Today I installed fresh Fedora 24 workstation on my machine. While installing virtual box I have faced a couple of issues. These are the problems and here's how I fixed them.
1. Unable to start Virtualbox
Install the missing packages: dkms and kernel devel
Open Preference menu and choose "Network" then click "Host-only Networks"
Click "+" to add new host-only network. Then save the changes.
Now go to settings and click Name for host-only adapter under Network options. You can able to see the name now.
3. Unable to install VirtualBox guest edition packages in guest OS:
If you are trying to install virtual box guest addition packages, you may get the following error.
If you look at the log file, you will see kernel related error
To resolve the issue, Install missing kernel packages:
That's it. If you are facing any other issues regarding VirtualBox in Fedora, please let me know. Thanks for reading my post :)
