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 3.0.8 version and an i386 CPU (32-bit). 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…

  1. Become privileged
su -
  1. Get the VirtualBox repo installed (you may need to install wget)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/virtualbox.repo && cp virtualbox.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
  1. Install VirtualBox (along with a few other needed packages)! If you’re having issues here, try installing “kernel-PAE-devel”
yum install -y VirtualBox dkms gcc
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
  1. Add yourself to the “vboxusers” group and fix the SELinux Permissions (just in case):
usermod -G vboxusers -a <yourusername>
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so
  1. Run, and enjoy!
VirtualBox
