Installing VirtualBox

Postby jimbobfurley » Wed Sep 19, 2012 14:43

Just installed Sabayon 10 and am attempting to install VirtualBox but don't seem to be having any luck. (I read the Entropy wiki entry, followed all of the steps detailed within it, BTW.) Installed the 'Virtualbox Modules', 'Virtualbox Bin', and 'Virtualbox Guest Additions', yet I still don't see an executable appear from the main menu. Am I missing something ?

Thanks,
Travis

you can added it to the menu if it's not there, did you try logging out and than back in first?

yes. Somehow sometimes that can happen.
Usually like Wolfden said, logging out and back in could help. Or adding it to the menu yourself.
You can try to run from the commandline: VirtualBox (watch the Capitals)
if command not found, simply reinstall the virtualbox-bin package, and then it should work and for sure appear in the menu.
(that's also explained on the VirtualBox Wiki page)
