Problems Upgrading VirtualBox.
« on: July 19, 2009, 01:43:03 PM »

I tried to upgrade VB to the latest using this 'Mandriva Linux VirtualBox-3.0.2_49928_mdv2009.1-1.i586.rpm ' as I could not see one for PCLinuxOS .
Trying to install it with KPackage ,I get

error: Failed dependencies:
   python-base >= 2.6 is needed by VirtualBox-3.0.2_49928_mdv2009.1-1.i586
   libpython2.6.so.1.0 is needed by VirtualBox-3.0.2_49928_mdv2009.1-1.i586
   libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.9) is needed by VirtualBox-3.0.2_49928_mdv2009.1-1.i586
   rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by VirtualBox-3.0.2_49928_mdv2009.1-1.i586
   rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.6-1 is needed by VirtualBox-3.0.2_49928_mdv2009.1-1.i586

These are not in Synaptic !. so how do I get these?.

Another file on the Sun web site was   'VirtualBox-3.0.2-OSE.tar.bz2'   But I cannot open it.

Help please.

Note .  VirtualBox in Synaptic does not support USB, so that's why I have to use the ones from Sun.

There are several possibilities on the VB downloads page, including one for PCLinuxOS 2007. If that doesn't work, then the 'All Distributions' version comes as an installable binary (.run) which might work.

I'm afraid I have no recent experience of VB, so I can't really help, but I rather think that it would be advisable to uninstall your current version before trying to install one of these new ones.

I'm on PCLinuxOS 2009.2 now  :'(  the one above I had installed about two years ago but it's been updated many times since then and you cannot go back to that because of how it works now..
I normally uninstall first with synaptic.
I will try Google for the missing files.
Thanks.

I will take it all back, the one on the download page for PCLinuxOS 2007 does work. ;D

They have updated it but not changed the PCLinuxOS 2007 to PCLinuxOS 2009 which I thought it was still the old one  :'(.

I have installed it ok, I have a problem with the mouse freezing, but I will not let that beat me as I will get it sorted. ;)

I saw it was version 3.0.2 but I didn't know if it would work with PCLOS 2009. :)
