Hello, I'm getting the following error when trying to start virtualbox:
The VirtualBox support driver which is running is from a different version of VirtualBox. You can correct this by stopping all running instances of VirtualBox and reinstalling the software.. VBox status code: -11 (VERR_VERSION_MISMATCH).
Result Code: 0x80004005 Component: Console Interface: IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}
Virtualbox is version 1.5.2-10.1@586 from the update repo and virtualbox-kmp-default is 1.5.0_2.6.22.5_31-11@586 from oss repo. I apply all updates supplied by updater applet. uname tells me the kernel in use is 2.6.22.13-0.3-default. I have tried removing the .virtualbox folder from home, reinstalling and rebooting. Still the same error. Virtualbox was working well before, haven't used it for a week or so. Don't know if it is related, but I have always had to do: modprobe vboxdrv after a restart to load the driver as this never happens automatically.
Is anyone experiencing anything similar, recently?
Thanks, David
Sure. I did when I found your article and tried my VirtualBox. The VirtualBox update was installed, I guess from update repository, but kernel module wasn't updated (packaging bug?). The solution is to add/enable repository: zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox/openSUS... vbox than list updates with: zypper lu -t package and if you want all updates (I did) than: zypper up -t package If you want only VirtualBox kmp module than: zypper in virtualbox-kmp-default Above is for default kernel. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
