My VirtualBox hasn't been working for a while. Today I tried fixing it.
I followed instructions in manual http://manual.aptosid.com/en/hd-install ... n.htm#vbox
This ends up with a blue screen and a grey box pointing to a buildlog file. That file is almost empty
Code:
$ more virtualbox-ose-source.buildlog.3.0-1.slh.4-aptosid-686.1312909456
Build log starting, file: /var/cache/modass/virtualbox-ose-source.buildlog.3.0-1.slh.4-aptosid-686.1312909456
Date: Tue, 09 Aug 2011 19:04:16 +0200
According to this http://aptosid.com/index.php?name=PNphp ... virtualbox thread, virtualbox-source should be used instead.
This works much better. Maybe manual should be updated...? |

On every boot I get a warning that goes something like
"Not in virtual box".
Am I supposed to use virtual box by default? |
