log out is necessary to put you in the vboxusers group. test by going to command line and running ‘groups’. if it does not list vboxusers, you either did not log out or you did not do the groupmod command right (requires sudo).

the configuration guide works fine, but you need to log out after the changes to take effect
keep up mates!

buat di share :
kalo ada yang ngalamin error waktu running awal Vbox seperti dibawah ini :

Effective UID is not root (euid=1000 egid=100 uid=1000 gid=100) (rc=-10)

tenang aja.. bisa diakalin tuh :
blinkon~> /bin/ls -l /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox

Make sure the permissions are 4511 (chmow 4511 /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox)

selesai deh. dan jangan lupa petunjuk mas vavai diatas diikutin juga..jangan da yang ketinggalan.. wokeh..

lam kenal buat semua..

Mas Vavai,

Pesan error dari Sun VB nya:

Unable to open a connection to the Xen hypervisor/daemon.

Verify that:
– A Xen host kernel was booted
– The Xen service has been started

Detail

Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI ‘xen:///’:
internal error failed to connect to xend
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py”, line 325, in _open_thread
self.vmm = libvirt.openReadOnly(self.uri)
File “/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py”, line 149, in openReadOnly
if ret is None:raise libvirtError(‘virConnectOpenReadOnly() failed’)
libvirtError: internal error failed to connect to xend

Mohon penjelasan.

I downloaded the latest version on February 1, 2009. After installing on OpenSuse 11. and editing the groups and users, the icon appeared in the KDE menu. Clicking on it just produces a bouncing cube which goes away after a few bounces.

Could someone please post the diagnostic steps which should be taken to solve this problem?

Also, for new users, it would be helpful to explain that fstab is opened in read-only mode, and what to do about that.

Hans,
openSUSE11_11 is only partially supported AS A GUEST. opensuse11 works as a HOST OS.

The advantage over XEN is that it does full virtualization – I can take my Windows CD, boot and install it in Virtual Box. XEN does Paravirtualization – I need an OS install customized to run on XEN. Someday soon XEN will do full virtualization IF and only IF you have a processor with the virtualization extensions, that is a Core 2 Duo or later.

Nice article, about _how_ to install.
But _why_ should i?
According to the author there’s only a single reason: “VirtualBox is free and open source”
Just checking out the website: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes
Here they claims that openSUSE_11 is only partially supported.

So what is the advantage over XEN, which is also open and free and fully supports the latest version of openSuSE? Is it better, faster, more stable, emulate more hardware? Figures?

I might want to try it, but for a better reason than only “free and open”.
