[SOLVED] Problem running Virtual box

max_arbit · 08-17-2010, 10:34 PM

Hi,

I have Slackware 13.0 on my machine and am trying to install and run Virtual Box (3.2.6) on it. The whole installation process seemed to work OK. However, now when I try running "VirtualBox", I end up with the following error:

Code:

VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so: undefined symbol: _ZN8QPainter10drawPixmapERK7QPointFRK7QPixmap

I tried googling for some more info on this, but to no avail. Can anybody let me know what might be the problem?
Thanks

Before starting VirtualBox must be loaded 3 kernel modules, compiled at intallation time.
Check typing:

Quote:

lsmod

inside a shell and verify on top list vboxnetadp, vboxnetflt and vboxdrv modules.

Check all these kernel modules are successfully loaded.

It seems to be loaded fine :-( -

Hi,

I am still trying to figure out how to get away with this problem. Any other ideas of how could make this thing work?
I still keep getting the message:

VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so: undefined symbol: _ZN8QPainter10drawPixmapERK7QPointFRK7QPixmap

I checked the kernel modules and they seem to be loaded successfully.

Can anybody help me here?

I've googled that error message. It's turned up on other distros, too. But I couldn't find any definite solution that would work on all of them. Have you got the PUEL or OSE version of VirtualBox? I've had no problems with the PUEL version (3.2.8 now).

I have got the OSE version (which I found on the slackbuilds website). I have tried both 3.1.6 and 3.2.6 versions and both end up with the same error. I have Slackware 13.0 and not sure if that could be some kind of problem. Where do I find the PUEL version (is there something similar to slackbuilds)?
I tried googling for the error too and found on one of the Fedora forums that you have to install some system updates and then VirtualBox started working. Not sure what updates exactly though!

It looks like the VirtualBox shared library can't determine the location of the QPainter interface. Perhaps your Qt library is either the wrong version for this compilation of VirtualBox or you need to install qt?

Get the PUEL version here:
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
You'll want the All Distributions, i386 one. When you've got it, run (as root, in the directory you downloaded it to):

Code:

chmod +x VirtualBox-3.2.8-64453-Linux_x86.run

then:

Code:

./VirtualBox-3.2.8-64453-Linux_x86.run

It might automatically remove your previous VBox install, it does when updating the PUEL releases.
One advantage of the PUEL version is the USB support.

It works! PUEL did the trick for me and quite easily too. Just took two minutes and it's done! Thanks a lot!
