I checked the MD5sum of the file I downloaded and it matched... so something happened when I uploaded it the first time. Let's see if this upload worked.

Oops. I checked that it started downloading ok, but did not check the md5 sum (I reinstall windows every so often and don't reinstall many applications until I need them). I'm out getting my driver's license renewed... So not sure when I'll get back home, but will take care of it this afternoon.

The tgz version is up.

Not sure it is that simple. Think txz is binary where tgz is ASCII. https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/tar-gz-to-tgz-file-332905/#post1695781 See scuzzman's post #13 I may be wrong. I'm open to corrections & learning.

I noticed it was a different extension when I uploaded it. Thought it might still work. I'm still in unRAID 5 so I couldn't test. It probably works if not using the plugin so I'll leave it up until you send the tgz version (unless you think it will cause issues, if so let me know and I'll take it down). Hoping to have time to upgrade to 6b6 this weekend and play with Docker... Just want to make sure I'll have enough time to port my plugins... also wanting to add in a new router and setup my VPN on the router instead of having it run on the server (though I've had no issues running the OpenVPN plugin in unRAID)... trying to keep all my functionality and tidy things up... So I'm planning to be around and will upload the new compiled tgz once I see it.

The new version, compilted by theone, is up.

I've received the files theone compiled & they are now available on the website with the previous versions. Enjoy!

They should both be up now.

My apologies to all for falling behind on this. I posted the version 4.3.6 that was created and sent to me by theone and will post the latest version (he is currently compiling) once I receive it and am at home. Thanks for keeping it going while I am busy/unavailable to do so.

Yes, 5.01-5.03 are using 3.9.11p kernel... however there were some kernel modifications (not sure of exact details, but changelog for unRAID should have them). Several people were working fine on 5.02, but started having issues with 5.03. I redid the latest package with 5.03 to see if that helped, but missed a step that I normally do & did not make a change that is new. Yes, if you would like to downgrade to 5.0, that is doable. I have seen a couple threads asking about this. Seems the steps to downgrade are the same as upgrading between 5.0 & 5.03.

I missed some necessary steps when making the latest package. I'm at work now & not sure when I will get home today or what else I will have to do once there. gshlomi: If you can wait until I can redo the package (or use the one nars linked that he created a few posts back that is working for him and peter_sm), then you should be able to use unRAID 5.03 and VirtualBox. If you don't want to use the one from nars or wait, then yes, downgrading should help.

@nars: Thank you for finding the issue. I thought I included the install/doinst.sh, but as I do everything by hand and have made 2 today, it is possible I missed it. I will try to redo it to include install/doinst.sh as soon as I can... unfortunately tomorrow is a work day so I won't have much free time (if any). I ended up having to take care of some other issues at home today and did not read your notes as well as I should have... hence the udev rules missing. This does seem to be getting more complicated than when I originally started making the vbox package.

Because I am using an older version of the SimpleFeatures web server that is working for me. I saw no reason to upgrade to a newer version when I did not need any of the fixes or newer features and others were posting issues (I haven't had the time to chance breaking something that is working with no real benefits to me). I'm not sure which web server SimpleFeatures uses now, but there is also lighttpd, Apache, Nginx, XAMPP... just to name a few and there are many more. Some people prefer to run their web server on their unRAID server while others will run it on another system (like their Windows desktop) and point it to their unRAID system. This plugin gives the option to start and stop your VMs and everything can be done via the command line without ever using phpvirtualbox or a webserver.

jpimlott, I think we are talking about slightly different things. A web server and phpvirtualbox are not part of installing VirtualBox or using the VIrtualBox plugin. You can have a completely functioning VirtualBox without a web server or phpvirtualbox. The web server and phpvirtualbox give a nice graphical interface and make managing your virtual machines easier... and for that reason, many people add them. There is also the possibility to run the web server on a different system and point it to your unRAID box. I asked if you were using the VirtualBox plugin because it uses the compiled files that I post, but allows you to start and stop your VMs from the plugin.

Is there any error message when trying to install the VirtualBox Extension Pack for 4.3.4? Are you using the VirtualBox plugin or manually installing?

I compiled VirtualBox 4.3.4 using 5.03 for kernel 3.9.11p. I'm not using 5.03 yet so have not tested. Since peter_sm is up using the file from nars, he may not want to test a different version. However if anyone has any issues with what I compiled, please post to my thread VirtualBox compiled for unRAID. If there is still an issue, not sure what would help, but at least others will know / be aware of the issue so someone may have a solution.

