Bug Description
Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
Virtualbox doesnt work I have an existing XP virtual machine, when i run it I get a VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_
Virtual box worked fine in 7.04 out of the box, it was very straight forward. After 7.10 install I found not all the features were there and tried to install extras modules (I had a launcher so that I didnt have to run the virtual machine from the manager, that didnt work) . Basically I've been fiddleing with Synaptic. Now no matter what I try to install and uninstall it comes up with the same thing.
Perhaps this is not a Bug and apologies in advance but I just dont seem to be able to get a working install and like I say it workied first time in 7.04 and I had no problems whatsoever.
You have to install virtualbox- ose-modules- generic (or ..-server), then it should work. (make sure you have the latest updates)
