#oracle Virtualbox 4.0.x doesn't work on !debian sid

Seems that is a known issue ,
I have dist-upgraded and from vbox 3.x is now 4.0 but that is very slow
the windowsxp vm works with cpu 100% in top and the mouse moves like in slow motion
I will remove virtualbox and use virt-manager from now on



















ps: yah i want to see my grades on the university website ...works on ie only fsck

The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist in hardy/gutsy latest kernels

locate vboxdrv.ko

dpkg -L virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-18-generic

(may need to locate -u first)

then I did

insmod /path/to/exact-same-kernel.../vboxdrv.ko

sudo insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-18-generic/misc/vboxdrv.ko

lsmod | grep vbox

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv status
open: Permission denied
* VirtualBox kernel module is loaded.

sick of xen or vmware/virtualbox?

you can try kvm
the next great thing in virtualization and it is included in ubuntu by default

i couldn't install vmware player on hardy so instead i installed virtualbox
and then i downloaded the jeos iso and created an new disk for it
i will call it ubuntu-firebird (4g image)

after installing it with
$sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
i have added myself in vboxusers
$grep vboxusers /etc/group
vboxusers:x:124:mariuz

then restarted the system
this thing is really faast , it runs at the native speed , i like it and i think i will convert my
vmware images to virtual box ones
did i mentioned that is open source too ??

soon i will test kvm on my machine
