Virtualbox install in Devuan
After multiple attempts I'm unable to safely install vbox in chimera,
is debian fastrak a safe solution, my gut tells me NO. How do I add the ceres-contrib repo which is said to have vbox. |
On my last setup I installed VirtualBox on a Debian 11 system following the instructions on the page listed below. That was maybe 4-6 months ago. I do remember having to add that repository and I did not have any problems.
https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox I since moved to QEMU/KVM with the Virtual Machine Manager. |
Thanks,
I will give qemu a try. Vbox has too many install options. |
After installing Devuan in qemu, after 2nd reboot this error comes up.
Code:
Error starting domain: Requested operation is not valid: network 'default' is not active |
Virtualbox on Linux without systemd, is it even possible?

Ever heard of distrowatch.com/slackware
First, my attempt at a useful response to the original poster (@OP):
A web search of the title, simply copy and pasted into the search box, seem to return lots of useful links (but I did not look through them because I don't use this distro) e.g. https://darrengoossens.wordpress.com...seems-to-work/ Quote:
'installing qemu in Devuan'? (KVM etc. is on my to-learn 'list') Quote:
TL;dr (my 5 Second attention span can barely read about a single --switch) but I hope that looooong (mega)thread doesNOT say that: you have to install systemd on slackware to make virtualbox work!!! (I'm sure it doesn't, and maybe you were just joking in the above post. Virtualbox is half my life, so I'm hoping to get it to run on a slackware host, maybe in my next life) @ondoho: I missed you, almost as much as I would miss LQ!!! (I wondered what happened to you... I hope #5 won't cause you to 'disappear' for 2months again) |
Host is Devuan, Guest is Devuan, guest boots up fine while host is running.
When the host is rebooted this box shows up Code:
Error starting domain: requested operation is not valid:network'default' is not active |

*EDIT* sorry didn't notice the post saying almost same thing. |

The Linux-64-bit.run package from virtualbox.org always installs. Of course, you would want to make sure it is a version compatible with the kernel you are running, but that applies to any Linux distribution. At the moment the most recent test build, VirtualBox-6.1.37-152741-Linux_amd64.run, is running on this box with the 6.0-rc2 kernel in Slackware64-current. |
