(solved) VirtualBox guest additions 3.1.8

[damNageHack]

what I always do to upgrade packages is

Code: Select all

slapt-get --upgrade --ignore-excludes

and always remember to run lilo after a kernel upgrade

Wah? aaa_base should NEVER be updated! It will destroy your system...
And I doubt that this will help against my problems.

Could you pleas post the output of:

Code: Select all

LANG=C slapt-get -search '^kernel'

BTW what about script instead of making screenshots.

Console (mouse+keyboard) doesn't work any more, see above.

It is a VirtualBox guest without guest additions, so it makes it more difficult to copy paste.

You needn't. script stores everything entered and output during a terminal session to a file. You can then send that file around using a network connection and a tool like scp.

Then boot from a CD, mount root, chroot to it and run it that way.

You lucky one But do not expect that for every upgrade without any exclusions. For such situations the exclusions should be.

@Shador, ...

I did not know that script is a program. I thought of some "real" script to use.

Nice idea. So, here it comes what you expected:


edit:
I found something interesting at the end of /var/log/vboxadd-install.log


edit2:
Sorry, it seems that I forgot to run lilo Had worked with Fedora too long and used the comfort of grub ...
