yum install akmod-VirtualBox-OSE works... well, it installs all the packages
and when I reboot does stuff.
Running VirtualBox I had an error message, so I tried as root and got the
following
--------------------
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686.PAE)
or it failed to
load. Reboot the computer, or insert the kernel module by executing
'/sbin/modprobe vboxdrv' (as root)
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
Qt WARNING: QGtkStyle cannot be used together with the GTK_Qt engine.
Qt WARNING: Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication
protocols specified are supported
------------
I ran /sbin/modprobe vboxdrv with no error...
when I run VirtualBox from commandline or from the icon I get an error
screen
-----------
Caption:
Failed to create the VirtualBox COM Object
The application will now terminate
Could not load the settings file '/home/yoram/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml'.
Cannot convert settings from version '1.7-linux'.
The source version is not supported.
Result Code:
VBOX_E_XML_ERROR (0x80BB000A)
Component:
VirtualBox
Interface:
IVirtualBox {339abca2-f47a-4302-87f5-7bc324e6bbde}
---------
Same thing with or without root.
What's the deal?
Thanks
