That's the solution. Works like a charm now.

Yep. And it's a bit confusing cause you have the headless use flag that
really does nothing. Just yesterday I had to rebuild it twice in a row
because I got tricked by that. And to top it off it's been a while since
I've been able to build VirtualBox with anything other thann -j1.

Bertram, if you're still having the host crashes one possible cause is a
dirty /lib/modules/ directory. I just had the same
problem. I was setting up a new laptop so I was fiddling with the kernel
config and I switched something to built-in from module but  the module
from the previous kernel build was still there. So remove that directory
and run 'make modules_install' again.

The ebuild for VB4 builds it headless with -qt4. There is no choice of
qt4 or qt5, it's qt or headless, only the version of qt used varies
between VB releases.

VirtualBox is a Qt app and *requires* Qt to get a GUI. There is no
option for GTK

USE="qt4"
or in more recent versions ebuilds (or ~arch)
USE="qt5"

This is how I start my vbox guests:

VBoxHeadless --startvm "Mint-18.1-Cinnamon" --vrde on

I use the above syntax because I thereafter access the desktop remotely via 
xfree.  If you run whichever VBox* command with --help, you'll get some 
guidance for options you can use with it.  For more detailed information you 
can scan/search through the online help in the URL mentioned above.

For quick tests, I'm using VirtualBox on my desktop (Windows) PC in the
meantime - runs fast and reliably. But in the past, I sometimes had the
need to run some Windows-only software 24/7, and since I don't have any
real machine which runs Windows 24/7, I used to run a Windows VM on my
(old) Gentoo server (which has much RAM and CPU power - so it doesn't
affect normal server operation). Worked for years without any flaw.

I don't have the need to run a Windows VM 24/7 on my new Gentoo server
at the moment, but I'd appreciate to know that I *could* do it again
if needed.

There is a command "VirtualBox" but it's not in your PATH:

/usr/lib64/virtualbox/VirtualBox

It's launched by the menu item

VBoxManage is a CLI app, there won't be a window. It has a very long
list of syntaxes for every possible action it can do with a VM. 590
lines is about right, and the command is fully explained in the
virtualbox docs

I had similar problems when I used a version of Virtualbox which was  
"too old" for my kernel.
I'd recommend using the very latest release of Virtualbox, e.g. 5.1.10,  
although I had problems
with that on very recent kernels (4.9-rc*), so that I downgraded to  
version 5.1.8.
Both version don't build/run correctly for these kernels without a  
patch which I have posted on my bug report.


My patched version seems to be stable on my new kernel and Windows 10.

Have you installed VirtualBox headless or something?

My system:

Virtualbox for a server?
I only use it for a quick test on my laptop. On the server, I use more 
reliable and robust virtualisation software.

If it's a new system.
Did you check that the BIOS is fully uptodate and doesn't have any bugs in the 
virtualization support?

The official documentation 
says:

  On a Linux or Solaris host, depending on your desktop
  environment, a "VirtualBox" item may have been placed in
  either the "System" or "System Tools" group of your
  "Applications" menu. Alternatively, you can type
  "VirtualBox" in a terminal.

There is no command "VirtualBox" but only some commands
named VBox* like "VBoxManage" that are symlinks to
/usr/lib64/virtualbox/VBox. The command "VBoxManage" prints
out >10 pages of documentation:

  # VBoxManage | wc -l
  590

No window shows up as promised.

There is no man page.

Is there a _short_ documentation for which command to give
with wich parameters?

I think they were. Will carefully check next time (cannot do now,
it's a 24/7 server where I have few time slots for maintenance

I do have some VirtualBoxes running on other Gentoo machines. This
one is a pretty new installation, and I just thought I had forgotten
to enable something important in the virtualization sections of "make
menuconfig".

I have vbox on Gentoo here (many others do too) and it was a very smooth
start - basically emerge virtualbox, the fancy oracle additions and
modules, and I was off like a rocket. I don't know of any
Gentoo-specific tutorial though. The oracle docs are very good and quite
complete

Do you have specific questions that you want a tutorial to answer?

[gentoo-user] Virtualbox documentation

Hi,

arrgh! I just want to find a quick-start tutorial for
Virtualbox on Gentoo, but Google shows up loads of tutorials
for Gentoo in a Virtualbox. The Gentoo Wiki article's
"Usage" paragraph does not contain any usable information.

Does anybody have a hint for me?

Thanks in advance.

Bertram
