Dear Agrouf,
the site you are telling me "http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads" has rpm available for this package, but when I install through an rpm it gives me the dependencies error messages, that some other packages are required for installing this package. that way I was try to install through yum command, how to add this site "http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads" as repository for yum command, so that it can be installed. Regards, Akram |
yum localinstall VirtualBox*.rpm
|
Install all the dependency packages, then install rpm package from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

Edit: Deleted - Wrong thread
btw, yum localinstall manages dependencies |

It looks like a problem with Qt libraries (someone reported an incompatibility between some versions of VirtualBox and the installed Qt libraries). What is the output from the following commands?
Code:
ldd /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so |

The release of qt4 is a bit old. The last update for fedora 8 was 4.4.3. Try the following:
Code:
# yum install fedora-release Code:
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup |

How to configure the serial port of my virtual machine with host machine.
2 Attachment(s)
Dear Friends,
I successfully installed the virtual box on my fedora 8 system, and also created a virtual machine with windows xp OS, it works nicely, I try to configure the serial port of my virtual machine and try to configure the path for the port "screen shot are attached" it gives me the error message also the "screen shot are attached" for your review. Is kind of mistake is going on during the path setting, and how to set the path for configuring the serial port of my virtual machine so that I can use the hyper terminal tool of windows. Thanks in advanced. Regards, Akram. |
I have not enabled serial ports in my virtualbox installation, anyway the Port Path looks incorrect. Try to set it either to "COM1" or "/dev/ttyS0" and see if it can find the device. Also be sure the user on the Linux host belongs to the group "tty", among the others.
