Back|Track 5 64-bit KDE in VirtualBox – Failed to load module “vboxvideo”
When trying to run ‘startx’ with Back|Track 5 64-bit KDE iso running in VirtualBox I would get the following error – “Failed to load module ‘vboxvideo'”. I had a heck of a time searching for solutions and ultimately gave up and just ran the 32-bit. Today, however, I finally ran into a solution! Simply remove the icon-cache and plasma cache files from /root/.kde/cache-root/ directory. After you reboot, once BT5 is installed, remove the same files again, but this time from the /root/.kde/cache-bt/ directory. In order to get VirtualBox Additions you’ll need to install the following packages:
source-linux-source
source-linux-headers
Run “prepare-kernel-sources” and then the VB additions install script.
Thanks goes out to leandrotami for posting this solution here.
