can't start virtualbox plugin

jollyrogr · 5. April 2017

When I try to enable the vbox plugin I get the following error

Code

Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C; systemctl start virtualbox-web 2>&1' with exit code '1': A dependency job for virtualbox-web.service failed. See 'journalctl -xn' for details.

Pressing the "show details" button gives me this:

Code

Error #0: exception 'OMV\ExecException' with message 'Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C; systemctl start virtualbox-web 2>&1' with exit code '1': A dependency job for virtualbox-web.service failed.

I can't make sense of it. Can anyone here help?

I found this thread: Virtualbox 5.1.8 and kernel 4.9 error

Will need to verify which version of virtualbox the plugin installed and manually install 5.1 if it didn't do so.

Instructions from this post worked: Virtualbox 5.1.8 and kernel 4.9 error

Manually install those packages and it works!

Newest version of VB is available in plugin, you just need to reinstall it.

In shell:
apt-get remove --purge virtualbox*
apt-get remove --purge openmediavault-virtualbox*
apt-get update
apt-get install openmediavault-virtualbox
if you run on dependencies problem
apt-get -f install
apt-get install openmediavault-virtualbox

Eventually you can change terminal install with plugin install on WebUI

There are few threads about this, just use search

yeah i thought the plugin should install those but for some reason it didnt. I manually installed the updated ones and it's working. Not sure what you mean by "Eventually you can change terminal install with plugin install on WebUI".

kawu2 · 11. April 2017

After you use shell to uninstall VB, you can switch from terminal installation to OMV WebUI plugin installation

jollyrogr · 12. April 2017

Oh ok. Any idea why it didnt install the updated packages in the first place? Did I need to do an "apt-get update" in the terminal first?

Well I can start the plugin, but the VBoxWebSrv does not seem to run.
Can you maybe help me out?

I postet already in this thread.
I don't want to install the WHOLE system again just because of this little fault..

I have omv-3.0.70 and the latest kernel from backports (4.9.13-1~bpo8+1). The installation of omv-virtualbox 3.0.7 is corrupted since installation of kernel 4.9.
As far as I understand, I can repair my installation of vbox following your instructions.

Some questions before doing this:

Will I loose my configuration of vbox and all my vbox-images when I use "purge"? The user "vbox" will be deleted too?
Wouldn't it enough when I remove the packages without "purge"?
Why doesn't do a regular upgrade the job?

Hello, regarding your questions:
1. You will lose configurations of phpvirtualbox, so we password and machines must be imported. If you do not delete manually VMs directory it'll be untouched.
2. No, purge remove all configurations etc, so files with bad configs will be removed.
3. I believe (not 100% sure) it is connected to repositories, VB plugin don't use virtualbox repositories but only package owner can ensure you.
