  • I have a similar problem ...
    At a OMV3 (3.0.99) I am not able to install the Virtual-Box-Plugin.
    I used the Web-Gui, installed omv-omvextrasorg 3.4.32.
    When I try to add the omvextras-virtualbox 3.0.8 plugin, I get the following error message:


    Code
    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.


    I tried to add linux-headers-amd64 manual by apt-get ... but get following:

    Code
    Hängt ab von: linux-headers-4.9.0-0.bpo.6-amd64 soll aber nicht installiert werden
    E: Probleme können nicht korrigiert werden, Sie haben zurückgehaltene defekte Pakete.


    I tried a new installation of OMV4 at a Test-PC and get the same error message.


    How can I fix this problem?


    Thank you for your help,

  • I tried installing virtual box 4.1 yesterday on a fresh OMV 4.1.9 (4.17 Kernel) Installation - doesn't work



    Also tried with testing repo enabled, but no luck :(


    Any help is appreciated!

  • What is the output of: omv-aptclean

    Part 1

  • What is the output of: omv-aptclean

    Part 2

  • I just gave a quick run with kernel 4.14 on OMV 4


    Same result



    I wounder if I do a fresh install with OMV 3 if it works? But doesn't look good if I look at @boh73 post:

    I have a similar problem ...

    My old and running Installation OMV 2 and OMV 3 all have running the Virtual Box Plugin and I never experienced any problems...


    Does somebody knows what's going on? :/

  • Very very wierdo!


    I found a solution to overcome the problem of not being able to install virtual box!


    Don't judge me for what I did and why it worked!


    • I still had kernel 4.14 activated
    • OMV Extras with testing enabled
    • And here it comes: I disabled backports with the button under OMV Extras and than I just enabled it right after it again

    Now the installation worked and Virtual Box appears in the menu!


    I will investigate further but I'm not sure why it worked? I thought backports is already enabled because the kernels are both backport kernels?!

  • I only have kernel 4.9.0-0.bpo.6-amd64 and 4.9.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 from which I could choice one ... I have not seen a button to disable backport-kernel.
    How did you do this?

    I guess it's not about the backport kernel (because I can't choose any other than a bpo kernel) but about the backport-soruces


    There is a button in the OVM-Extras Tab (top line on the right) - give a look!

    This option is only available on OMV 4.x.

    Can you tell if backports (repository not kernel, right?) is activated or deactivated on a new OMV 4 Install?

    The backports repository is activated but only the kernel is pinned. So, no other backports packages should be used (unless omv-extras is installed and it pins more packages). The backports kernel is installed as well since it is pinned.

    Okay, so I think this causes the 'trouble' which makes Virtual Box not instalable right away.


    The only thing to do (beside installing the omv-extra package) is to activate backports in the omv-extra tab. The installation of virtual box should then work right away. I will try with a fresh install right away... ;)

    It shouldn't. The virtualbox package is only available in backports.

  • It shouldn't. The virtualbox package is only available in backports.

    • I did a fresh OMV 4 Install
    • Installed OMV-Extras
    • Upgrade all Packages
    • Reboot because I got a new kernel (4.17>4.14)
    • When I try to install Virtual Box (4.1) (only stable repo enabled) I get this:



    • When i enable backports in the OMV-Extra Tab and install Virtual Box 4.1 it works!
      -> PROFIT!

    Couldn't this be made automatic? When installing the plugin - like you said with pinning? :)

    It is automatic but on a new installation, the backports value isn't set in /etc/default/openmediavault. OMV itself enables backports by default in this case. omv-extras doesn't create the pinnings in this case. Enabling backports in omv-extras adds the value. I will change omv-extras so it behaves the same as OMV.
