| | 21 | * Debian packages: If the installation of the ! VirtualBox_*.deb package was not successful because the compilation of the kernel module fails, it might not be possible to remove the package nor to install other packages as the pre-remove (prerm) script of the package (which is executed prior to package removing or upgrading) aborts with an error "(Kernel module not found)...fail!". In that case do the following: |
| | 22 | * Edit /etc/init.d/virtualbox and change line 129 from 'exit 1' to 'exit 0' |
| | 23 | * Reinstall the virtualbox package by 'dpkg -i <the VirtualBox package for your distribution>'. An installation failure of this package is expected. |
| | 24 | * Edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox.postinst and change line 39 from 'exit 1' to 'exit 0' |
| | 25 | * Execute 'dpkg --configure --pending' |
| | 26 | * The package should now be installed successfully. However, the kernel module is still not compiled. Before you will be able to execute VirtualBox you have to create a kernel module for your current kernel, as described in the User Manual (see our Downloads section). |
