Install Deb Package On Arch Linux Virtualbox

Show all headers | View raw

You didn't mention your OS. I assume you were on windows 10 and using virtualbox v6.1, also you had Hyper-V feature enabled. 

If the assumption is correct, then the issue was related to Hyper-V. Virtualbox seems performing as "normal" when you have Hyper-V enabled. However, you would find some issues like above. 

 

You may try to disable Hyper-V properly on windows (uninstall this feature). 

Hope this helps and to get this issue resolved.


I did NOT install the linux-firmware and base-devel packages, because my Arch is running in a virtual machine and I don't develop packages. Is this correct?

I received about 10 warnings that some firmware is missing. I think it is for the fallback kernel only and it is irrelevant for a virtual machine. Correct?

I was asking, because more and more packages are integrated into the Linux Kernel.

I just found out that the xf86-video-vmware package is automatically installed from the virtualbox-guest-utils package.


To compile the VirtualBox modules provided by virtualbox-host-dkms, it will also be necessary to install the appropriate headers package(s) for your installed kernel(s) (e.g. linux-lts-headers for linux-lts). [1] When either VirtualBox or the kernel is updated, the kernel modules will be automatically recompiled thanks to the DKMS pacman hook.


virtualbox-host-modules-arch and virtualbox-host-dkms use systemd-modules-load.service to load VirtualBox modules automatically at boot time. For the modules to be loaded after installation, either reboot or load the modules once manually; the list of modules can be found in /usr/lib/modules-load.d/virtualbox-host-modules-arch.conf or /usr/lib/modules-load.d/virtualbox-host-dkms.conf.


It is also recommended to install the virtualbox-guest-iso package on the host running VirtualBox. This package will act as a disc image that can be used to install the guest additions onto guest systems other than Arch Linux. The .iso file will be located at /usr/lib/virtualbox/additions/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso, and may have to be mounted manually inside the virtual machine. Once mounted, you can run the guest additions installer inside the guest.


In order to avoid having to install the guest system manually, some operating systems support unattended installation. This allows the user to configure the system to be installed in VirtualBox's interface prior to starting the machine. At the end of the setup process, the operating system is installed without requiring any further user interaction. This feature requires the virtualbox-unattended-templatesAUR package.


The Oracle Extension Pack provides additional features and is released under a non-free license only available for personal use. To install it, the virtualbox-ext-oracleAUR package is available, and a prebuilt version can be found in the seblu repository.


I've just set up my Arch machine and have installed Virtualbox 5.1.6-1 using pacman. However, there is a bug that I believe I'm hitting on this virtualbox version where my PC's microphone isn't recognized by the Guest OS.






In the AUR, I'm only seeing the virtualbox 5.1.6-1 which I'm currently running.

Is there someplace that I can get the tarball for the older virtualbox and try installing that version? Or is there a way I can get out of the above problem?


The name of virtualbox-host-modules package has changed to virtualbox-host-modules-arch, and therefore the former doesn't exist on repos. I'm also guessing that the host-modules has to be the same version as the virtualbox package (even though the virtualbox package has no versioned dependency apparently).


I want to install the virtualbox guest addition in a guest Archlinux machine. The vbox version is 4.2.10 r84104, and the Arch install media is the latest release 2013.04.01 with systemd as the default program to boot the system.


All you have to do is install virtualbox-guest-utils with pacman. Don't do anything else. Don't even try to install Virtualbox Guest Utils from Virtualbox's menu, and don't mount the iso, that method works with many of the distros, but not with ArchLinux.


Arch doesn't have releases, it's rolling release, so it's wrong to say "with latest Archlinux". And the age of installation medium doesn't affect anything, it just provides programs which are usable while installation, so it doesn't matter if you install arch with installation medium from 2010. You get same versions of programs installed your final arch installation.


In this article, I have shown you how to install VirtualBox from the official package repository of Arch Linux using the Pacman package manager. I have also shown you how to automatically load the VirtualBox kernel module vboxdrv on boot and add your login user to the vboxusers group. I have shown you how to install the VirtualBox Extension Pack as well. About the authorShahriar ShovonFreelancer & Linux System Administrator.

In any case you can install the package without dependencies running makepkg -nodeps, remove the latest version of this package that you have installed running pacman -Rns and then overwriting with makepkg -f


So, with the help of a guided installer, you do not have to install a desktop environment and other essential packages yourself separately. All you have to do is follow the onscreen instructions and choose the options suitable for your installation.


But running sudo pacman -Sy gnupg archlinux-keyring manjaro-keyring will give the same error and the manjaro-keyring package is not necessary as well as manjaro in sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro, as we're running Arch Linux. So the steps to follow are:




For the login screen to show up, I have to enter into chroot from Live USB for uninstalling all VirtualBox Guest Additions packages. I did once. But I depend on VirtualBox Guest Addition for sharing the host's folders.


Unlike a lot of other live distributions, the Arch live environment doesn't come with all necessary packages built into it. It contains a number of bare minimum packages that you can use to install the rest of the system. So, a working internet connection is a must.


The pacstrap script can install packages to a specified new root directory. As you may remember, the root partition was mounted on the /mnt mount point, so that's what you'll use with this script. Then you'll pass the package names you want to install:


I would like to clarify that this list of seven packages is not something mandatory. To have a functional Arch Linux installation, you just need the base, linux, and linux-firmware packages. But considering you'll need the other ones anyway, why not catch 'em all in one go.


Configuring a network manually in any Linux distribution can be tricky. That's why I advised you to install the networkmanager package during the system installation. If you did as I said, you're good to go. Otherwise, use pacman to install the package now:


You can more or less use this command verbatim. You can change the --bootloader-id to something more expressive like arch or something else. If the installation finishes without any errors, you'll then have to generate the GRUB configuration file.


During the installation, you'll be offered multiple choices for pipwire-session-manager and emoji-font packages. Accept the defaults by hitting Enter in both prompts. The installation may take some time to finish.


During the installation, you'll get multiple choices for ttf-font, pipwire-session-manager, and phonon-qt5-backend packages. Make sure to pick noto-fonts as your ttf-font and accept the defaults for the other two.


AUR is one of the most attractive features of Arch Linux. It's due to AUR that Arch Linux has a package count almost equal to Debian. You've already used pacman to install various packages. Sadly, you can not use that to install packages from AUR.


You'll have to install one of the AUR helpers instead. Arch Linux doesn't support any of these helpers and advises you to learn how to build packages manually. I'll explain both techniques here. If you understand how a helper works, you'll be able to do it manually as well.


You can not install yay like other packages. You'll have to get the source code and compile the program. You'll need git and the base-devel package to do so. Assuming you've already installed base-devel during Arch Linux installation:
