VirtualBox and ZFS plugins installation issue after fresh OMV install

vonPaulus · Apr 16th 2018, 10:09am

Hello,

i've set up my second, fresh OMV installation v. 4.14 and now i'm trying to install VirtualBox plugin and ZFS plugin from OMV-Extras. But it gives me this kind of error:

Source Code

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openmediavault-virtualbox : Depends: linux-headers-686-pae but it is not installable or
linux-headers-amd64 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
<<< *************************************

When i try to install "linux-headers-amd64" i get this message:

Source Code

Following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-headers-amd64 : Depends: linux-headers-4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 but is not going to be installed
E: Cannot resolve the problems, stopped broken packages.

And when i try to install linux-headers by this command: "apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" i get:

Source Code

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-headers-4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 : Depends: linux-compiler-gcc-6-x86 (>= 4.14.17-1~) but 4.9.82-1+deb9u3 is going to be installed
E: Cannot resolve problems, stopped broken packages.

How can i resolve this?

Same issue with Virtualbox after kernel update to 4.15.

Booting with kernel 4.14 solve the problem and Virtualbox has no problems.

How can Virtualbox run with kernel 4.15

I've tried to boot with 4.14 kernel, also installed OMV one more time v 4.0.3 but still VirtualBox and ZFS plugins cannot install with above error. No matter which kernel i use or which OMV version i install.

Debian has to fix the dependencies in their control file. I will look for a bug report and report one if I don't find one (if I have a chance). Nothing you can do until then due to the dependency on the linux-headers-amd64 meta package which references the 4.15 headers.

Thx a lot for the warning, I was going to do the upgrade to the 4.15 kernel... you saved my day

Thank you for your attention. I hope they will fix this soon because virtualbox is my must-have on OMV

Also OMV is my must-have already after migrating from Qnap.

I just submitted the bug report to Debian. Just have to wait now.

Do you have a link to your bug report in the debian tracker?

I encountered the same issue on Saturday, I've done an downgrade to the 4.14 kernel.

Is there anybody that can answer the following question:
Is there an improvement for the ZFS Plugin with the newer backports kernel instead of the stable kernel?
I would say no.

I was thinking about to use the stable kernel instead of the backports. I have no hardware issues with the stable kernel. Is there any side effects with OMV if I use the stable kernel?

No since the zfs code is not in the kernel. It may improve support on some hardware though.

Nope, it works fine. Just add OMV_APT_USE_KERNEL_BACKPORTS="NO" to /etc/default/openmediavault and then omv-mkconf apt. This will prevent the backports kernel from being installed. It won't remove it if it is currently installed though.

I guess installing the meta package doesn't resolve dependencies properly but this will:

apt-get install -t stretch-backports linux-headers-4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64

Updating to omv-extras 4.1.3 should eliminate the need to fix this manually.

D.Wagner89 · Apr 16th 2018, 4:54pm

I cannot install the kernel because it says "stetch-backports" isnt possible for Default release. Any idea?

I did the update an my ZFS dont work anymore. Is my data lost?

Please cut and paste what I wrote. You spelled stretch wrong.

Nope. You just need to compile the zfs module for the new kernel. Then rebooting is the easiest way. You might have to import your pools. In the future, I wouldn't blindly install kernel updates especially when it is a new version.

This could solve the problem of not installing Virtualbox. I also did an "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" and after reboot I could install Virtualbox without any problems

@ryecoaaron

Thanks for omv-extras 4.1.3

linux-headers-4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 are installed now.

recompile of virtualbox with dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms has still issues.

no way for virtualbox on kernel 4.15?

Not Virtualbox 5.1.30. I will have to try to build 5.2.8 from the buster repo. If it builds on stretch, the module should compile with the 4.15 kernel since that is the standard buster kernel.

ryecoaaron · Apr 17th 2018, 1:38am

Well, I got the package compiled but it requires some changes to the plugin and phpvirtualbox package. Those changes will break backward compatibility. Need to think about what to do.

Here is the original output of the console

root@OMV:~# apt-get install -t stretch-backports linux-headers-4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
E: Der Wert »stretch-backports« ist für APT::Default-Release ungültig, da solch eine Veröffentlichung in den Paketquellen nicht verfügbar ist.

Translation should be

E: The value "stretch-backports" is for APT::Default-Release is invalid, since such a release is not available in the package-sources.

Also i updated my omv-extras to 4.1.3 without any success
Same issue after reinstallation of openmediavault-zfs

It fixes problem with virtualbox installation, but not with ZFS plugin. When i try to install it via WebGui i just get "Completed..." message immediately after clicking "Install". And nothing else happens, zfs plugin is not available.

You are correct that it doesn't compile the zfs module but it does fix the issue where the module won't compile. dpkg-reconfigure zfs-dkms

If the headers aren't installed, the zfs issue can't be fixed. What is the output of grep -ir backport /etc/apt/*
