hi all
I need some help using virtualbox.

I installed some time ago Virtualbox on my Devuan Chimaera, kernel was 5.10.0-14.
I can use VirtualBox correctly without any trouble with this system

Recently I updated the kernel

$ uname -a
Linux mapmobile 5.10.0-16-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.127-1 (2022-06-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Now all my VMs can start running but I get some malfunctions on my VMs (in example, inside VM Win10: (1) unaspected and frequent reboots and (2) some software like brawe browser close itself while running).

Fortunately I can still use 5.10.0-14 at boot.

Any idea to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

well... this response is from devuan chimaera with xfce installed big_smile

# uname -a
Linux refracta 5.10.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.19-1 (2021-03-02) x86_64 GNU/Linux

thanks to command dhclient I was able to connect to network
and yes, I don't have a wired interface on board but I need a usb/thunderbolt to connect as wired

All update done as:

#apt update
#apt upgrade
#tasksel

@jacksprat
I don't know the difference between apt and apt-get, looking around I found that "apt is better way in devuan/debian shell".
Do I'm wrong?

I can see this is a pre-beta, some fixes are needed but I think I can use this installation to experiment.

Just to let you know:

This is content of file interfaces:

cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

If I can help to test something you can ask.

after reboot and log in xfce, to connect to network, dhclient was needed again
now I can see only wired interface but I've wifi too.
I hope I can uses wifi in future.

quick update:
voidlinux (x86_64, glibc, xfce) installed correctly
works great!

next time I'll try refracta and chimaera

Ok, I'll try chimaera iso and refractainstaller.
I need some days, but I'll do this test.

hi guys and thanks for you support!

whell, to tell the whole story, I'm leaving my historical distro cause need a new laptop and my historical distro still use "the init system that shall not be named".

Currently, on my new laptop, I have a dual boot: artix and devuan. Artix boots correctly but (1) it's not stable as I need and (2) I prefer Devuan.

With dual boot (I think) I can try Chimaera but...
Head_on_a_Stick had a guide but says "but neither option is ideal".
fsmithred had chimaera-based live isos but: no xorg...

Well, I undestand, it’s too early for chimaera.
Do you think it’s possible, in the near future, to experiment with chimaera and a desktop environment?

Thanks again!

hi wdp
entered using recovery mode from boot menù
I followed your instructions but doesn't work
anyway sourcelist are updated but "apt upgrade" can't find anything to do: all seems to be already updated

after some time I watched devuan from afar I was determined to use it with the new laptop
I’m starting to think I can’t...

if there are other ideas please tell me smile

Intel chips work well

10th generation Intel chips onwards need a newer Mesa version than is available for Devuan beowulf. The same is true for the most recent AMD cards.

The OP should also note that all current graphics cards require non-free firmware even with the open source drivers supplied by the kernel.

EDIT: and please change the thread title — your machine doesn't "hang", it just fails to load the graphical desktop.

I own a HP elitebook PC (Hewlett-Packard HP EliteBook 8460p/161C)

All I can say is this:
- first of all, make sure you reset all BIOS-settings to default,
- then make sensible changes you wish to it.
- then, if UEFI boot mode is used, disable "Secure Boot" (That means DO NOT USE THE TPM)
You can use classic BIOS mode as well (CHS-mode for the disks). It's less tricky.
Then install normally.
Do you have any special graphics processor on board? Intel chips work well, but be careful if there is a NVIDIA or AMD GPU.
Good luck.

removed all secure boot, tpm and other security settings
no success, same lock

graphic card is
