[SOLVED] virtualbox-ose.tcz installation error

[nomer]

I'm trying to install virtualbox-ose.tcz, but it doesn't work.
When I enter "tce-load -w virtualbox-ose.tcz" on the command line, I get this:

Downloading: virtualbox-ose-modules-3.0.21-tinycore.tcz
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Connecting to distro.ibiblio.org (152.19.134.43:80)
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
md5sum: virtualbox-ose-modules-3.0.21-tinycore.tcz.md5.txt: No such file or directory
Error on virtualbox-ose-modules-3.0.21-tinycore.tcz

The only file that gets added to /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional is virtualbox-ose.tcz.dep
The contents of this file are as follows:

virtualbox-ose-modules-KERNEL.tcz
libasound.tcz
libvncserver.tcz
libcap.tcz
libxslt.tcz
libIDL.tcz
SDL.tcz
curl.tcz
libssl-0.9.8.tcz
qt-4.x-xml.tcz
qt-4.x-opengl.tcz
python.tcz
procps.tcz
eglibc_apps.tcz

It seems the "KERNEL" on the first line gets turned into "3.0.21-tinycore" when tce-load gets run.

Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Hi nomer
I'm pretty sure this has been mentioned in the forum several times before. There currently is no
3.0.21 version, only a 3.0.3 version.

FWIW I just uploaded both module extensions to the repo, but since I'm not a user of VirtualBox, please feel free to test and report problems

@Rich: For some reason, it didn't cross my mind that I should search the forum for similar errors. Sorry about that.
            I've found some results and may give the script I found a try.
@gutmensch: Okay, that is cool. I'm not seeing it in appbrowser yet, but if/when it does I'll give it a try.

Thanks,

Hi nomer
I just checked and I see  virtualbox-ose-modules-3.0.21-tinycore.tcz  as well as
virtualbox-ose-additions-modules-3.0.21-tinycore.tcz  in AppBrowser.

Yeah, I wasn't logged in as tc and since /tmp/tags.db was already created the user couldn't update the tags.
I've now successfully installed virtualbox-ose.tcz
I didn't notice the fact that I need Xorg working first. I suppose I'll have to get that Xorg working before I try to get VBox working. (I've been using Xvesa.)
Maybe I should just try using qemu.tcz or qemu-kvm.tcz ......

Thanks for your help,
Nomer

Hi,
I just wanted to say that I finally did get Xorg 7.6 running and after that VirtualBox runs great.
Cheers,
