Problem with Guest Additions

[Coston]

Hi all.

My machine Windows 7 (64 bit)
My virtual machine Oracle Linux 6 (32 bit)

I install additional packages and run installation GA.
Install - Passed.

I restart my machine. But I can't do fullscreen mode. The button "Host + G" unabled

Help me please. Do you have any idea?
Thank's.

Actually Full screen is host+F. Host+G turns auto resize on and off.

Are you certain that you have actually installed the guest additions and that there were no errors?

Post the following:
/var/log/vboxadd-install.log

[Coston]

I find in other forum, that I should install dkms.
I installed "dkms", and try reinstall GA.

And now I have:

Hello! Thanks for the help.
I attached all my log files in zip archive.
Last evening I got reinstall GA, restart my machine, but I still can not strech my VM on full screen.

Code: Select all

00:00:00.734957 HWACCM: No VT-x or AMD-V CPU extension found. Reason VERR_VMX_MSR_LOCKED_OR_DISABLED

First thing I would do is enable hardware virtualization in your PCs bios. It will make you guest experience a lot better.

Log shows that you have installed the guest additions so it must be related to the guest.

Look at /var/log/VBox*.log files to see what they say.

Hello.
Thank's for the help!
I enabled hardware virtualization in BIOS.
Also I reinstall GA, installiation - passed. The problem has not disappeared.

I look at /var/log/VBox*.log files:
And I see only one strange thing in "VBoxGuestAdditions-uninstall.log" file -
Removing existing VirtualBox DKMS kernel modulesError! There are no instances of module: vboxguest
4.2.12 located in the DKMS tree.

I think something wrong with my DKMS? If that true, how I can resolve this problem?

I attached all /var/log/VBox*.log files.
Thank's.

Remove DKMS and see if the guest additions install properly and work.

You shouldn't need DKMS for the GAs to install and work. It is convenient if you do have it so when ever a kernel upgrade happens you don't need to manually re-build the VBox kernel modules. ( /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup )

[Coston]

Now I uninstall DKMS.
Reinstall the GA. When I reinstall it, I recived the next logs in my console:

Hmm...
"The headers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following

But all modules it's [OK]
I restart my guest machine, but "Host + G" and "Host + L" is disabled

I look in logs file and see in vboxadd-install.log:
test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || ( \
echo; \
echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
echo " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \
echo; \
/bin/false)

What it is means? Shoul I do "Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare'" ?
Logs is attached.

Your problem is missing headers that match your running kernel. What I would do is to install DKMS again now that we know what the problem is and then install the proper headers.
As su / sudo run the following:

Code: Select all

yum install dkms kernel-uek-devel-2.6.39-400.24.1.el6uek.i686

Then install the guest additions again and see if they work properly. (don't forget to reboot after installing the GAs).

[siv@dev-sv ~]$ sudo yum install dkms kernel-uek-devel-2.6.39-400.24.1.el6uek.i686

I download and install latest DKMS from http://linux.dell.com/dkms/

and restart the guest machine

Reinstall the GA's.

Look log files and I don see any strange things.
Do you have any ideas?

Thank's a lot.

Post the /var/log/xorg.0.log

[Coston]

Attached the log

[Perryg]

vboxvideo is not getting loaded. Instead it is running on vbox vesa and that will not do.

Did you install all of the proper packages before hand that you need to compile external modules?
Have you added or checked to see if the public yum repo is active in the yum list?

The Fedora instruction will work for OEL
