Strange since it works for me in 3.8.0, but 3.7.8 did not on a fresh install.

There is/will soon be a 3.7.10 kernel in the repo. Give that a try.

I have never made vbox work right since m11, but today, it worked, installed via smxi, on the 3.8.0 kernel

I have no idea how or why, but...

ouh, I didn't try to reinstall, just a sec.

EDT: Squeezy right?

Installing the Vbox Extension package now...

I think I have a fix.

The problem seems to be in the latest kernel builds and headers I make.
I have a 64 bit 3.7.10-antix.2 kernel and headers that should work.

I can't upload to the repos at the moment (they are still down), but I can upload to mepisimo and users will have to install both via dplg -i *.deb in the folder you download the debs to.

I'm in the same boat as the others here. I just installed the release version of antix 13 and the VirtualBox additions won't build for any kernel above 3.6.* apparently. Also anyone know how I can get the desktop to redaw while dragging the guest window? thanks.

The problem seems to be that Debian is still using glibc 2.13, and until it moves to v2.14 there won't be any easy way around this.

I just install VB non-ose via the installed svmi script on antiX-13

loukingjr · posted: 2013-06-08 21:12

that's not going to work for me. I'm running a test build of VB 4.2.51 for Mac hosts.

Ah ok.

If you are adventurist, you could install it from experimental

okay thanks, will give it a try in a few __{{emoticon}}__

hmmm. I enabled 'experimental' in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list then did an apt-get update and nothing new shows up.

anticapitalista · posted: 2013-06-08 21:51

you have to do apt-get install -t experimental upgrade (or the name of the app you want to install)
