Virtualbox-guest-modules: Requires Linux<4.0

I use Redhat 6.3 , when I install run "yum install vsftpd" , it pops the following error, does it mean the library is not support , I have to update the kernel ? thanks

Code:

Hello all.

I'm using RHEL 6.5 Workstation and have a single RHEL system connected to the internet do download rpms based on Security Notices from Red Hat. While on the RHEL system and internet I perform the below:

yum install --downloadonly --resolve --downloaddir=<directory> <package>

My goal is to ensure I capture any dependencies (which is a nightmare)and thus I use the --resolve. When I update my RHEL systems not connected to the internet I perform a yum update. For some yum updates it's goes pretty smooth but for others I'm constantly getting errors about conflicts or other similar errors. An example of when yum updates don't work can be seen below:

Is there something I'm not doing correctly? Again some work and some do not, as seen above the example where it does not work. Is this a larger problem? Although I'm using RHEL 6.5 on the system where I obtain my security updates are my RHEL 6.5 systems which are not connected to the internet so different (in regards to what files are installed) that dependencies differ greatly and I'm not fully appreciating the environment for my off-line systems?

A million thanks in advance,
Johnny Mac

Hello

I'm trying to install arch based distro antergos on my system. I have slow but stable internet connection (512 kbps). But unfortunately, in the area I live, there is frequent power cuts. This is creating problem for me. It takes at least 4-5 hours to install antergos linux. Every time installation almost finishes, there will be a power cut, and i have to start it again. This happened 4-5 times, and i have wasted 2 days just trying to install this distro. Still unsuccessful. This incomplete installed linux boots to 'Grub Rescue' screen.

Is there any way I can continue installation from where it went down?

Really be grateful, if someone tells me how, or atleast redirect me to any knowledge base.

Thanks

Hi All

I'm trying to bring virtual guest from headless mode to gui mode in VirtualBox. But I don't know how to do it. I really appreciate if someone help me on this.

I usually run linux virtual machines in headless mode and connect to it through ssh. I have setup tigervnc-server on linux virtual machine, so that i can connect through vncviewer whenever i want to work on gui.

But recently, one of my friend said, I can also start virtual machine in headless mode in VirtualBox window by holding <SHIFT> key and press Start. Sure it did, it started in headless mode. But, now I don't know how to bring back window again.

Thanks you.

I have VirtualBox up and running on my headless Centos 6 machine, am using http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpvirtualbox/ as a GUI, and created a virtual machine and installed Windows 7 on it.

I can access it using the VirtualBox console (via phpvirtualbox interface), however, only can see part of the screen and the mouse doesn't work properly. I can also access it using Windows Remote Desktop Connection using IP 192.168.1.200:9000 (why port 9000?), but again the mouse doesn't work.

I have the following ext packs installed on the server.

Do I need additional extensions to better interact with the guest? How are they installed? Thank you

How to install Virtualbox Guest Additions on centOS via Command Line Only? Please help!

Hi, I am trying to install a smartcard reader driver onto my ubuntu machine. I am not able run the make file.

The output of makefile is as follows:
Code:

Hi there everybody,

I am getting really frustrated on a far to trivial problem. I am running ubuntu in virtual box on a windows 7 64bit machine. By default the screen has a resolution of 640x480 and thus only shows the upper left corner of the actual screen, meaning I can't see the entire screen. I was able to figure out, that I have to install guest additions but as soon as I go to devices -> install guest additions I get an error, that the medium couldn't be placed into the drive. It further asks me whether I want to force it to be mounted but if I say "yes" nothing else happens.

Any chance there is a simple way to solve this problem or is this really such a complicated issue?

Furthermore I would prevent linux from going into standby. Actually the settings say, that it will never go to suspend but it does so after it wasn't used for approx=. 5minutes or so.

Thank you guys very much for helping me getting rid of my newbeness :P

hi guys,

just a quick one on virtualbox...

could i have centos 7 running virtual box...then host another 3 vm's on it that are running live at the same time?
or is this best for vmware?

i would like centos 7
then another centos7 vm
debian vm
slackware vm (headless)

its a i5 with 8gb RAM...the vm's wont be doing much work,prob ssh into each to setup things and experiment
maybe run a couple of small wordpress web sites...nothing drastic...

any advice on the best way to get this result?