Step one is to install a web server. There are several web servers available (some even have plugins available). Set this to somewhere on your cache drive for your data directory. I used /mnt/cache/.custom/www & picked 8084 for the listening port. The port is up to you, just make sure the port is not used for something else. You can test this much is running by pointing a web browser to http://tower:8084 Next download phpvirtualbox: From http://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/downloads/list, download the version that is compatible with your version VirtualBox & extract it to your data directory for your web server (I used /mnt/cache/.custom/www). Phpvirtualbox gives a nice graphical web page to allow you to manage VirtualBox easily. However, everything can be done to manage VirtualBox via the command line. If you want to be prompted for a username/password by phpvirtualbox, edit lines 12 & 13 of config.php with your user/pass that runs virtualbox. var $username = 'vboxuser'; var $password = 'vboxpass'; Then to verify it works, try to login with default user / pass for phpvirtualbox which is admin / admin. If you prefer not to be prompted for a login, you can modify the config.php file to uncomment the line 52 for "var $noAuth = true;" Some people seem to have issues with setting a login and if you do, just set this line so no login is needed. There is a wiki page for phpvirtualbox at http://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/w/list that lists some common errors with phpvirtualbox. If you have a problem with it that is not listed there, click the Issues tab link, click the dropdown box next to Search (which is default set to Open Issues) & change it to "All Issues" then use the next box to type part of your error message & click the Search button.

VirtualBox 4.3.4 is up for unRAID 5.0 - i386 (kernel 3.9.6p) & 5.03 (kernels 3.9.11p). I saw the changes Gfjardim made to the wiki and I attempted to use his new links, but compiling headers failed for me. I pulled up an older version of the page that listed using "bc-1.06.95-i486-1.txz" and "kernel-headers-2.6.33.4_smp-x86-1.txz" which is what I have been using since unRAID 5 RC13... and that compiled with no errors. As Gfjardim created the wiki page & it is still over 90% his work, I do not want to undo his changes... just stating they did not work for me. I created this page (which is still mostly from Gfjardim), but includes the directions that work for me on unRAID since 5 RC 13 (but does not include 4.7 instructions or his scripts): http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Installing_VirtualBox_in_unRAID5.0-i386 I may move the info to somewhere on my website once I get some time... having multiple wiki pages with just slightly different names in the same place may be confusing. It appears I can no longer edit my first post on this thread... I know someone recently deleted their thread which contained some useful guide... but did not realize that we could no longer edit older posts... I was keeping my first post to this thread updated with the latest files. Can't do that now

I see there is a Virtualbox 4.3.4 out now as well. I will look at the info nars has posted along with attempt to try to get this new version compiled tomorrow (Sunday). I am not sure if changes to the patching of the kernel in unRAID 5.03 will make a difference since when I compile the headers, install VirtualBox & make the package, I use the kernel from https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/. Willing to try using 5.0.3 with this kernel to see if it helps.

bullsh*t. i just got unraid working in KVM in 10 mins flat. Well if you want to make a step-by-step on how to get KVM working on unRaid in 10 mins it would be welcome +1 to a separate thread for a guide on that topic. That is great that it was easy for you, ironicbadger. Not everyone has the same background, knowledge or technical abilities here. Things that seem simple to one person can cause hair loss and many curses to the next. Please share your knowledge as opposed to just stating how easy it was for you.

Links are always nice, as are prices. I found this one for the 3TB for $99 with a 2 Year Limited Warranty: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005T3GRLY/ref=gb1h_tit_c-2_6362_563560f8?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_s=center-new-2&pf_rd_r=0Y6HJ2FHVE8M40W79XKJ&pf_rd_i=20&pf_rd_p=1673666362 I've not seen that the 4TB is discounted any... and this is not enough for me to jump on the 3TB. If you missed out on Newegg's earlier deal of a Toshiba 3TB for $89, this might be what is left... but with Cyber Monday ahead, perhaps there is better on the way (I hope).

Sold out currently (1:45pm EST-US 11/29/2013)

I bought one of these a few weeks ago at $99 from Newegg's Black November special. Seems to be a good drive. Just bought another at the $89 rate. Slightly disappointed that this seems to be the best deal for hard drives right now. Was hoping 4TB would get to under $100.

VirtualBox 4.3.2 package now available for the new unRAID (5.01 & 5.02) kernel 3.9.11p. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=25099.msg272090#msg272090

VirtualBox 4.3.2 package now available for the new unRAID (5.01 & 5.02) kernel 3.9.11p. Sorry for the delay. This was released on a Monday... I am working longer hours during the week and there is not enough free time to compile this until the weekends. Thank you to those that message or post to let me know when there are new versions. As always, let me know if there are any issues with the compile. I saw no errors when making it & I started a test download (so it appears I did not typo the name this time). Enjoy!
