[[Category:Virtualization]]===[http://www.virtualbox.org VirtualBox] for Fedora 12 Host===__NOTOC__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 3.2.12 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. There are two options for install: <br /># '''VirtualBox repo:''' If you are selective or do not install Fedora updates, this is not the option for you. It will result in installation of ALL Fedora updates that your HDA requires.<br /># '''VirtualBox RPM:''' This will only install the RPM and any required dependencies or dependency updates your HDA requires. It is much faster and will not force ALL Fedora updates like Option 1. === Install Option 1 (VirtualBox Repo) ===* Become privileged('''root''' user):
su -
* Get Install the VirtualBox repo installed (you may need to install wget): <nowiki>wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/virtualbox.repo && cp virtualbox.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/</nowiki>* Enable the new repo: yum clean allyum update* Add dependencies: yum install dkms gcc* Install VirtualBox (along with a few other needed packages)! . If you’re having issues here, try installing “kernel-PAE-devel”see [[VirtualBox#Troubleshooting|Troubleshooting]] section below: yum install -y VirtualBox dkms gcc /etc/init-3.d/vboxdrv setup2* Add yourself to the “vboxusers” group and fix the SELinux Permissions (just in case):
usermod -G vboxusers -a <yourusername>
* ''(OPTIONAL)'' chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/virtualbox/This will bring up the VirtualBoxGUI on the HDA Desktop.so* Run, and enjoy!
VirtualBox
'''NOTE:''' See [http://www.derekhildreth.com/blog/how-to-install-virtualbox-3-on-fedora-12-tutorial/ how-to-install-virtualbox-3-on-fedora-12-tutorial] for more info.
=== Install Option 2 (VirtualBox RPM) ===
* Become privileged ('''root''' user):
su -
* Download the applicable RPM for your system (32- or 64-bit):
wget <nowiki>http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.2.12/VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.12_68302_fedora12-1.i686.rpm</nowiki>
wget <nowiki>http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.2.12/VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.12_68302_fedora12-1.x86_64.rpm</nowiki>
 
* Download and import the GPG key:
wget <nowiki>http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc</nowiki>
rpm --import oracle_vbox.asc
* Add dependencies:
yum install dkms gcc
* Install VirtualBox. If you’re having issues here, see [[VirtualBox#Troubleshooting|Troubleshooting]] section below:
yum localinstall VirtualBox-3.2*
* Add yourself to the “vboxusers” group:
usermod -G vboxusers -a <yourusername>
* ''(OPTIONAL)'' This will bring up the VirtualBox GUI on the HDA Desktop. Run and enjoy!
VirtualBox
 
=== Update VirtualBox to Latest Version ===
To update VirtualBox to the latest version, you must stop the service:
* Become privileged ('''root''' user):
su -
service vboxwebsrv stop
* Depending on the Install Option you used originally will determine how you update.
'''Option 1 (RPM):''' Download RPM from [http://www.virtualbox.org VirtualBox.org]
yum localinstall RPM-Name
'''Option 2 (Repo):'''
yum update
* Restart service:
service vboxwebsrv start
 
=== [http://www.amahi.org/apps/phpvirtualbox phpVirtualBox] (Web-Based Access) ===
* It has been packaged for Amahi and is currently in ''ALPHA'' testing. You will find the manual install steps [[PhpVirtualBox|here]].
===Portable VirtualBox On for WindowsXP/Vista/7 Host ===
* Download latest version from [http://vbox.me here.]
* You can install this on a hard drive or USB Flash Drive.
* [http://coffeeonthekeyboard.com/how-to-install-virtualbox-guest-additions-in-fedora-12-332/ How to Install VirtualBox Guest Additions in Fedora 12] has additional info that might be helpful.
=== Troubleshooting ===
* Applies to 32-bit machines ONLY.
* Having issues with install, check to see if you have the PAE kernel:
uname -r
* If it returns something like ''2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE'', do the following:
yum install -y kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
VirtualBox
* VirtualBox should now work.
===VirtualBox Web===
* Early alpha stage at the moment. The source files can be downloaded [http://code.google.com/p/vboxweb/].
* Install Instructions are located [http://code.google.com/p/vboxweb/wiki/install here].
 
 
===TROUBLESHOOTING===
Having problems with Virtualbox guestadditions in Fedora 12 Guest? The fix can be found in [http://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/27248 r27248]. Add the lines in green as the location specified. Manually apply this fix after you installed the guest additions (but before you rebooted the guest!) by changing /usr/src/vboxvideo-3.1.4/vboxvideo_drm.c and then re-compile the kernel modules by executing this as root user.
