Re problems with virtualbox

[Ralf Mardorf]

In reply to your off-list email.

Don't use a Ctrl+Alt+Fx terminal. I suspect by default gnome-terminal is
installed, so use the menu of your desktop environment and launch a GUI
terminal, which likely is gnome-terminal. Copy and paste of your mailer
"Thunderbird" likely works as usual. Select the command with the mouse
and push Ctrl+Alt+C to copy it. In the gnome-terminal push Shift+Ctrl+V
to paste it, do _not_ push the common Ctrl+Alt+V.


VirtualBox --help | head -1 >/tmp/log.txt 2>&1
uname -r >>/tmp/log.txt 2>&1 
dkms status >>/tmp/log.txt 2>&1
dkms status | grep $(uname -r) | grep $(VirtualBox --help | head -1 | cut -d" " -f5) >>/tmp/log.txt 2>&1
apt list '*virtualbox*' >>/tmp/log.txt 2>&1


After running those commands, there should be a file named   log.txt  
in the directory   /tmp   .

With an editor open the file, if gedit should be available, then run

gedit /tmp/log.txt

and take a look, if the file's content is something you could post to
the list. It should be human readable and it shouldn't contain bank
account data ;). If everything should be ok, than attach it to your
reply.
