I've installed VirtualBox from YaST, specifically the packages: virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-guest-tools virtualbox-ose-kmp-default (This is the default kernel) xorg-x11-driver-virtualbox-ose (Mouse & Video driver)
You need virtualbox-ose and virtualbox-ose-kmp-default (or another kmp depending from your kernel) for the the host machine. Install virtualbox-ose using yast or zypper and the right kmp RPM will be chosen automatically. The other RPMs are for openSUSE guest machines only and are optional.
Calling 'virtualbox' at a terminal does nothing. I do not find anything that looks like an executable for this program, so something seems to be missing.
The executeable is VirtualBox with big V and B.
Besides two additional kernels of the same size as the default ("debug" and "trace"), there is another, much smaller "kernel" called virtualbox-ose-kmp- pae, and maybe that is what is missing. But if someone can confirm that, I would feel much easier in making the experiment. The descriptions of these files in the Software Manager are less helpful than usual.
No experiments with kmps neccessary, when you use yast or zypper for installation. Herbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
