Hello Mates,
just a Question. What is the best way to run virtualbox under tumbleweed? AFAIK we haven't precompiled kernel modules. Should i use the *.run from virtualbox.org?
Have a nice evening...
Using Tumbleweed you can install the .RPM from virtualbox.org, but you have to recompile the kernelmodule everytime the kernel gets updated (which is quite often in TW). Besides that, VB ist running fine. That is the best solution. Thanks for the help :-) -- Sincerely Yours

It will take care of the VB kernel modules and reinstall them automatically everey time a new kernel is installed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Any reason for NOT having DKMS on an OBS devel project and submitting it to Factory?

Hi, yes, please, submit DKMS if it does already work fine with openSUSE. I would in general switch from compiled external Kernel modules to DKMS. Besides creating less problems/confusions on the user side it should be also easier for the packagers. Tim On 08/13/2011 12:18 PM, Ismail Doenmez wrote:
