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"
PRECAUTION
If you have problems trying to update virtualbox (xalan-c not found...) use
this command to solve it:
# prt-get update -fr xerces-c xalan-c
and then rebuild virtualbox
