Installazione VirtualBox

Da MeteOceanWiki.

You can install VirtualBox from YAST.

After that you could be interested in mounting Windows. You can download a copy of Windows from

If your system adhers to the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface

you have to enter in BIOS setup when you start your computer (try to press F1 keyboard). Inside the BIOS you have to look for something like:

"activate the possibility to boot an image" and turn the flag on.

After that you have to go inside the file /etc/group and add your username to the group vboxusers. Now your user is allowed to run VirtualBox. Try to run VirtualBox. If you get an error like: "Kernel drive not found" run:

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Don't forget to install extensions and add-ons to read, for example, a usb stick.

In addition, in order to have your VirtualBOX reading USB sticks you have to go inside the file: /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules

and uncomment the following lines:

KERNEL=="vboxdrv", NAME="vboxdrv", OWNER="root", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0660"

these lines below give access permission to vboxusers to properly work with usb nodes, but enabling them could be security risk (bnc#664520) !! if you can live with this security problem put these lines below in to the new file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules so they will stay enabled also after package update SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/lib/udev/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh $major $minor $attr{bDeviceClass} vboxusers" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", RUN+="/usr/lib/udev/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh $major $minor $attr{bDeviceClass} vboxusers" SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/usr/lib/udev/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh --remove $major $minor" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="remove", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", RUN+="/usr/lib/udev/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh --remove $major

Everything should work now.

At least I hope!
