AVLinux & Virtualbox

Post by retnev »

Were any of you successful installing virtualbox on AVLinux ?
It failed for me on KXStudio and AVLinux on the same machine. Both clean new installs and latest Virtualbox downloaded from Oracle. I made sure it is the correct kernel architecture version used etc.
Virtualbox also failed using the apt repositories.
Furthermore virtualbox failed on a clean Debian 9 Stretch installation, both with apt and the newest version from Oracle.
It cannot install the kernel modules and insmod seemingly fails.
the USB detection also doesnt work from the interface which comes regardless the fact that you cannot load a virtual machine with an insmod fail.

I couldnt register at AVLinux Forum. " https://bandshed.net/forum/index.php?action=register" to ask the question there . The registration process is an abomination involving mixing of colors they dont even tell you which of additive or subtractive or paint mixing systems. Anyway I cannot register there. They are probably colorblind to boot that is why registration fails.

I reported the virtualbox issue on the Oracle website, and got somebody offering to help, but they just disappeared after I posted the system details and all that was required. Maybe the problem is more extensive and they are working on it, but I got no response, so I guess there is no response.
"https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic ... 02#p434702"

So I try to find help here as a last resort.

So anyone have virtualbox running successfully on AVLinux ?
