Grrrr...I will now flush those...half relief...

Was a long time since I have installed Virtualbox ,it support 3d acceleration now

When in doubt with Puppy Linux sites, use "p u p p y" and "l i n u x" as your username and password, minus the quotes and the spaces.

Additionally, a couple of the previously posted links seem to be dead, so just go to http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/NOP/ and select the most recent version listed there (which I think would be 3.1.4).

thanks for the password!
when i try to start the virtual box i receive an error message

Code: Select all

RTR3Init failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)

The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the PUEL version of VirtualBox.
what i have to do?? i'm using lucid puppy
someone could help me please? ;(

That's most likely because the VirtualBox packages in this thread are built for Puppy 431 and its kernel version 2.6.30.5. Lucid Puppy (500 or 501) uses a newer kernel, so it can't use these particular packages.
I'll look around a bit, and see if there's already a package for Lucid Puppy or not, and then I'll edit this post accordingly.

EDIT: Well, I can't find a package for Lupu, but if you want there is one for Lighthouse Pup 500. It has the same kernel version as Lupu, but is an Spup (I think), so I don't know if the package would work with Lupu, but it definitely works with LightousePup (as intended). Just something to consider.
There was mention in one of the main Lupu threads that a VBox package might be developed. I've no idea when that'll happen, though.
Otherwise, Oracle distributes a *.run installer for VBox that you can try out. It's over here.

You will need the correct devx and kernel sources for your puppy version.
For lupu there is no kernel sources at this point.
There is a "wary kernel sources" for the same kernel but there is a disparity in the gcc version that it was compiled on and it doesn't work with VBox in lupu.
So if you would like to run VBox then you will need to choose another puppy version.
Download the latest .run version from VBox
Load devx
Load kernel souces for your kernel
to find kernel version, in terminal [ uname -r ]
SDL pet
QT pet
ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dist ... -7.3-1.pet
in terminal [ adduser -D -H vboxusers ]
run the VBox.run.
That should do it.
Good luck

No, there is a kernel source SFS for Lucid Puppy. It's right here.

Point is, the packages in this thread still won't work, as they were made on and for Puppy 430 and 431 with kernel 2.6.30.5.

That was the one I was referring to.
The VBox install log is helpful.
Go vanilla and get it working might be a good approach. Then go back and have another go on lupu.

Oops. Sorry. I wasn't aware that the SFS wasn't actually for Lupu.

@cosworth88
You can use slaxer_pup which is a very solid base to build on.
http://minipc.org/slaxer/
Everything you need for VBox is at that site.(except the latest VBox.run)
The devx and the kernel sources can be installed directly.
Any problems Big_Bass is very helpful.
Also you can use the 'slackware' package repositories.

Hi everybody,

VirtualBox 3.2.6 seems to work with Luci :D
Tested with luci-212 (till now only up to the Welcome screen of VBox).

Downloaded luci_devx_212.sfs, the kernel source (181MB) which 01micko provided
here(puppy, linux) and VirtualBox-3.2.6-63112-Linux_x86.run from here (all distributions, 386).
Installed the first 2 in Boot Manager.

Then :

Code: Select all

adduser -D -H vboxusers
.
From the dir where the file is:

Code: Select all

./VirtualBox-3.2.6-63112-Linux_x86.run
That's all :D

Starting from a terminal with:

Code: Select all

VirtualBox
Hope this helps

Rolf

Edit: 01Micko provided new kernel source with only 84MB, look here.

I installed luci-212 and VirtualBox on a usb stick. Seems to work but installing XP stops because xp expects to be installed on a hd drive :evil:

Has anybody a idea how to tell xp that my usb stick is a hard drive?
Or maybe a virtual harddrive in a virtual box (sounds good to me :wink: )

Every hint appreciated.

Virtualbox Problem

#56 Post by Atrum »

Hello

I would like to ask for some advice as i have tried a few times to get my Virtualbox to actually work.
First of all I need to explain that I am quite new to Puppy and perhaps have missed something quite obvious for that I will apologise in advance.
The Puppy file versions are as follows
devx_431.sfs
Kernel_src/6.30.5-patched.sfs4.sfs
qt4-4.3.2.pet
SDL-1.2.13.pet
Xorg_xorg_dri-7.3-1.pet


and finally Virtualbox-3.2.8-k2.6.332-q1.pet

and now the problem, once I install and then click on the Menu Item, Virtualbox starts up and when I trz to run a virtual Machine I get the error

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Puppy XP.
The virtual machine 'Puppy XP' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1.


A more detailed error is
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

*I have seen this error in a previous post in this forum but did not see a solution.

When I do as the prompt suggests which is to

# sh vboxdrv setup

Stopping VirtualBox kernel module ...done.
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module ...failed!

When I look to the LOG I see the following

vboxdrv: line 302: /opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxdrv/build_in_tmp: No such file or directory


I looked and could not find an src directory where it should be.

Phew, long text, but can anyone see where I am going very wrong?


Also> if I try to install a .run file example
VirtualBox-3.2.8-64453-Linux_x86.run

Puppy then complains

Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox for Linux installation.........
VirtualBox Version 3.2.8 r64453 (2010-08-05T11:57:18Z) installer
Please install GNU make.
Please install the GNU compiler.
Problems were found which would prevent VirtualBox from installing.
Please correct these problems and try again.
Press Return to close this window...


Is that Normal?

Kind Regards Atrum

From the devx and kernel source packages I assume you're running Puppy 431? Please correct me if I am mistaken.
and finally Virtualbox-3.2.8-k2.6.332-q1.pet
This VirtualBox package is made for the wrong kernel, assuming you are in fact running Puppy 431.
431 uses kernel version 2.6.30.5- you can see that in the name of the kernel source SFS you listed above- but this VirtualBox package requires kernel 2.6.33.2- that can also be seen in the package name, with the string of number following a lower-case "k".

There are packages listed earlier in the thread for Puppy 431, for its kernel version, which you can use.

Alternatively, to use the specific VBox package named above, you'll need to use one of the newer Puppy versions. I'm guessing, but the -q1 near the end of the package name probably means it's made for Quirky or a puplet based on Quirky. If memory serves, gray (the OP and packager of many VBox PETs) made just such a puplet, and probably even the VBox package in question, if you want to try that. Search the forums if it interests you.

Virtualbox Problem revealed

#58 Post by Atrum »

Hi Asterisk

Thank you kindly for the reply. Your assumption is correct I am using 431.
I did not recognise the the numbers at the end of the Vbox file, but now that you have explained them it seems pretty obvious. Thank you again for the time you spent writting the reply. I will now search for the correct Puppy for that particular package.

No problem.

Like I said, I think that would be Quirky. If you go to puppylinux.com, and follow the download links, you can get its ISO CD image.

If you want, though, there's yet another version of Puppy you can use: 511, the latest Lucid Puppy. Over in this thread, another user (vanchutr) was kind enough to post links to a binary and install script for VBox version 3.2.4. It worked in my installation of Lucid 511, so I made it into a PET and have uploaded it.
For details and a download link, head over to the thread I mentioned above, if you want.

Unable to find files at http://www.puppylinux.asia/

#60 Post by DanYHKim »

Is there another location for the .pet files? I cannot get beyond
http://www.puppylinux.asia/ and into the /tpp/* directories.

I am using SeaMonkey from Puppy 4.3.1

I am not challenged for a login and password when I try to open the direct link. Am I doing this wrong?
