I have used Sabayon off and on for three plus years but just used it and never really went under the hood/bonnet so to speak.
I only remember using emerge once. My questions being
1. Do My final emerge messages indicate a problem with my system or ports?
2. One message says "config files in '/etc' need updating" ...What? Why?
3. Would someone could comment on the results of my attempt to install VirtualBoX
....and how to best correct my attempt it would be Appreciated?
So I followed the instructions on
http://wiki.sabayonlinux.org/index.php? ... Virtualbox
The steps in a Terminal were
1: emerge --sync && layman -S
2: rmmod vboxdrv
3: emerge -C virtualbox
OR
3a: emerge -C virtualbox-bin
if you pulled an error trying to unmerge just using virtualbox as the package name
4: USE="additions" emerge virtualbox-bin
5: modprobe vboxdrv
6: useradd -G vboxusers YOUR_USER_NAME
I had errors in the first three steps. The first step provided a lenghty message at the end so I will
post the first step results last to make the post more readable.
Here are the other steps results.
- Code: Select all
sqlpython # rmmod vboxdrv
ERROR: Module vboxdrv does not exist in /proc/modules
sqlpython # emerge -C virtualbox
--- Couldn't find 'virtualbox' to unmerge.
>>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge
- Code: Select all
emerge --sync && layman -S
In the end I ended up with... Any input is appreciated.
