hi Description of problem: after install virtualbox (urpmi virtualbox) i create new computer but, when i launch the new computer crashing. After help, we see the "dkms-virtualbox" is not install with virtualbox. The dependancy is break, can you add "dkms-virtualbox" when we install virtualbox? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia 3 Kde x86_64 How reproducible: urpmi virtualbox and do new computer thank you, sorry for bad english
if you have the kmod module (pre-builded), you don't need the dkms. but you will need to reboot before using it so rpm -qa | grep virtual ?
hi, [aranud@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep virtual dkms-virtualbox-4.2.6-4.mga3 virtualbox-kernel-3.8.0-desktop-0.rc5.1.mga3-4.2.6-8.mga3 virtualbox-4.2.6-4.mga3 virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest-4.2.6-8.mga3 [aranud@localhost ~]$ [aranud@localhost ~]$
Whiteboard: (none) => MGA4TOO
still bug :(
No, we wont install dkms-virtualbox for every virtualbox user as it unnecessary pulls in devel packages virtualbox already requires the kmod, and urpmi will prefer the prebuilt modules over dkms package... for example on mga4: # urpmq --requires virtualbox |grep kmod kmod(vboxdrv)[== 4.3.6] # urpmf --provides --literal "kmod(vboxdrv)" dkms-virtualbox:kmod(vboxdrv)[== 4.3.6-1.mga4] virtualbox-kernel-3.12.9-server-1.mga4:kmod(vboxdrv)[== 4.3.6-1.mga4] virtualbox-kernel-3.12.9-desktop-1.mga4:kmod(vboxdrv)[== 4.3.6-1.mga4] but I will look into autoloading the module on install so it wont need a restart or otherwise manual intervention to make it work oob
