Public bug reported:
Greetings,
If you install a vanilla precise Ubuntu machine and upgrade to the
latest Hardware Enablement Stack kernel doing:
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-trusty libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty
xserver-xorg-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty
(or similar) and reboot, your precise machine will then have a 3.13
kernel. That's Goodness.
However, if you then try to install the "standard" (from universe)
virtualbox packages from the standard repository, it'll fail. The
current version of virtualbox-guest-dkms in precise (4.1.12) does not
work with the new 3.13 kernel and virtualbox will not work.
Just do:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox
and you'll get:
Building initial module for 3.13.0-32-generic
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.13.0-32-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/4.1.12/build/make.log for more information.
* Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
* Starting VirtualBox kernel modules * No suitable module for running kernel
found
[fail]
invoke-rc.d: initscript virtualbox, action "restart" failed.
and if you look in /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/4.1.12/build/make.log you'll
see that it simply doesn't build. I can provide such a log, if that'd
be helpful.
You can work around this by installing directly from virtualbox.org, but
it'd be very very very nice if the 'precise' packages in universe were
updated to work with 3.13.
Cheers,
David
