virtualbox.org

Hi folks,
i've installed "Virtualbox-OSE 1.5.6-dfsg-6ubuntu" and "virtualbox-OSE-modules-2.6.24-386" on my ubuntu 8.04.
After rebooting neither sound nor internet is working....

i suppose that these are two different problems, having internet would make fixing sound much more easier... so thats where i started:

I've compared /etc/network/interfaces with a older working version:
in front of some "iface" lines there has been added a "#"
removing them didn't help

other suggestions?

thanks in advance

in case someones interested, my /etc/network/interfaces:

Do you have internet access on your host ? (Ubuntu?)

What type of connection are you trying from your host, NAT or Host Interface ?

my host is ubuntu
internet and sound is not working in ubuntu
i havent tried the virtual machin yet....
i'll give it a try this evening

ubuntu should be using a "normal" internet connection - but i dont know much yet about that stuff....

I'm no expert but you can take a loot at my interfaces file:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.9
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.253

This is for a wired connection, wireless is still a problem for me.
A good source of info is http://www.ubuntuforums.org and if you have access to IRC there is a support channel on irc.freenode.net called Ubuntu where the guys are generally pretty helpful.

Good luck

i know that this interfaces file was working...
virtualbox obviously has changed some other things i didn't get rid of yet / have know clue what or where

" Re: No Sound and wifi after install of virtualbox
I had an identical problem last night, when I did a modprobe for my wifi module, it came up blank. So I checked grub during boot and found that Virtualbox had somehow (probably my fault) set a -386 kernel as default. I booted up, did a gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and commented out the offending kernel. Fixed the problem,I got my wifi and my sound back after another reboot."

fixed my problem...
do not install i386 virtualbox packages on generic kernels!
