I don't know how to fix this.

You don't seem to have the headers that match your running kernel.

they say they are matching. maybe they lied.

Code: Select all

/usr/src/linux-headers-3.0.0-ck1-solusos/arch/x86/Makefile_32.cpu: No such file or directory

Well something is out of place. Either they are not installed or they do so in a manor that it not usual to most Linux distros.
Maybe you should ask them what the issue might be. I did a quick check and all I found related to VirtualBox was that solusos was still in development and they suggest how to install the OS using pae but nothing about installing the guest additions.

thanks Perry. I know they had trouble getting the 3.2 Kernel working. I installed an older Kernel and Headers and the additions build fine.

I have now resolved the issue with the headers. It's an issue with using the kernel-package
build system, which I've never been truly happy with. Instead I've created a new package,

Code: Select all

solusos-headers

This provides the missing Makefile_32.cpu, and depends on the correct 3.0.0-ck1-solusos
kernel headers package, so you'll now be able to build the kernel module and any required
drivers. My apologies for this issue, it shouldn't have been allowed to happen (I'm kinda
obsessive with quality-control)

To install it, use one of the two following routes (PackageKit or apt)

Code: Select all

pkcon refresh && pkcon install solusos-headers

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install solusos-headers

I personally prefer the less verbose option

Thanks a million for reporting the issue, any further issues please report on the SolusOS Forums
or our launchpad page

The launchpad situation is only temporary btw, I personally abhor the system, and once I
gain another host I'll be using a dedicated solution.

Again, thank you for your time

Kind Regards,

thanks I'll try it.

didn't work

Fixed in latest builds, i.e. RC1

solusos-headers package included by default, vbox guest attions builds correctly, and virtualbox-4.1 in repos.
