I'm only a user (not a developer) so I'm not familiar with the VBox code itself or the specifics of the 64bit/32bit situation in it.
VIRTUALBOX EXTENSION PACK 4.3.18 INSTALL
Brutally copying the /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-X.Y.Z folder from a 32bit build (and keeping the 64bit kernel modules in /lib/modules/3.2.53-slitaz64) did improve things slightly, but the install includes several precompiled architecture specific files which aren't entirely happy being transplanted, such as VBoxControl and VBoxService. I haven't been able to find any patches or workarounds for getting the Guest Additions to work in environments similar to the current 64bit SliTaz environment. Otherwise, if you only wanted a 64bit OS to address more than 4gig of RAM, then a 32bit PAE kernel could offer you something (with working guest additions). If you specifically need a 64bit OS for some reason, then it could be a matter of either waiting for VirtualBox to start to support mixed systems (64bit Kernel with 32bit userspace), or waiting for a pure 64bit flavor of SliTaz if it happens in the future (or multilib support?), or maybe some patches will come along.
VIRTUALBOX EXTENSION PACK 4.3.18 32 BIT
Maybe combining the 64bit VirtualBox kernel modules, and 32 bit everything else will work to some extent.
VIRTUALBOX EXTENSION PACK 4.3.18 64 BIT
Currently it seems to use a mix of 64 bit kernel and 32 bit userland (at least some), which isn't supported by VirtualBox (or wasn't last time I looked). The 64bit version of SliTaz doesn't seem to have reached Release Candidate stage yet so the chances of an immediate solution are probably slim at the moment.
VIRTUALBOX EXTENSION PACK 4.3.18 SOFTWARE
The mesa-dri package provides 2 files which help enable the direct rendering (firstly it provides the software direct rendering library, but also the Guest Additions installer looks for these files when setting up some links to the VBox DRI files etc so that Xorg loads the DRI modules). The instructions (for 32bit versions of SliTaz which are at least at Release Candidate stage) in the first post will give you working shared folders, bidirectional clipboard, mouse integration, hardware direct rendering (3d support) etc.

You don't (shouldn't) need to install the linux-api-headers package as it is a dependency of linux-module-headers (and also a dependency of linu圆4-module-headers) so it will be automatically installed if you use the Package Manager or tazpkg -gi packagename. this (or similar) is normally done by the installer for supported distros. The addgroup command adds a new System group for the shared folder service. The adduser command adds user ID vboxadd as a System user to the daemon group. For instance, if I wanted to mount the (hypothetical) share called pubdoc and access it as a desktop folder called Docs (make sure the folder exists first) then I issue the following command in terminal as root: Shared folders work (I manually mount the shared folders as/when I need them). if you have OpenGL render = Chromium and direct rendering = Yes then accelerated 3D is supported.Ĭlipboard sharing HostGuest works if you enable it in the VirtualBox menus or in your virtual machine settings. Which according to the VirtualBox bugtracker is due to the way vboxvideo hooks itself into the Mesa library instead of being loaded in the normal way by Mesa. LibGL error: failed to load driver: vboxvideo Glxinfo and glxgears will show a false error: To check that the vbox modules are loaded, open terminal and typeĪlso, you can install the mesa-demos package to get the glxgears and glxinfo utilities.Īfter you install mesa-demos, open terminal and type ***Note: instead of editing /etc/nf, you could add "VBoxClient-all &" without the quotes to a new line above the CASE 1$ line in each users ~/.xinitrc file. Login_cmd VBoxClient-all & exec /bin/sh -l ~/.xinitrc %session open as root /etc/nf and change the login_cmd line to start VBoxClient-all before it executes ~./xinitrc, e.g. LOAD_MODULES=" vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo" open as root /etc/rcS.conf and add "vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo" to the LOAD_MODULES line, e.g.

open terminal as root and issue the following commands:Īdduser -h /var/run/vboxadd -G daemon -S -s /bin/false vboxadd >/dev/null 2>&1

ignore text about kernel headers for current running version not found ignore text about scripts added to /etc/init.d (installer does not recognize your Linux Distribution etc) in terminal, change directory to the mount point for the VBoxAdditions iso e.g. mount the VBoxAdditions iso using the VirtualBox menu option Devices->Insert Guest Additions CD image. open Package Manager and recharge the package list. I sometimes need to stop/restart eth0 using TazPanel (Slitaz Panel) the first time to get a connection. In the slitaz virtual machine make sure you have a working internet connection.
