Retried few times already, to no avail :(

Every single time I get following error in dmesg:

supdrvGipCreate: failed to allocate the GIP page. rc=-26

@DovW I was anxious to give QEMU a try after reading your post. I installed it, than converted my windows vdi file to a raw img. When I run the qemu command to open it, Windows pops up and I get the W10 flag, but it hangs there. Sometimes I get Error code: 0xc0000017 about not enough available memory to create a ramdisk device. Is this the results expected from a non-supporting kernel?

z3ntu commented 7 years ago

Hello, I just wanted to ask if the current kernel header (for 3.14) packages are usable and functional for building other kernel modules?

divx118 commented 7 years ago

@z3ntu I doubt it, they are quite old. Better to build new headers, or build the modules directly from the kernel 3.14 source. Of course you can try, also depends on which modules you want to build. If nothing or not much has changed in that section of the source then they still could work.

What is the latest version of chrome os which is still supported?

bumblebeers commented 7 years ago

@Jimster121 as far as I know it's R51.

ghost commented 7 years ago

Thank you, does this link have the correct image of chrome 51 os for the Asus c300? https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/release-R51-8172.B-chromeos-3.14

I have chrome book C720p and getting similar issue when i run 'virtualbox' command I get

The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (3.8.11) or it failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

   sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

 You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

Any solution ?

Is this project abandoned?

sclaughl commented 7 years ago

No, but this issue is pretty well dead. The kernel-level changes in Chrome OS are too frequent to have VirtualBox working reliably in crouton. Personally I am dual-booting GalliumOS. Most of the time I’m in Chrome OS with crouton, but when I require VirtualBox, I boot up Gallium. I suppose if I needed VirtualBox daily I would just use GalliumOS all the time, but I love the lightweight nature of Chrome OS + crouton, so that’s where I spend most of my time.

Regards,

@sclaughl Ok, thank you for this information.

divx118 commented 7 years ago

@Jimster121 yes @sclaughl is right. Using dual boot with galliumos is the best way now for virtualbox.

ghost commented 7 years ago

ok thank you, I'll try gallium os

natethegreatsu commented 7 years ago

Hey guys would you mind explaining a bit on how to run virtual box in gallium OS? Do you run a chariot inside of gallium and then do it the normal way? Or do you download virtual box directly while inside of gallium? I pretty much get the legacy boot part just not how to download virtual box any comments would be greatly appreciated.

natethegreatsu commented 7 years ago

Also I like the concept of github. What can I do or learn to really contribute on this platform? I think the concept is pretty dope.

ghost commented 7 years ago

@natethegreatsu Installing Virtualbox on Gallium OS is super easy. Open up Synaptic and search for "Virtualbox". Once you find it, double-click it and it will select all the required packages. Click "Apply" and it will do the job. Works well on Asus c300 Chromebook with RW_Legacy Bios. Good Luck!

natethegreatsu commented 7 years ago

Thank you so much for the tips. You guys are the best.

natethegreatsu commented 7 years ago

@Jimster121 @divx118 Hey yal I just wanted to update yal and let yal know that it totally worked. I now have gallium and virtualbox works fine. I have two new issues im working through now though. I messed around and delete chromeos so now when I press ctrl+D on start up it crashes, so I have to use ctrl+L exclusively and secondly the The Yosemite MAC OS file I have isn't booting in virtualbox. Thank you guys for your help. Also when I tried to use synaptic manager virtualbox would not install. So I had to use the following from Quidsup https://quidsup.net/tutorials/?p=virtualbox sudo su echo "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian $(lsb_release -cs) contrib non-free #Virtualbox" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | apt-key add - apt-get update apt-get install virtualbox-5.0 if [ "grep vboxusers /etc/group|grep $USER" == "" ] ; then sudo usermod -G vboxusers -a $USER ; fi I hope this helps someone in the future.

ghost commented 7 years ago

@natethegreatsu I don't know how to help you with the Chrome OS problem, I don't even use it because it eats up the limited storage space my chromebook has. As for the second problem, what error does it show when you boot up the virtual image?

natethegreatsu commented 7 years ago

@Jimster121 it gets stuck at the hackintosh loading screen image

ghost commented 7 years ago

Try to boot another OS (ex. Windows XP) and see if it is booting. I'm pretty sure that this has to do with the virtual machine and nothing with the host OS. Try searching for it in forum and check for potential fixes.

natethegreatsu commented 7 years ago

@Jimster121 It tried running a windows iso but it gets hung at the booting screen. Im about to search online for a solution

ghost commented 7 years ago

Ok, Good Luck!

@natethegreatsu @divx118 So I have been trying to get crouton and virtualbox to work together for the last few days to no avail and luckily came across this post. You people understand my pain! Can we confirm that dual-booting will solve this issue? Gallium OS seems like the way to go but I am a bit of a newbie with this so if you guys have any step by step guides to reference the install, it would be much appreciated.

sclaughl commented 6 years ago

Dual booting is definitely the way to go, for times when you need vbox.

The easiest way is to install from the ChromeOS command line using chrx.

@sclaughl thanks for the quick reply! Will have to give this a try on my Acer R11 later on.

natethegreatsu commented 6 years ago

Hey my situation was a little different. Running crouton didn’t work for me. I ended up wiping my chrome book and running only Gallium. At that point I figured out how to force Virtual Box to work. Unfortunately my Chromebook didn’t have enough ram and storage to adequately run MacOS and I.T ran super slow which made app development very difficult. I will add the links to the videos I used o. YouTube.

@david-expresscorp According to this https://wiki.galliumos.org/Hardware_Compatibility you may experience sound problems. It seems it will be fixed in the future since the Acer R11 it's a quite popular device.

I was able to run a parrot os vm with qemu and kvm on a pixelbook. I used the change kernel flags script from crouton repo, then installed qemu and kvm packages normally for my debian 9 chroot. Virt manager doesn't work, but I can make a hard drive image with CLI and boot up a vm with CLI and it all works, albeit it is a bit slow even with kvm. Probably cause even a pixelbook has low resources.
