[Bug 237471] Re: no virtualbox-ose-modules package for latest kernel (2.6.24-18)
Most of you probably are aware of this, but for people who are freaking out because their VMs don't work and don't know what to do: Open a terminal. Open Synaptic Package Manager by issuing the command: gksudo synaptic Search by name for "virtualbox-ose-modules". Take note of the latest version you have installed (2.6.24-16, for example). Close Synaptic Package Manager. Issue the command: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst Scroll to the bottom where your menu list entries are defined. Copy/paste the menu entry block for the kernel version that matches your VirtualBox modules version to the top of the menu entry list. This will cause the GRUB boot loader to load the old kernel by default, which will match your VirtualBox modules version, which will cause VirtualBox to work normally again. Reboot to load the old kernel version. Test VirtualBox. Funny this hasn't been confirmed, and even stranger there aren't more cries about this...is no one using VirtualBox? It blows VMWare away as far as I'm concerned. The repository maintainers need to add this to their "list of things to pay attention to" for sure. ** Attachment added: "Where for art thou, O vbox modules" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15061842/Where%20for%20art%20thou%2C%20O%20vbox%20modules -- no virtualbox-ose-modules package for latest kernel (2.6.24-18) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237471 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 237471] Re: no virtualbox-ose-modules package for latest kernel (2.6.24-18)
Kevin, thanks for your comment. However, for some people this might not be acceptable as they'd have to use an old kernel. Note: For those of you who do not want to go through the following steps, just use the attached deb-Package which is the result of the following process. This work-around does not rely on using outdated software: 0) Open up a command line. Don't worry, the workaround is straight forward and doesn't require any file editing. 1) Install module-assistant. This program is used to compile kernel modules from source code and build debian modulels. Simply do: sudo aptitude install module-assistant 2) Tell module-assistant to build, package and install your new modules; all done in the regular Debian way: sudo module-assistant auto-install virtualbox-ose This will automagically prepare everything it needs. 3) Reboot your system. Note: If you followed Kevin's instructions above, make sure you boot the current kernel. Obviously, this workaround works anytime they release a new kernel without updating the virtualbox modules. Once they release updated versions of the virtualbox modules, these will be installed during your regular system updates. Hope this helps.

so looked deeper

Tried VB anyway...
and it WORKED!
Now I cant tell what worked here as I had tried this off a blog:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-source
sudo m-a update
sudo m-a prepare
sudo m-a a-i virtualbox-ose
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv restart
but it didnt work for me...

tried
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
and got:
* Usage: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv {start|stop|restart|status}
so looked deeper
# Modified for Ubuntu by Daniel Hahler: # ‐ Removed "setup" ac‐
tion # ‐ Removed "/lib/lsb/init‐functions"‐conditional
Tried VB anyway...
and it WORKED!
Now I cant tell what worked here as I had tried this off a blog:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-source
sudo m-a update
sudo m-a prepare
sudo m-a a-i virtualbox-ose
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv restart
but it didnt work for me...
Anyway thought I would share :)

