OMV 4.x omv-extras Virtualbox installation problem.

Baron3K · Aug 22nd 2018

Hello,

Fresh install of Arrakis on the machine. Enabled Testing repo in OMV_Extras. Can't install virtualbox. Can somebody point me in the right direction to resolve this problem ?

regards,

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!

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

Same result

Quote from R2D2

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 ...
At a OMV3 (3.0.99) I am not able to install the Virtual-Box-Plugin.

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?

R2D2 · Aug 25th 2018

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?!

boh73 · Aug 25th 2018

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!

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.

I did a fresh OMV 4 Install

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?

But what can I do with my OMV 3 ?
Any ideas?

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.
