I can't really look now. The way I got it to install successfully was to apt-get the generic one and let its dependency on virtualbox pull in the rest of the stuff. If I try to aptitude install -s virtualbox-ose now, it says nothing to install because my manual installation of the generic one has already satisfied it. <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 5:58 PM, Daniel Hahler <<a href="mailto:ubuntu+lists@thequod.de">ubuntu+lists@thequod.de</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="Ih2E3d">On Sunday 23 March 2008 05:36:23 Mackenzie Morgan wrote: > On the 21st (or 20th....UTC makes Launchpad say funny things), you marked > this fixed, but I'm still having this problem. </div>Do you still have that problem? I think the fixed packages may have just not been distributed by the time you were still experiencing it. Have you checked that you were using the fixed version(s)? If it's still a problem, please file a new bug (or re-open an existing one) and provide the output of "dpkg -l | grep virtualbox". The version where it has been fixed are mentioned in the bug report. Please note, that it has only been fixed for new installs of virtualbox-ose: if the 386 kernel image has been pulled in already, it will stay installed of course: you can just uninstall the linux-image-*-386 packages in this case. Cheers, Daniel. <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> > > On Tue, Mar 18, 2008 at 8:42 PM, Daniel Hahler <<a href="mailto:ubuntu+lists@thequod.de">ubuntu+lists@thequod.de</a>> > > wrote: > > Hello, > > > > there's a major problem when installing virtualbox-ose or > > virtualbox-ose-guest-utils in Hardy. > > > > These packages each depend on a virtual package (virtualbox-ose-modules > > and virtualbox-ose-guest-modules). > > > > These virtual packages get provided by packages, which themselves depend > > on linux-image-$ABI-$FLAVOR. > > > > Now, when installing virtualbox-ose-guest-utils on a system with the > > "generic" kernel being used/installed, apt does not recognized that > > using virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-2.6.24-12-generic would be the better > > match, but uses the first available "-386" instead. > > > > So, when users install virtualbox-ose or the guest modules, they are > > likely installing an additional kernel image, which isn't required at > > all and causes confusion/problems on the next boot (e.g. wireless > > broken). > > > > This does not affect users with "generic" kernels on amd64, because > > there's no 386 flavor available for them. > > > > More details are available on: <a href="https://launchpad.net/bugs/188579" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/bugs/188579</a> > > > > Any ideas how this can get fixed? > > > > > > Thanks for reading and thinking about it. > > > > Happy hacking, > > Daniel. > > > > -- > > <a href="http://daniel.hahler.de/" target="_blank">http://daniel.hahler.de/</a> > > > > -- > > Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list > > <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com</a> > > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > > <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> -- Mackenzie Morgan Linux User #432169 ACM Member #3445683 <a href="http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com">http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com</a> <-my blog of Ubuntu stuff apt-get moo
