Trying to Build kernel headers and install Virtualbox #20

Closed CorySpitzer closed 8 years ago

CorySpitzer commented 9 years ago

I'm trying to get virtual box installed so that I can use Vagrant.

I followed the instructions here to the letter, as best as I could.

I got to the part where you log out and log in after running sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local

When I logged out and then back in I got WARNING: /etc/rc.local failed with code 1

Here's my $ croutonversion:

 crouton: version 1-20150730171703~master:f8fdfb0c
 release: trusty
 architecture: amd64
 xmethod: xorg
 targets: xfce,xfce-desktop,keyboard,gtk-extra,extension,core,cli-extra,chrome,audio
 host: version 7077.111.0 (Official Build) stable-channel peppy 
 kernel: Linux localhost 3.8.11 #1 SMP Tue Jul 28 15:00:32 PDT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
 freon: yes

Thanks for the help!

Sorry I didn't come back to you sooner. Is this still an issue. What output do you get when you run in the chroot sudo sh -x /etc/rc.local ?

I never got past this issue, but I haven't been actively working on.

When I run that command I get

+ cat /proc/mounts
+ grep -v ^/$
+ grep /lib/modules
+ /usr/bin/cut -d   -f2
+ uname -r
+ find /lib/modules/3.8.11 -name vboxdrv.ko
+ [ ]
+ exit 0

It seems you don't have the vboxdrv kernel modules installed. You can follow https://github.com/divx118/crouton-packages/blob/master/README.md to get the kernel headers installed after that you can install virtualbox which will install the modules. If you aren't gonna use virtualbox so no vboxdrv then you need to edit the /etc/rc.local and change it to your own modules you want to load. However you still need to follow the Readme.md to enable loading of external modules and installing the kernel headers.
