Shell script problem

Have you tried "su -; sh whatever.run" ?

You probably need to copy whatever.run to /root first

Good luck

I had a slight problem installing the same sort of thing on a VMWare VM, again with Fedora 10. What I had to do in the end was.

1. Open a terminal.
2. Do "su" to get a root session.
3. Copy the script file from the virtual CD to the virtual hard disk (I used the /root directory.) Don't know why, but it wouldn't work without this step.
4. Run the script by typing "sh whatever.run". (Actually in VMWare it's "perl whatever.pl", but the principle is the same.)

I've tried all the virtual machines going, including VirtualPC, VirtualBox, and KVM, but I find VMWare Server (I'm using version2) to be the fastest and most stable. And they're all free! (However, if you're writing your own 64-bit OS, and want to be able to debug it, you can't beat SimNow - but it is sloooow.)

Quite a lot of updates if you've just installed Fedora 10! Hope you've got a nice fast connection.

^ can't say it any better

Kinda...

Graphics driver still missing tho...

800x640 = eww

Hmm... I think I've done that already.

Not tried Fedora10 with VirtualBox, but with VMWare it just works. Any resolution that your monitor is capable of handling.

Solaris and Windows Server worked fine with VirtaulBox, no problems with screen resolution, but in the end I found that VMWare server was slightly faster and more versatile. (But it won't run OS/2, should you wish to do so!)

Have you tried installing the guest additions again, after the update? The update might have overwritten something. Just as a matter of interest I'm going to try installing Ferora 10 (64-bit) in a VirtualBox VM on my mainn computer. That'll be running under XP64 and it's an Intel processor, not that I expect any of that to be relevant.

I've got Fedora 10 installed now, but couldn't immediately install the guest additions. After installing make, gcc, and kernel-devel I was getting a message that the kernel-headers were for the wrong version of the kernel (obvious really, because they were the latest ones whereas my running kernel was the one off the live CD). I'm now updating the system, and I'm sure that things will go fine after that. It'll take an hour or so - I'll let you know what happens

You will find that every time you update the kernel you need to reinstall the guest additions. This is because they are kernel modules and won't be present in a kernel downloaded from the Fedora site. I'm confident that if you install them now, after updating your system, all will be well.

Sorry - didn't see your last post. If it's the xorg.conf on your Fedora 10 that you've messed up, you don't actually need one. Rename it to xorg.conf.old and X should run.

Okay, I've found the universal way of installing Virtual box or Vbox add-ons

1. Mount the Guest add-ons .iso file
2. Copy into user folder or /home
3. Enter root
Use su in Red hat based distros
Use sudo in Debian based distros in addition to the text of the fourth step
4. Bash the .run file
Use

in Red hat (Must be root)
Use

(Will ask for root password) for Debian
5. Resolve dependencies such as GNU Make or GNU compile and run script again if there are dependencies

Fedora dependencies:

Red hat does include Mandriva, Fedora, OpenSuSe, Mythdora
Debian includes UBuntu, Kubuntu, mythbuntu etc.
