Virtual Box and Kernel 4.0

[terroreek]

As a heads up and FYI, Virtualbox DKMS host and guest modules will not build on 4.0.  As well there seems to be some stability issues with it.

Here's the issue in question; https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/13835.  Apparently the Virtualbox test repo contains the necessary fixes, I don't use them so I cannot confirm.

FYI nvidia-driver from experimental/user also does not built on 4.0...

Thank you for the heads up on that one.

Driver from our repos does work with kernel 4.0, use 349.12 or 340.76 from us!

i did a very hasty d-u this morning, and switched back to the previous kernel...will try upgrade the driver laterz
thanks

I did a d-u now and the v-box modules were no build. Shall I do something manual for getting the fixed v-box from siduction extras repo, it is already enabled in my siduction.list?

hi again,
i also have a thing with the nvidia-driver, towo says to get  340.76 from siduction but i do not see it

can someone please post the correct sources list of siduction, coming from debian testing , so many sources can be confusing, i picked the source from here .. so this is mine

I have no problems with nvidia drivers from experimental (yet) so people want stable use the way towo says


First, do a dist-upgrade, then

Code: [Select]

apt-get install linux-image-4.0.0-towo.1-siduction-amd64 linux-headers-4.0.0-towo.1-siduction-amd64
Reboot, then

Code: [Select]

apt-get install -t experimental nvidia-driver nvidia-settings libgl1-nvidia-glx-i386
If NOT running multi-arch, you don't need libgl1-nvidia-glx-i386

The results will give you

For vbox, all I did was

Code: [Select]

apt-get install -t experimental virtualbox virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-source virtualbox-qt virtualbox-guest-additions-iso

Virtualbox is in the contrib section, so if you have just the "main" section enabled in your sources.list you won't be able to install our vitrualbox, you need this:

Code: [Select]

deb http://packages.siduction.org/extra unstable main contribor this

Code: [Select]

Thank you Santa, that did it, Virtualbox is working again.

I thought the latest 3.x kernels have been rc-candidates for 4.0 and that there wouldn’t be any major steps from the late kernel 3.x to 4.0?

[terroreek]

Virtualbox from debian experimental works and towto's nvidia drivers from experimental works like a charm.
