Virtual Box on Fedora 12

LATEST RELEASE: 3.2.10

This is a step by step tutorial on how to get VirtualBox 3 up and running on Fedora 12. Specifically, this guide was written using the VirtualBox 3.2.10 version and an i386 CPU (32-bit), but should work with all versions. It can be adapted to upcoming versions and different CPUs (64-bit). The folks at VirtualBox have made it easy to install for Fedora users and I’m going to show you how in a few easy steps. Right, open a terminal window and let’s get to it…

Option 1

  • Become privileged
su -
  • Get the VirtualBox repo installed:
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/virtualbox.repo && cp virtualbox.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
  • Need to invoke the new repo:
yum clean all
yum update
  • Install VirtualBox (along with a few other needed packages)! If you’re having issues here, try installing “kernel-PAE-devel”
yum install -y VirtualBox-3.2 dkms gcc
  • Add yourself to the “vboxusers” group and fix the SELinux Permissions (just in case):
usermod -G vboxusers -a <yourusername>
  • Run, and enjoy!
VirtualBox
