Need help [Solved]

[Infusion]

Hey all,im new on Sabayon-linux. I had opensuse 11.1 before,but in tirde about the silly packetmanager.
So i tried Sabayon.
Now i got a Problem. How con i start VirtualBox? In opensuse i had an Entry under my Tools,but not under Sabayon.
Or i am to blind to find it?

You should use the package manager, try:

Code: Select all

equo search virtualbox


[genfool]

some good info here, scroll down to virtual machines and take a look.
The wiki has lots of good info.

The wiki could help you:
http://wiki.sabayonlinux.org/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Using_Virtualbox#Entropy_Way
You have to install:

Code: Select all

equo install --ask virtualbox-bin


and follow that howto.

If it's not in your menu (under system, "Sun xVM VirtualBox"), open a terminal and type

Code: Select all

VirtualBox

and press enter (Make sure you use the capital V and B).

[ajez]

and u need to run on a terminal as root:

Code: Select all

 modprobe vboxdrv

before u can use VirtualBox

THX @all for the Answers. I tried all these things and i doesnt work and VirtualBox wasnt starting.
But i solved my problem. Over Sulfur i was deinstalling all Packages from Virtualbox.
I was downloading the VirtualBox from SUN and was using these way http://wiki.sabayonlinux.org/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Install_VirtualBox_%28Proprietary%29 and it works like a charm now!
