But I need to install the virtualbox-dkms & virtualbox-qt package. The up-to-date version removes virtualbox 4.3.34.

the version of virtualbox direct from oracle is a wrap-up package. only debian breaks out virtualbox-dkms and virtualbox-qt.

all this said, with testing you won't be sure until you try.

I can't start virtual machines.
# to eliminate php errors

sudo #etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup returns an error: file doesn't exist.

Code: Select all

$ virtualbox
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
         available for the current kernel (3.17.0-antix.1-amd64-smp) or it failed to
         load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

           sudo #etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

you can't use the wheezy version of virtualbox with antiX running testing. you need to switch to the jessie version at minimum.

Most of my packages are from testing. I don't know what's happen, if i try to dist-upgrade from testing to jessie. Most likely it would break a lot of things. So I would like to fix the issue with kernel breaks above 3.17.

what I meant was you need the jessie version of virtualbox. not the wheezy version which is what you have installed.

or a stretch version, since that is what testing is tracking.

VirtualBox 4.3.34 doesn't have a Jessie version. And Virtualbox 5.x for Jessie requires gcc5 support in the kernel, wich requires at least kernel 3.18 wich randomly crashes here. 3.19 crashes as well. And any 4.x kernel crashes with HDD not found / root fs not loaded error. I tried to install AntiX 15.1, but it crashes with the same error. I posted this bug in the AntiX 15 thread.

Just in case of confusion, 15.1 is a testing release, not really tested fully yet. 15 is a final release that works out of the box.

That's cool. I understand completely. Look to your 15.1 thread for a update of my tests today.
