2Type: note
3Description: Creating group 'vboxusers'
4 Users of VirtualBox must be member of that group in order to have write
5 permissions to /dev/vboxdrv. Otherwise starting of VMs will not be possible.

9Description: Compilation of the kernel module FAILED!
10 VirtualBox will not start until this problem is fixed. Please consult
11 /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out why the kernel module does not compile.
12 Most probably the kernel sources were not found. Install them and execute
13
14 /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
15
16 as root.

21Description: Should the vboxdrv kernel module be compiled now?
22 Unable to find a precompiled module for the current kernel!
23 .
24 Without a suitable kernel module you will never be able to start VMs. It is
25 strongly recommended to compile a kernel module now. The kernel headers and
26 the tools to build kernel modules (gcc, make, binutils, ...) are required.
27 However, in case a suitable kernel module already exists at another place you
28 might want to override the default position by setting KDIR=<full_path_to_vboxdrv_module>
29 in /etc/default/virtualbox-ose. The compilation can also be done later by executing
30
31 /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
32
33 as root.

35Template: virtualbox-ose/delete-old-modules
36Type: boolean
37Default: true
38Description: Delete old modules?
39 Old vboxdrv modules found. It is recommended to purge these modules as they might not
40 work together with this version of VirtualBox. The module re-compilation can be
41 forced later by executing
42
43 /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
44
45 as root
46
47Template: virtualbox-ose/update_version_change
48Type: boolean
49Default: false
50Description: Proceed with VirtualBox upgrade?
51 You are about to update VirtualBox to a new upstream version. Make sure to discard or
52 merge all snapshots and saved states before you proceed because VM states are version
53 specific.
