[SOLVED] Problem running a Gnome lenny LiveCD in virtualbox

linx win · 07-31-2010, 04:05 PM

I have created a squashfs live CD from HD (Gnome - lenny ). It runs like a charm in a "fromhd" mode but when I try the iso or even a burned CD in virtualbox on the same PC, X does not start. It says:
Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist, 0)
/usr/bin/xorg: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//vesa_drv.so: undefined symbol: xf86GTFMode

Any idea if I am messing any package?

You might want to boot a Knoppix cd and look at the hardware
in the virtual machine. Then compare that to the hardware
when booting in fromhd mode. Check to make sure you have the
modules included that are needed by the VM.

Once you booted the iso in VirtualBox and got the error-message remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf
(or, if you know how, edit it accordingly). I don't know for sure, but i got similar problems when doing such stuff.

Solved:

I purged package xserver-xorg-video-vesa and installed it again. Now, I am using my Live CD in VirtualBox.
