest-kmp-desktop -virtualbox-ose-guest-kmp-pae -virtualbox-ose-host-kmp-desktop -virtualbox-ose-qt -xorg-x11-driver-virtualbox-ose
Compilation required packages are also installed.
I can confirm that the same thing happens with the non ose version of VB. I get the following error:
make KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 -C /lib/modules/2.6.36-custom/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/vbox.0 SRCROOT=/tmp/vbox.0 modules make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop. make: *** [vboxdrv] Error 2
Could you please post the error you get ?

No idea. I don't use the packages from the distribution. I grab the download for openSUSE directly from the VirtualBox site. -Matt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
