Fedora 11 Fatal boot failure on vbox

By
I tried installing Fedora 11 on Virtual Box 3.0.6 and really surprised of the result after the first reboot, I was presented with following fatal error message:
Booting from local disk...
FATAL: INT18: BOOT FAILURE
Or this image capture:
Though the issue is easy to work-around, thus say, unmount the DVDROM from VirtualBox but this got me thinking why is it that this issue is not present in Ubuntu 9.04 nor OpenSUSE 11.1? Was this a regression in Fedora or due to VirtualBox?

Note that this issue was reported in Virtual Box and claimed to be an issue with Fedora installer. But this issue was reported way back Fedora 10? :(...

I wish I am brave enough to mess around with probably GRUB or Linux kernel to help fix this minor hiccup.

The following add-ins could not be started MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform

By
Installing MonoDevelop in OpenSUSE 12.2 from its repository was very easy. When running it for the first time though I got the message: The following add-ins could not be started: The root of the trace shows MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform,2.8 A quick search shows that MonoDevelop depends on libgnomeui .

References: http://software.1713.n2.nabble.com/MonoDevelop-and-openSUSE-12-1-td7462957.html [2013/04/09] - Same issue observed in OpenSUSE 12.3 and also the same fix. [2014/11/02] - Same issue observed in OpenSUSE 13.3, mondevelop 3.0.6 and the same fix.

Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file install VirtualBox 4.1.8 on Ubuntu 11.10

By
Tried to update my Ubuntu host today and it did pickup that new version of VirtualBox is available (4.1.8). All other packages installed properly except that VirtualBox installation was complaining about missing dkms.conf file, see error message below. $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] * Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file. File: does not exist. [ OK ] * Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS [ OK ] * Starting VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] Though it looks like installation was fine but I am concerned about its effects to VirtualBox functionality. To fix this, do: $: cd /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost $: sudo rm -r 4.1.4 $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Of course you have to re
