===[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 /># <u>'''VirtualBox repo:</u> ''' 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 /># <u>'''VirtualBox RPM:</u> ''' 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) ===
* Enable the new repo:
yum clean all
yum update* Add dependencies: yum updateinstall dkms gcc* Install VirtualBox (along with a few other required packages). If you’re having issues here, try installing '''''kernel-PAE-devel''''' firstsee [[VirtualBox#Troubleshooting|Troubleshooting]] section below: yum install -y VirtualBox-3.2 dkms gcc
* Add yourself to the “vboxusers” group:
usermod -G vboxusers -a <yourusername>
* 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:
VirtualBox
=== Web Front End ([http://www.amahi.org/apps/phpvirtualbox phpVirtualBox]) Update VirtualBox to Latest Version ===* The application has been packaged for Amahi and is currently in ''ALPHA'' testing.  ==== Manual Install ===='''NOTE:''' This requires '''''Advanced Settings''''' To update VirtualBox to be enabled on your HDA and can be done via the '''''Settings''''' tab in latest version, you must stop the Amahi Dashboard. * Navigate to the Amahi '''''Applications tab''''', create a web app called '''phpvb'''. service:* Become privileged ('''root''' user):
su -
service vboxwebsrv stop* Download and extract Depending on the source file:Install Option you used originally will determine how you update. cd /var/hda/web-apps/phpvb'''Option 1 (RPM):''' wget <nowiki>Download RPM from [http://codewww.googlevirtualbox.com/p/phpvirtualbox/downloads/detail?name=phpvirtualbox-0org VirtualBox.5.zip&can=2&q=</nowiki>org] unzip phpvirtualbox-0.5.zip mv phpvirtualbox-0.5/* html chown yum localinstall RPM-R apache:users htmlName* Edit '''''/var/hda/web-apps/phpvb/html/config.php''''' and change the values below to your user name and password Option 2 (must be the same user name as added to the Repo):''vboxusers'' group during VirtualBox install): var $username = 'ian'; var $password = 'pass';yum update* Start Web ServiceRestart service: /usr/bin/service vboxwebsrv -b --logfile /dev/null >/dev/nullstart
* Enable start on Boot:Exit '''root''' user and edit crontab for your user (''whoami'' will display the current user name and must match the one in the previous step): whoami crontab -eand add the following line. (to save, enter ''':''' followed by '''wq'''): @reboot /usr/bin/vboxwebsrv -b --logfile /dev/null >/dev/null * Create Web Service daemon (this will allow start/stop for updating VirutalBox versions):As '''root''' user, create the file '''''/etc/init.d/vboxwebsrv''''' and add the following (ensure you replace ''username'' on line 6 with the same user name as added to the ''vboxusers'' group during VirtualBox install): #! /bin/sh PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin DESC="VirtualBox Web Service" NAME=vboxwebsrv SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME USER=username [ -r http:/etc/default/$NAME ] && . /etc/default/$NAME [ -f /etc/default/rcS ] && www. /etc/default/rcS amahi. org/etcapps/rc.d/init.d/functions VBPID=`ps -U ${USER} --no-heading -o pid,cmd | grep vboxwebsrv | grep -v ${SCRIPTNAME} | grep -v grep | tail -1 | awk '{ print $1 }'` do_start() { if [ "$VBPID" != "" ] && [ "$VBPID" -gt 0 phpvirtualbox phpVirtualBox]; then echo $NAME already running with PID $VBPID else su ${USER} -c 'vboxwebsrv -b --logfile /dev/null >/dev/null' fi } do_stop() { if [ "$VBPID" != "" ] && [ "$VBPID" -gt 0 ]; then echo Stopping $NAME ... kill $VBPID else echo $NAME not running fi } do_status() { if [ "$VBPID" != "" ] && [ "$VBPID" Web-gt 0 ]; then echo Running with pid $VBPID else echo $NAME not running fi } case "$1" in startBased Access) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo "Starting $DESC" "$NAME" do_start ;; stop) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo "Stopping $DESC" "$NAME" do_stop ;; restart|force-reload) echo "Restarting $DESC" "$NAME" do_stop sleep 1 VBPID=0 echo Starting $NAME ... do_start ;; status) do_status ;; *) echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status}" >&2 exit 3 ;; esacSet permissions: chmod 755 /etc/init.d/vboxwebsrvTo use the service, do the following as '''rootIt has been packaged for Amahi and is currently in ''ALPHA' user (option: start, stop, restart, force-reload, status): service vboxwebsrv option* That's ittesting. You should now be able to access VirtualBox from your browser at <nowiki>http://phpvb</nowiki>. It will restart automatically on reboot as well. Be aware moving find the mouse pointer in this app is quirky and often difficult to navigate.* Refer to manual install steps [http://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/wiki/Installation phpVirtualBox Installation] for additional guidance.  '''NOTE:''' See [[Amahi_on_VirtualBoxPhpVirtualBox|Amahi on VirtualBoxhere]] for detailed guidance on installing Amahi on a virtual machine (VM).
=== Portable VirtualBox for Windows XP/Vista/7 Host ===
* 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.
