Template: virtualbox/group-vboxusers

Type: note

Description: Creating group 'vboxusers'.

Users of VirtualBox must be member of that group in order to have write

permissions to /dev/vboxdrv. Otherwise starting of VMs will not be possible.

Template: virtualbox/module-compilation-failed

Type: note

Description: Compilation of the kernel module FAILED!

VirtualBox will not start until this problem is fixed. Please consult

/var/log/vbox-install.log to find out why the kernel module does not compile.

Most probably the kernel sources were not found. Install them and execute

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

as root.

Template: virtualbox/module-compilation-allowed

Type: boolean

Default: true

Description: Should the vboxdrv kernel module be compiled now?

Unable to find a precompiled module for the current kernel!

.

Without a suitable kernel module you will never be able to start VMs. It is

strongly recommended to compile a kernel module now. The kernel headers and

the tools to build kernel modules (gcc, make, binutils, ...) are required.

However, in case a suitable kernel module already exists at another place you

might want to override the default position by setting KDIR=<full_path_to_vboxdrv_module>

in /etc/default/virtualbox. The compilation can also be done later by executing

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

as root.

Template: virtualbox/delete-old-modules

Type: boolean

Default: true

Description: Delete old modules?

Old vboxdrv modules found. It is recommended to purge these modules as they might not

work together with this version of VirtualBox. The module re-compilation can be

forced later by executing

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

as root