Most of you probably are aware of this, but for people who are freaking out because their VMs don't work and don't know what to do: Open a terminal. Open Synaptic Package Manager by issuing the command: gksudo synaptic Search by name for "virtualbox-ose-modules". Take note of the latest version you have installed (2.6.24-16, for example). Close Synaptic Package Manager. Issue the command: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst Scroll to the bottom where your menu list entries are defined. Copy/paste the menu entry block for the kernel version that matches your VirtualBox modules version to the top of the menu entry list. This will cause the GRUB boot loader to load the old kernel by default, which will match your VirtualBox modules version, which will cause VirtualBox to work normally again. Reboot to load the old kernel version. Test VirtualBox. Funny this hasn't been confirmed, and even stranger there aren't more cries about this...is no one using VirtualBox? It blows VMWare away as far as I'm concerned. The repository maintainers need to add this to their "list of things to pay attention to" for sure. ** Attachment added: "Where for art thou, O vbox modules" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15061842/Where%20for%20art%20thou%2C%20O%20vbox%20modules -- no virtualbox-ose-modules package for latest kernel (2.6.24-18) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237471 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 237471] Re: no virtualbox-ose-modules package for latest kernel (2.6.24-18)
Kevin, thanks for your comment. However, for some people this might not be acceptable as they'd have to use an old kernel. Note: For those of you who do not want to go through the following steps, just use the attached deb-Package which is the result of the following process. This work-around does not rely on using outdated software: 0) Open up a command line. Don't worry, the workaround is straight forward and doesn't require any file editing. 1) Install module-assistant. This program is used to compile kernel modules from source code and build debian modulels. Simply do: sudo aptitude install module-assistant 2) Tell module-assistant to build, package and install your new modules; all done in the regular Debian way: sudo module-assistant auto-install virtualbox-ose This will automagically prepare everything it needs. 3) Reboot your system. Note: If you followed Kevin's instructions above, make sure you boot the current kernel. Obviously, this workaround works anytime they release a new kernel without updating the virtualbox modules. Once they release updated versions of the virtualbox modules, these will be installed during your regular system updates. Hope this helps. All best, Dan ** Attachment added: "Working modules." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15062366/virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-18-generic_1.5.6-dfsg-6ubuntu1%2B2.6.24-18.32_i386.deb -- no virtualbox-ose-modules package for latest kernel (2.6.24-18) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237471 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Don't think that reverting to the old kernel is a satisfactory solution. I have the restricted version of virtualbox on my other computer (I need USB support there). After the kernel update it popped up a message box saying how to fix it: running with sudo some command "/etc/??? setup" (unfortunately I did not kept notes). It came up with something saying that it was re-compiling some module, and after that everything works perfectly again.

Most of you probably are aware of this, but for people who are freaking out because their VMs don't work and don't know what to do: Open a terminal. Open Synaptic Package Manager by issuing the command: gksudo synaptic Search by name for "virtualbox-ose-modules". Take note of the latest version you have installed (2.6.24-16, for example). Close Synaptic Package Manager. Issue the command: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst Scroll to the bottom where your menu list entries are defined. Copy/paste the menu entry block for the kernel version that matches your VirtualBox modules version to the top of the menu entry list. This will cause the GRUB boot loader to load the old kernel by default, which will match your VirtualBox modules version, which will cause VirtualBox to work normally again. Reboot to load the old kernel version. Test VirtualBox. Funny this hasn't been confirmed, and even stranger there aren't more cries about this...is no one using VirtualBox? It blows VMWare away as far as I'm concerned. The repository maintainers need to add this to their "list of things to pay attention to" for sure. ** Attachment added: "Where for art thou, O vbox modules" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15061842/Where%20for%20art%20thou%2C%20O%20vbox%20modules -- no virtualbox-ose-modules package for latest kernel (2.6.24-18) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237471 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 237471] Re: no virtualbox-ose-modules package for latest kernel (2.6.24-18)
Kevin, thanks for your comment. However, for some people this might not be acceptable as they'd have to use an old kernel. Note: For those of you who do not want to go through the following steps, just use the attached deb-Package which is the result of the following process. This work-around does not rely on using outdated software: 0) Open up a command line. Don't worry, the workaround is straight forward and doesn't require any file editing. 1) Install module-assistant. This program is used to compile kernel modules from source code and build debian modulels. Simply do: sudo aptitude install module-assistant 2) Tell module-assistant to build, package and install your new modules; all done in the regular Debian way: sudo module-assistant auto-install virtualbox-ose This will automagically prepare everything it needs. 3) Reboot your system. Note: If you followed Kevin's instructions above, make sure you boot the current kernel. Obviously, this workaround works anytime they release a new kernel without updating the virtualbox modules. Once they release updated versions of the virtualbox modules, these will be installed during your regular system updates. Hope this helps.

Don't think that reverting to the old kernel is a satisfactory solution. I have the restricted version of virtualbox on my other computer (I need USB support there). After the kernel update it popped up a message box saying how to fix it: running with sudo some command "/etc/??? setup" (unfortunately I did not kept notes).

Same here~! After upgrading the kernel of Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy to 2.6.24-18, I have the same error message just like the others above. === VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason.
