never mind, that bug is fixed now, or should be.
You can tell easily, simply start svmi, then look in the options: :: Code :: 10 - install-vbox-addons Downloads vbox guest additions iso. Helps with driver installation,
For both ose and non-ose. Highly recommended. Will download the version (>1.6.0) for your currently installed virtualbox-ose: 2.2.4 You should see there listed your running version, numerically, that's the same data that the addons section uses, if that is null, it's still not fixed, if you see your version listed, it's fixed.

actually, that should not have failed at all, can you also show me this data:
apt-cache search ^virtualbox-[2-9]\.[0-9] | awk '{print $1}' | cut -d '-' -f 2 that should show 3.0 Back to top |
Removing of old kernel together with their modules + headers
Hi,
I am not sure whether this feature is already in smxi and I am just too blind to find it. I am using sidux and used until now i used siduxcc to remove the older sidux-kernels. Now I have started to try the liquorix kernels and found that I have to remove the older ones manually as siduxcc seems only to take care of the sidux-kernels. I can get around with that but would rather be able to remove older kernels together with their modules and headers completely from within smxi. For the case that this already implemented, please give me a hint how I can find/access this function. regards Reiner Back to top |

I think I have found the problem. I had this repo enabled in my sources.list.
:: Code ::
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lenny non-free I removed it, removed VB and installed non-ose via svmi and the guest additions. So I guess if the repo is enabled, svmi will not install guest additions, but will install VB. Back to top |
hmm, the problem is in identifying which version is in place, in theory, it shouldn't matter, but can you re-enable those repos, then do apt update, then show this:
apt-cache search ^virtualbox-[2-9]\.[0-9] | awk '{print $1}' | cut -d '-' -f 2 paste in that information, then show: dpkg -l | grep -i virtualbox then show: apt-cache policy virtualbox OR apt-cache policy virtualbox-<the results of step 1> Back to top |
h2 here you are.

There's a problem in d-u with libuniconf4.6 and wvdial. According to sidux forums, and my own experience, you need to purge libuniconf4.4 first, then install 4.6.
I was wondering if smxi can, in some way, handle this situation? I mean, not hard to do without smxi if you know what you are doing, but the purge needs to be done with dpkg, not apt. Thanks. Back to top |
that fix is already in smxi, though I used apt to purge.

lx viewer
Hi techadmin, I was wondering if you would be able to add lxviewer to smxi, as it is not available in debian repos though it seems to be available pre-compiled for rpm distros.
lx-viewer.sourceforge.net/ to the home page. Here is a lx-viewer.sourceforge.net/faq.php to their faqs page, which goes a bit over my head: Cad support is very sketchy in linux and it would be great to be able to install this easily through smxi Thanks, Mike Back to top |
