Good evening list! :)
I'm searching for two answers regarding two questions. [and there are two "P.S."'s]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q1: How can i list all the available kernel modules?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q2: I want to install VirtualBox on Fedora 14 [->how could i download the kernel source?]:
wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O oracle_vbox.asc
rpm --import oracle_vbox.asc
rm oracle_vbox.asc virtualbox.rpm
Everything OK so far...
wget $(wget -q "http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads" -O - | perl -ne 'print "$1\n" while (/href="" | awk '/fedora14/ && /686/ {print}') -O virtualbox.rpm
rpm -i virtualbox.rpm
You're making things hard on yourself. Follow this link[1] and setup the yum repository. Then installing is as simple as:
# yum install VirtualBox-3.2
The other packages you need is the kernel headers (not the whole source) and dkms (dynamic kernel module support), i.e.:
# yum install kernel-devel dkms
And then, the fun part:
# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
[snip]
Try "service vboxdrv setup" instead. Not really the problem but from what I've read it's a more appropriate method.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S. 1: This is not working [bug on virtualbox.org website? ]:
# wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | rpm --import -
error: -: import read failed(-1).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S. 2: When i wanted to install VirtualBox, i tried this [when running in to the kernel source "issue"]:
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red-hat-fedora-linux/20689-donwload-kernel-source-using-yum.html#post549910
But when i'm here:
# yumdownloader -e core-source -e updates-source --source kernel
Usage: "yumdownloader [options] package1 [package2] [package..]
CRITICAL:yum.cli:Command line error: option -e: invalid integer value: 'core-source'
..it gives an error :O so i wanted to:
yum remove rpmdevtools yum-utils
->
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Y8y0YjLG
Is it safe to remove "anaconda"?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You don't want to just download it, you want to install it. But as I said, you don't need the whole source, just the headers which is provided by the kernel-devel package.
Thank you in advance! :\ [sorry, i'm a beginner in Fedora :\ ]
No problem!
