Installing VirtualBox OSE on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon

VirtualBox is a powerfulvirtual machine software. The VirtualBox OSE is open source edition ofVirtualBox. It is functionally equivalent to the full VirtualBox,except for a few features that primarily target enterprise customers.Currently, VirtualBox OSE was already in the Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbonrepositories.

1. To enable universe repository, you can click System → Administration → Software Sources and check Community-maintained Open Source software (universe) option in Ubuntu Software tab.

2. Now you need to update sources, run this command in your terminal:

sudo apt-get update

3. Install VirtualBox OSE:

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-source

4. Install VirtualBox OSE kernel module:

sudo apt-get install module-assistant
sudo m-a prepare
sudo m-a a-i virtualbox-ose
sudo modprobe vboxdrv

5. Automatically load the kernel module:

sudo gedit /etc/modules

Then add:

vboxdrv

6. Add your username to “vboxusers” group:

sudo adduser [your username] vboxusers

To run VirtualBox OSE, you can click Applications → System Tools → InnoTek VirtualBox menu item.

Some Problems:

1.

代码:

TheVirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Makesure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by addingthem to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change totake effect.. VBox status code: -1909 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE). Result Code:0x80004005

我用这个命令就解决了

代码:

sudo chmod ugo+rw /dev/vboxdrv

参考 http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/about64995.html&sid=09c1c2f28edf4c1cc3988fc30517e204 四楼

2.

代码:

VirtualBoxkernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either notloaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup thekernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root. VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).

代码:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

后log里显示

代码:

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv: line 150: /usr/share/virtualbox/src/build_in_tmp: No such f ile or directory

代码:

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-source-ose sudo m-a prepare sudo m-a auto-install virtualbox-ose

然后

代码:

sudo adduser <user> vboxusers

<user>是你的用户名

3. 共享文件夹

新版的vbox里有共享文件夹设置，设备－＞共享文件夹
设定好共享的文件夹后打开客户机，我的是deepinXP系统

打开 我的电脑－＞工具－＞映射网络驱动器
选择驱动器名，文件夹名是前一步设的共享文件夹名，确定，在我的电脑下就会出现一个网络驱动器了

4. use连接问题

增加用户组usbfs

代码:

sudo groupadd usbfs

查看usbfs的gid

代码:

cat /etc/group | grep usbfs

我的系统上输出

代码:

usbfs:x:1002:

把自己所用的用户增加到usbfs组

代码:

sudo adduser <user> usbfs

<user>是你的用户名

编辑/etc/fstab文件，添加下面两行，

代码:

# 1002 is the USB group ID none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1002,devmode=664 0 0

注意：你的gid可能不是1002，如果不介意所有用户使用及安全问题，可将664改为666

重新起动后，应该就可以在客户机中使用USB设备了。在客户机里使用USB设备前要先在主机里卸载。
