Gentoo as virtualBox guest

Message

pablo_supertux · Post by **pablo_supertux** » Mon Mar 15, 2021 1:12 am

I'm currently installing gentoo inside a virtual box because I want to test some stuff.

I have this kernel config:

$ grep -i vbox .config
CONFIG_DRM_VBOXVIDEO=m
CONFIG_VBOXGUEST=m

My audio is working, X11 could start but with max resolution of 1280x1204. Looking at the Xorg.log it was clear that it X was running with the VESA driver.

So I looked for gentoo specific documentation and found this: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/VirtualBox. This wiki page does not mention whether you should set CONFIG_DRM_VBOXVIDEO and CONFIG_VBOXGUEST at all in your kernel config, in fact it tells you to set the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU (is that really necessary?). I did it anyway, but I also left those other two variables set as module and proceeded to install app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions.

After a reboot I noticed that virtualbox-guest-additions service fails with this error:

Code: Select all

 * Loading kernel modules
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxsf': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
 * ERROR: virtualbox-guest-additions failed to start

and dmesg says:

Why am I getting this? Is it because I have CONFIG_DRM_VBOXVIDEO and CONFIG_VBOXGUEST set as module in my kernel configuration? I found this viewtopic-t-1085266-start-0.html but this long thread did not offer a clue for me. The funny thing is that X still runs and when I execute xrandr I get:

Code: Select all

And if I execute lspci -k I see

I'm confused. Why is it using the VMWare driver? In /etc/portage/make.conf I set VIDEO_CARDS="vesa fbdev virtualbox", should I replace virtualbox with vmware? What is going on?

Hi!

I do not know what is exactly wrong in Your vm.

My working vm is like this:

# grep -i vbox .config
# CONFIG_DRM_VBOXVIDEO is not set
#

# head -7 .config
#
# Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT.
# Linux/x86 5.4.97-gentoo Kernel Configuration
#

#
# Compiler: gcc (Gentoo 9.3.0-r2 p4) 9.3.0

virtualbox-guest-additions is emerged without lto:
# CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe " LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" emerge virtualbox-guest-additions -vp

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild R ] app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions-6.1.18:0/6.1::gentoo USE="X (-dist-kernel)" 0 KiB

# cat /etc/portage/make.conf|grep -i VIDEO
VIDEO_CARDS="dummy vga virtualbox vmware"

(actually vmare driver is recommended in latest virtualbox suggestions, but I am not using it (yet))

# lsmod|grep vbox
vboxsf 81920 0
vboxvideo 40960 2
drm_kms_helper 163840 1 vboxvideo
ttm 94208 1 vboxvideo
drm 397312 5 drm_kms_helper,vboxvideo,ttm
vboxguest 282624 6 vboxsf

When I use a vm for quick testing gentoo stuff I just use gentoo-kernel-bin, it should have everything you need (helps rule out kernel config issues even if don't want to keep using it), but I use qemu so can't help beyond that

pablo_supertux · Post by **pablo_supertux** » Tue Mar 16, 2021 2:57 pm

@ippipp thanks, I'll try that later

@Ionen probably a good idea, I'll try that later as well

pablo_supertux · Post by **pablo_supertux** » Tue Mar 16, 2021 9:40 pm

Ok, I unset CONFIG_DRM_VBOXVIDEO and CONFIG_VBOXGUEST and the recompiled app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions. After the reboot vboxfs could be loaded:

Code: Select all

$ lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
vboxsf                 81920  0
vboxvideo              40960  0
vboxguest             290816  2 vboxsf

I can mount the shared directory, great. But app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions also says this:

* file as your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
* /usr/share/doc/virtualbox-guest-additions-6.1.18/xorg.conf.vbox
*
* Also make sure you use the Mesa library for OpenGL:
* eselect opengl set xorg-x11

So I did:

Code: Select all

$ bzcat //usr/share/doc/virtualbox-guest-additions-6.1.18/xorg.conf.vbox.bz2 > /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Why am I getting this? Luckily X starts with a non existent xorg.conf file, but with 800x600 resolution by default, annoying but at least it works.

Hi!

Did You also changed VIDEO_CARDS in /etc/portage/make.conf ?

And after changing that did you recompile everything related with this? (mesa, xorg-drivers, libdrm, etc.... Check "# grep VIDEO_CARDS /var/db/pkg/*/*/*ebuild" output)

no, because I alread had virtualbox and vmware in my VIDEO_CARDS variable. VIDEO_CARDS="vesa fbdev virtualbox vmware"

I can try that...

edit: that didn't help. Anyway, it's working with a missing xorg.conf and since it's a test system, I don't need to get it 100% right.

njcwotx · Post by **njcwotx** » Wed Mar 17, 2021 11:08 pm

i did a virtual box just last week...

vboxsvga + 3d were my settings...

kernel
CONFIG_DRM_VBOXVDIEO=y
CONFIG_VBOXGUEST=y

may help, i dont have it right handy to past it all, but ill try to get the full config for you. I had issues as well, so my config has VMware, Vesa, and FBDEV items as well. I plan on going back and trying to narrow it down to just specifics, but im pretty sure these 2 are what you need, but lspci shows vmwgfx at the moment, so that could really be the one it wants. Anyway, it works.

njcwotx · Post by **njcwotx** » Wed Mar 17, 2021 11:19 pm

Looks like the VMware driver won with VMSVGA and 3d for me. Ill have to experiment and see if I can make the vbox driver work instead
sections below
make.conf shows VIDEO_CARDS="virtualbox" in all following tests below

1. config file
2. Xorg.log file showing which driver loaded
3. lspci -nnk shows VMware gfx

out of curiosity...I compiled a kernel, removing all but virtual box gpu and DRM support, removed all the frame buffer support stuff i saw under DeviceDrivers/GraphicsSupport(and frame buffer support)...

config looks to have removed a bunch of stuff, no vesa, no fbdev, no VMware....console looks minimal (prob cuz i removed all the frame buffer console stuff for fun)

Upon boot...X works with virtual box driver...however it was interesting....

the video card now identifies itself as 'VMware SVGA II" driver" and Xorg.log shows 'vmware', its possible the CONFIG_DRM_VBOXVIDEO mimics a VMware driver...it did have (NEW) next to it, maybe it will get some tweaks down the line...config file definitely has no VMware lines active, the only driver is the VBOXVIDEO line.

Anyway...good luck.

[NOTE**] cuz i couldn't leave it alone

I noticed my VMSVGA+3d was still active even after trying to change it...so I unset 3d and used VBoxSVGA and it still worked with VBOXVIDEO driver...only this time....video card now identifies itself as a Virtual Box Graphics Card with lscpi and Xorg.log shows vboxvideo as the driver loaded. -- make.conf has always shown VIDEO_CARDS="virtualbox" from the start in all my tests

in any of my settings, I noticed nothing difference between them, only time will tell if one has better options than the other.

For sh*ts and giggles, I have been setting up a VirtualBox VM of Gentoo using clang as the default compiler, only building those packages with gcc that require it, like the kernel, glibc, etc.
Interesting experience, not fully up to speed, but happy to share any config files, such as package.env.

This is all hosted in VirtualBox on a Gentoo host.

As an aside, I am trying to get cloudlinux running in a VM with Gentoo host, it repeatedly reports lost rtc interrupts, just wondering if anyone has a solution for that.
