REQUIREMENTS
|
|
|
|
Kernel headers needed for build 'vboxdrv.ko' kernel module.
|
|
|
|
PRE-INSTALL
|
|
|
|
POST-INSTALL
|
|
|
|
Run the post-install script in order to add a vboxusers group to your system.
|
|
After that, add your user to the vboxusers group:
|
|
# usermod -a -G vboxusers <your_user>
|
|
|
|
During installation 'vboxdrv.ko' has been installed to your modules directory
|
|
and you can load it using modprobe vboxdrv (needed before run VirtualBox).
|
|
Also make sure you give yourself read and write access to /dev/vboxdrv.
|
|
For this, virtualbox port has their own udev rules.
|
|
|
|
Also is a good idea to fine tune your udev rules as you want.
|
|
For getting some info from your system run udevinfo:
|
|
# udevinfo -a -p /sys/class/misc/vboxdrv
|
|
|
|
Udevinfo starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
|
|
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
|
|
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
|
|
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
|
|
and the attributes from one single parent device.
|
|
|
|
looking at device '/class/misc/vboxdrv':
|
|
KERNEL=="vboxdrv"
|
|
SUBSYSTEM=="misc"
|
|
SYSFS{dev}=="10:62"
|
|
|
