vagrant-vbguest with Oracle Linux 8 #364

Closed bgraef closed 4 years ago

Box: https://yum.oracle.com/boxes/oraclelinux/latest/ol8-latest.box VirtualBox: 6.1 Vagrant: 2.2.6 Plugin: vagrant-vbguest (0.22.1, global)

While creating a new deployment using Oracle Linux 8, I noticed the guest additions build failed with the following error:

$ tail -n 20 /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log Building the main Guest Additions 6.1.0 module for kernel 4.18.0-147.3.1.el8_1.x86_64. Error building the module. Build output follows. make V=1 CONFIG_MODULE_SIG= CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ALL= -C /lib/modules/4.18.0-147.3.1.el8_1.x86_64/build M=/tmp/vbox.0 SRCROOT=/tmp/vbox.0 -j2 modules make[1]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode. Makefile:977: "Cannot generate ORC metadata for CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y, please install libelf-dev, libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel". Stop. make: [/tmp/vbox.0/Makefile-footer.gmk:114: vboxguest] Error 2 Could not find the X.Org or XFree86 Window System, skipping. modprobe vboxguest failed

Installed the following package: $ sudo dnf isntall elfutils-libelf-devel Rebuilt additions using: $ sudo /usr/sbin/rcvboxadd setup

Success!!!

After this change, the guest additions installed on Oracle Linux 8 successfully.
