I installed Virtualbox 4.0.8 in Puppy Lucid 5.2 - when trying to oppen it. nothing happened, no message(s) or the message may disappear too quick.
Please help.

You have to define your virtual machine.
But this is not a puppy issue.

Open a console and type

Code: Select all

# virtualbox

.
Any message?

How did you install (sfs, pet, deb, tar)?

I installed it using deb.
I did what you said and got this message:

WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (2.6.33.2) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: libQtOpenGL.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I did that (minus the sudo) and got another message:

Installing .debs is not ideal in puppy. Puppy will "often" work with them, but not all the time. I would suggest going to PPM and uninstalling the .deb you installed from the virtualbox site, and install the virtualbox made for puppy. If I remember correctly, there is one in quickpet. If not, check this out...
