Tahr 6.0.5 32 bit pae with a non standard kernel (emsee 4.3.2 32) to get Virtual Box installed I loaded the SFS for the kernel 4.3.2 sources, loaded the devx sfs for Tahr 6.0.5, and then downloded and installed the 32-bit: virtualbox-4.2.12-x86_src.install.pet available under the
Alternative Source-Based Installer heading towards the bottom of this web page http://www.silverdollarsolutions.com/Pu ... guide.html

under the index, I am confused by the different number scheme of virtubalbox numbers, can someone suggest the correct sfs file?

thanks,

This link might be a bit hidden in the first post. Scroll down to see the differences. Unfortunately, nothing for me with Quirky Unicorn (Barry Version) and installing the kernel directions are a bit confusing....

The packages are very outdated.

Is it possible to have Virtualbox 4.3.12 in a .pet format please. Compared to .pet the .sfs file is HUGE! I got VB working in Precise Puppy 5.4.1 but I where can I find one for Slacko Puppy 6.3?

Hello,

First thanks for all people that contribute to Puppy Linux community. I'm a normal user who don't know much about linux but I like to try new things so I found Slacko 5.7 some years ago and started to use it in an old computer. Now I'm using slacko 6.3, pretty good puppy, but I need to use virtualbox but I can't find a version that works in kernel 3.14.55 (I think) that slacko 6.3 use. If someone could make a .pet or .sfs I would apreciate it.

Thanks again for your hard work and I hope that I don't have to install an stupid windows xp for somethings that I need to do in Windows (wine doesn't work T_T).

I finally got the latest Virtualbox working in Slacko 6.3.0. It was actually pretty easy and all it involved was downloading a few files. This is for 32-bit version-latest Virtualbox http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... ux_x86.run Virtualbox Guest Additions(optional but highly recommended) http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... 5.1.10.iso devx http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pu ... _6.3.0.sfs kernel sources http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... _noPAE.sfs . You need to first install the devx and kernel sources and then Virtualbox(just click to install and follow on-screen prompts if any).

You are a genius!

Thx! I had tried a few times to get VirtualBox working in my puppy derivative (LxPup 16.07) to no avail

I had lost almost every hope to make it happen some time ago 'til I found your post and your instructions worked great!

Thanks again!

Virtualbox 4.2.4 doesn't compile on Fatdog 720 Kernel 4.14.6.
Same for 5.2.4.

Any way out?

Sincerely,

perdido excellent SFS!! will be very handy and is the latest. sure beats going through all those steps when one can just load up an SFS!!

James186282 · #214 Post by **James186282** » Wed 07 Nov 2018, 04:43

I've driven myself up a wall trying to get VirtualBox running on XenialPup. I'm sure its something dumb on my part but I wonder if someone had built an sfs version yet? Help....

I've driven myself up a wall trying to get VirtualBox running on XenialPup

I just downloaded the latest version of VirtualBox ->
https://download.virtualbox.org/virtual ... l_i386.deb

I created a frugal install of Xenial 7.5 32 bit with a 4.18.16 (i686) kernel. I installed the devx for Xenial 7.5 and the kernel sources sfs for the kernel 4.18.6 and then ran

Code: Select all

rcvboxdrv setup

for a test I setup a Corepup virtual machine.

Hi, I'm very new to Puppy Linux, I just installed this distro. I have troubles installing Virtualbox. My puppy a XenialPup64, the kernel version is 4.9.58. I see perdido posted a 32-bit version. Could a 64-bit version be made available? Or maybe better, teach me how to do this process myself?

Take a look at these instructions for 64-bit install in tahr, should be similar.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=114256
Those instructions should install virtualbox to xenial64 also.
Will need the devx and kernel headers packages for xenial 64-bit.
