After and entire dan, much googling, youtubing and hitting forums, I still can't get VirtualBox to work.. Can someone please tell me what the hell I'm doing wrong?
Hi guys, please believe me when I say, I've tried every string ove words in google to try and get a solution to my problem. I followed http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com... step by step, word for word, copy, paste, and no love was had. I tried others too, uninstalled VirtualBox, installed dmsg first, then tried again, the uninstalled and cleaned again, updated the repo, tried again, and all I ever get whenever I want to power up my virtual machine is:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine victim.
The virtual machine 'victim' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {f30138d4-e5ea-4b3a-8858-a059de4c93fd}
I get this is a kernel issue, I just can't seem to get it right. I tried everything from the official method on the Oracle site to an after market dodgy work around here http://gorka.eguileor.com/vbox-vmware... Please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? My head hurts from fighting this crap now :(
Well, since it is VirtualBox, will start with the real issue, Fedora Update its kernels faster and Virtualbox so they always are behind with their kernel modules, so you must use and old Fedora kernel in order to make it work. With their method. You can also try rpmfusion.org method, but for the amount of complain here about it nor sure it works as the same happen to them. So my suggestion is give Fedora kvm manage with virt-manager or gnome-boxes a try it works with all virtualization, plus no issue with updates.
Is there a specific reason that you must use Virtualbox?
you using secure boot?
