Virtual Box 2.02 on Ubutu " Spawning Session"
Virtual Box 2.02 on Ubutu " Spawning Session"
I have successfully installed V.B 2.02 on to my Ubuntu. I am trying to install windows XP. I have carried out all the preliminary set up details, but when I try to go from powered off to start to start loading XP I get the message " Spawning Session" the machine locks up and I can go no further. Any ideas.

And it keeps on like that.
As I run Xubuntu, I don't have any issue with VB 2.0.x. Runs just fine.

Re: Spawning session
Start Virtualbox press F1 (Help) and search for 'The VirtualBox kernel module'. There go to chapter 2.3.2. If you do, what is described there Virtualbox will run.Sasquatch wrote:Using Google with site filter:

I've got the same problem after I installed vb 2.0.2 , and I noticed that I hadn't loaded vboxdrv module, try this
if you don't see this module loaded it could be reason why vb doesn't work properly. I purged virtualbox and installed it again
maybe it'll help you
Code: Select all
lsmod | grep vboxdrvCode: Select all
apt-get purge virtualbox-2.0
dpkg -i virtual......deb-

I had the same problem with SUSE 11.0. Looking at the virtualbox message log I discovered I had to install "make" and gcc. I also had to install the kernel source and headers. With that done I was able to run the command from the installation manual section 2.3.2: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup and create and install the driver.
I downloaded the version of Virtualbox from the website and then setup my download directory as a repository so when I opened the "Install Software" app in Open SUSE I was able to search and find and install my download. Otherwise SUSE can install the OSE version without USB support. I have Ubuntu installs too.
I hope this helps.
