Problems with Virtualbox OSE Installation
« on: May 14, 2010, 12:21:56 AM »
Running PCLinuxOS 2010 Gnome

Installed Virtualbox OSE from the repo. It shows up in the Applications menu under "Emulators" but on clicking the icon, nothing comes up.

There is an installation report generated as follows:

Apparently the folder .Virtualbox is not created after installation.

Need some help to sort this out  :(

Thanks.

Reboot your system so the kernel drivers can load at boot.

Thanks to everyone who donates. You keep the servers running.

The folder .Virtualbox is not created upon installation and therein lies the problem.
