I'm on Porteus 3.2rc2 and tried to use VirtualBox but as you can see
Code: Select all
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (4.5.3-porteus) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

I am missing the vboxdrv kernel module. Where do I get that? Thanks in advance Bogomips.

Hi
fab1qaz.
Look at these modules 05-devel.xzm and probably crippled_sources.xzm for your arch

Thanks Blaze. What is arch? Do I need all 4 of these modules active?

You have the 2 modules Blaze mentioned already active. Arch = architecture x86_64.

Ahh, so devel is development stuff what is crippled_sources? I see Blaze's link has a new xzm for VirtualBox I'll try that one out.

I believe VirtualBox recently changes some of the files. I am working to update the script tonight.
