Unable to install extension pack for 5.0.8

Post by DMCorsa »

I am running on openSUSE 13.2 64bit. I downloaded the 5.0.8 Virtual Box version and installed it. When I try to install the extension pack for it (5.0.8-103449) i get the following error. Any ideas?

Failed to install the Extension Pack /data/App_Software/InstalledRPMS/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.8-103449.vbox-extpack.

The installer failed with exit code 127: Error creating textual authentication agent: Error opening current controlling terminal for the process (`/dev/tty'): No such device or address.

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: ExtPackManagerWrap
Interface: IExtPackManager {edba9d10-45d8-b440-1712-46ac0c9bc4c5}

Per bug 5063
VB expects Gnome to be your window manager. manually running

Code: Select all

/usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
starts the gnome password daemon to allow the extensions to install after root authentication
