"/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" - Unknown operation setup - and I haven't found an alternative. Any ideas? Regards Sid.

I get that if I boot with systemd. In normal boot (what used to be normal) it is working. OTOH I'm running the Oracle version, where I run the VBoxLinuxAdditions.run.

But the error is exactly the same.

Well, Oracle should provide a way to do the same as /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup with a non initscript way (or do it during "start" option). I suggest filling a bug on their bug tracker.

If you start an LSB initscript under systemd, the call is forwarded to systemctl and "setup" isn't a valid command for systemctl.

The OP gets this error by running /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup I get it with Oracle's script. Now this is new since systemd, I get also many other different errors in different situations which otoh work fine with normal boot. I have filed a couple of bug reports, not on this one yet. The funny thing is that once you run the script in normal boot and then reboot with systemd the virtualbox additions work.

I got this and reinstalled VirtualBox from virtualbox.org. Fixed it.

You installed the VirtualBox on the host? Which version? What is your host OS?

I'm running 12.1m5 in vb using systemd

Exactly the same setup here, but when it tries to build the module it hits the same "Unknown option setup". Perhaps systemd switch over is a bit premature to say the least. apache2.service loaded failed failed LSB: Apache 2.2 HTTP Server apparmor.service loaded failed failed LSB: AppArmor initialization NetworkManager.service loaded failed failed Network Manager dev-sda3.swap loaded failed failed /dev/sda3 "rcapache2 start" just hangs and does nothing. "/usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf" works and spawns the normal 6 processes. I have opened a new topic on the virtualbox forum. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

I got this and reinstalled VirtualBox from virtualbox.org. Fixed it.

I am running 12,1 MS 5 with kernel 3.1, booting with systemd as host, Win2k as a guest in VB.

I tried reinstalling VB from VB.org and it didn't work. I also installed dkms from packman and it doesn't work either.

The only way I got VB running again was to boot with 'init/bin/sysvinit', then executing "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" and booting with systemd again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

as a workaround

cp /etc/init.d/vboxdrv compile_script sudo ./compile_script setup

But that's just the same as /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup why the cp? DC -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

and remember to complain on virtualbox upstream so they provide a non-init.d way to rebuild their modules..

Or openSUSE uses similar to Debian, Ubuntu and most likely other distributions a module-assistant, DKMS and similar which compiles external modules from source against the current Kernel after installation, and don't ship precompiled external modules. That would also make installing a different Kernel much easier.
