[opensuse] Virtualbox OSE on 10.3
Has anyone else had problems installing VMs using Virtualbox OSE that cam with 10.3. I get the following error every time I start a VM. VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root. VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED). Result Code: 0x80004005 Component: Console Interface: IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45} I can not find the script that is mentioned in the error. I've installed and uninstalled the version that came with the DVD and on the 1-Click site (virtualbox and default-kmp). Any ideas?

You need to add your user to "vboxgroup" group (and restart) or run as root. It works. BTW: I wrote a whole guide about VirtualBox for openSUSE. Just install "lessons4lizards" doc package, and access it via "Start->Help". I hope you installed virtualbox kernel driver rpm. -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

"modprobe vboxdrv" as root will fix the problem temporary! Via Yast>System>/etc/sysconfig Editor>System>Kernel>MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT you can add the module to be loaded at boot time!

1-click install can be tricky.
The VirtualBox is included in 10.3 official repositories and you can see
article
http://en.opensuse.org/Virtualbox
for instructions.
Then, as root, load the kernel driver:
# modprobe vboxdrv
and check that is loaded:
# lsmod | grep vbox
vboxdrv 1652352 0
Than also check is your user in vboxusers group as Alexey said.
