error message
(In reply to RicardoK from comment #0) Amongst messages, in your first attachment: : Apr 14 11:02:34 rk-bsd kernel: KLD vboxdrv.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch Apr 14 11:02:34 rk-bsd kernel: linker_load_file: /boot/modules/vboxdrv.ko - unsupported file type A warning about kernel modules was added to the FreeBSD Handbook a few hours ago. If the upgrade, in your case, preceded sight of the warning: our apologies. I understand that I did not take into account the warning, which was not yet in place at the time of my update. I performed the update according to the instructions https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.2R/installation/ Could you please point out to me what I should do in my situation to be able to use VirtualBox ? (In reply to RicardoK from comment #3) As a basis, you'll need a copy of the ports collection (see <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/ports/#ports-using>) plus, if I recall correctly, a copy of the source code for FreeBSD. Before proceeding, an essential question. For packages, which repository do you use – quarterly, or latest? You'll find one of the two words in output from the following command: pkg -vv | grep -e url -e enabled -e priority For packages, I use the quarterly repository. url : "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/quarterly", enabled : yes, priority : 0, (In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #4) For packages, I use the quarterly repository. url : "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/quarterly", enabled : yes, priority : 0, (In reply to RicardoK from comment #5) You can use Git to get copies of the ports and src repos, see for example <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/mirrors/#git>. <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/ports/#ports-using-git-method> describes how to get the quarterly branch of ports. ---- Alternatively, maybe simpler, use Gitup: 1. pkg install gitup 2. edit the file named below, to use releng/13.2 instead of releng/13.1 in the release section 3. gitup quarterly && gitup release /usr/local/etc/gitup.conf ---- After you have copies of the repos: a) pkg delete virtualbox-ose-kmod b) run the port-specific command that is shown at <https://www.freshports.org/emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod/#add>. Then, load the kernel module. Restarting the computer should do this, automatically. |
