Creating group 'vboxusers'. VM users must be member of that group! The result of the install appears to have succeeded AND boots my Linux guest. However, when the console of the guest actualizes, it's just a line on my display. Maybe this is caused by the error above? Contact — Privacy policy — Terms of Use. Login Preferences. Browse Source.

Change History comment:1 Changed 4 years ago by weeman Same for me using kernel 4. Last edited 4 years ago by weeman previous diff. Regards, George If I'm not "total blind" - tried to apply the patch twice - this patch doesn't work anymore! I attach the log. Changed 4 years ago by joeAverage attachment vbox-install. Changed 4 years ago by obiewan attachment vboxadd-setup. What do "we" do now? I think there is not test before releasing the Guest Additions : The only way I've found is to download Guest Addition 5.
Best regards,. Here's what I'm running now on kernel 4. Removing the rpm gives this message: rpm -e VirtualBox Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets. It also offers all the features that make virtualization attractive. Users can run an old operating system like Windows 8 on their Windows 10 device, or test an OS before installing it fully.
They can even use the full performance of their desktops by packing multiple virtual machines onto a few hosts while saving up on a lot of hardware costs. Owing to the snapshot feature, users can easily switch to an old snapshot and avoid frequent backups whenever something goes wrong. You can choose to either install the software or add support for USB and different types of networking, including host-only, bridge, and conventional. Once installed, the software offers a great user experience so you can run different operating systems and applications from your native PC environment.
VirtualBox has a clean interface with three primary menus, which include Machine, File, and Help. You can use the Machine option to create your first guest operating system. Once you do that, a module pops up and asks you to choose the type of operating system you want to load as well as its unique name. The latest version of the software allows you to scale the display , so you can reduce the size of the window and still make out everything.
The File option gives users access to the media manager, preference module, as well as import and export features. Apart from this, the software also offers various tools to fix bugs and increase the performance of your virtual machines. It provides users with the option to create a multi-platform or collated server, useful for testing and development. You can even use different customization options to personalize the user interface of the guest OS. One of the biggest challenges of running the free version of VirtualBox is creating a guest operating system.
The process also requires patience on the part of the users. For instance, if you wanted to install Windows 10 or even Windows 7 using VirtualBox, adding the final touches would take time. Fortunately, the software offers different guided modes , so users have some help when they need it. This means that if a virtual machine is vulnerable to a virus attack, the host system isn't compromised.
While paid software offers much better integration between the host and guest OS, VirtualBox offers all the necessary tools needed for virtualization. VirtualBox is open-source software, which means that it has a vast online community. Typical to all such software programs, these communities create a wide range of information and help. Users of the software get easy access to technical documents, changelog, operation manuals, FAQs, and more.
There also exists a Bug Tracker page, where users can report bugs and track any status updates. Apart from an array of information, Oracle also offers live chat, so users can easily connect with a representative for any questions. Formerly known as Sun VirtualBox, the base package of the virtualization tool is free to download and use.
While the base pack is free, Oracle also provides an extension pack with added features. Since it falls under the Personal Use and Evaluation License, corporate users need to purchase a commercial license from Oracle.
VirtualBox is completely safe to download and use. The software offers added security in terms of protection from malware. A key advantage of using VirtualBox is that it is quite secure. A virus usually shuts down the moment it detects a virtual environment. By using VirtualBox, you can protect your hard drive from viruses , test new operating systems, and run applications that are incompatible with your existing OS. While VirtualBox is one of the most prominent open-source virtualization software, it does have some competitors.
Though VMware offers better drag-and-drop functions between guest and host as well as a better interface, it is limited in the snapshot feature. VirtualBox, on the other hand, offers unlimited snapshots - a feature that is only available in the premium version of VMware. While it may take time during the primary integration, it does run well after the process is complete. Once a guest operating system is installed, you can easily access and work on it without any hassle.
Moreover, since the tool is monitored by Oracle, users have access to a wide range of documentation and help.
