Linux From Scratch 7.10 - Guest Additions Installation

Post by KOemxe »

Hello everyone! I am doing an LFS project for my current employer, and I noticed that when I use the "startx" command in the CLI I can, in fact, load the test GUI with the default test WM manager.

However, I noticed that when I check "Xorg.0.log," I see

Code: Select all

(EE) vboxvideo: module ABI major version (18) doesn't match the server's version (23)
I've tried probing around online to see how the vboxvideo module loads it's library, I know it loads when I boot the kernel:

Code: Select all

vboxvideo 0000:00:02.0: fb0: vboxdrmfb frame buffer device
[drm] Initialized vboxvideo 1.0.0 20130823 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 1
Initially when I tried startx it said the module was missing, and then I tried copying different versions of the vboxvideo library over with no luck.

Is this something to worry about? Do I just go on and build the GUI for this system? I'm building this system in VirtualBox but I am going to be deploying it to a computer on FOGG - I would however like to know that the XFCE window manager and whatnot that I install work properly when I finish before deploying.

Thanks in advance!
