Template: virtualbox-ose/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-ose/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-ose/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= in /etc/default/virtualbox-ose. The compilation can also be done later by executing /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup as root. Template: virtualbox-ose/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 Template: virtualbox-ose/update_version_change Type: boolean Default: false Description: Proceed with VirtualBox upgrade? You are about to update VirtualBox to a new upstream version. Make sure to discard or merge all snapshots and saved states before you proceed because VM states are version specific. Template: virtualbox-ose/old-installation-found Type: note Description: Old installation found An old installation of VirtualBox was found. To install this package the old package has to be removed first. Have a look at /etc/vbox/vbox.cfg to determine the installation directory of the previous installation. After uninstalling the old package remove the file /etc/vbox/vbox.cfg.
