Starting Virtalbox on Netrunner OS Rolling not working

Post by Sandersson »

Hi.

I am for the first time in my lift trying VirtualBox.

My system is a Lenovo laptop running Netrunner OS Rolling (KDE / ARCH / Manjaro).

I have mannaged to installe Virtualbox 4.3.18-1, and would now like to try to make a Windows 7 system.

I have startet the Windows machine and pointet it to my dvd where I have the Windows ISO.

But I am getting some errors saying;

Could not open the session, the session has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1)

Rerut kode: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Komponent: Machine
Kort: IMachine {480cf695-2d8d-4256-9c7c-cce4184fa048}


And then
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

Please reininstall the kernel module by executing
pacman -s virtualbox-host-modules

I have tried the last thing, but that do not help?

Please note that I am no tect pro.

I like to thank you in advanced.

OK, found a solution my selv.

If anybody meets same problem - try to

In your BIOS, enable Virtualisation teknologi

Then run

sudo pacman -S virtualbox

and
uname -r

This shows 3.14.21-1-MANJARO

Then take the first 3 numbers and enter

sudo pacman -S linux314-virtualbox-host-modules

And then run

sudo modprobe vboxdrv

And now it works.
