Re: Virtual Box Now fails
You need to rebuild the VirtualBox kernel modules for your new kernel version.
There may be a DKMS service you can enable to automate this.
Why not try QEMU/KVM instead?
That offers hardware acceleration for guests OOTB with no need for any custom kernel modules.

No clue, I wouldn't touch VirtualBox with a barge pole, it's a blobby pile of shiteData007 wrote:just how do I do that please
Seriously, try KVM.

Re: Virtual Box Now fails
Hi Install of kvm was simple but I prefer a gui such as VirtualBox under KVM just how to bring up a gui for virtual machine installation.
Thanks HOnStick by verbose I ment it.

Re: Virtual Box Now fails
I am afraid I did look at youtr link and got the install but was then COMPLETLY lost further on.
For Example if one simply types virsh start VMGUEST
error: failed to get domain 'VMGUEST'
error: Domain not found: no domain with matching name 'VMGUEST'
Iam none the wiser taken from your links on how to do it from the compandline, scratches head is virsh a command is it installed or what is it GUI man pls

Re: Virtual Box Now fails
In which case you should use Debian stable instead.
Debian testing will have much more frequent kernel upgrades and so this will happen often.
Why are you using one of Debian's development branches anyway?
Do you like broken systems or something?
Do you know that buster's kernel version is still vulnerable to Meltdown?

Re: Virtual Box Now fails
With each post we get further ay from the problem Iam not interested in meldown only virtual machines.
Can we have some Good old advice here instead of converstion drift.
I tried what YOU yourself suggested when asked simple NEWBIE questions I am at a loss please Someone some concrete advise on a gui method like Virtual box I am familiar with the same.
If there is a virtual gui method then exeplain same I attempt to follow your answers.

Re: Virtual Box Now fails
I think what you need is this
there are some instructions here to automate building them.
Code: Select all
/usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup
