[Nelson A. de Oliveira]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.5.6-dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

"/etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose start" fails on the first time if run. See:

# /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose start
+ PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
+ CONFIG=/etc/vbox/interfaces
+ VARDIR=/var/run/VirtualBox
+ VARFILE=/var/run/VirtualBox/vboxnet
+ TAPDEV=/dev/net/tun
+ [ -f /etc/default/virtualbox-ose ]
+ . /etc/default/virtualbox-ose
+ LOAD_VBOXDRV_MODULE=0
+ [ -f /etc/redhat-release ]
+ [ -f /etc/SuSE-release ]
+ [ -f /etc/gentoo-release ]
+ system=other
+ [ other = redhat ]
+ [ other = suse ]
+ [ other = gentoo ]
+ [ other = other ]
+ [ 0 = 1 ]
+ start
+ start_network
+ begin Starting VirtualBox host networking
+ echo -n Starting VirtualBox host networking
Starting VirtualBox host networking+ [ -f /var/run/VirtualBox/vboxnet ]
+ [ ! -d /var/run/VirtualBox ]
+ touch /var/run/VirtualBox/vboxnet
+ [ ! -f /etc/vbox/interfaces ]
+ [ ! -r /etc/vbox/interfaces ]
+ VBoxTunctl -h
+ grep VBoxTunctl
+ modprobe tun
+ cat /proc/misc
+ grep tun
+ fail_msg
+ echo  ...fail!
 ...fail!
+ return 1
+ exit

On the second run:

# /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose start
+ PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
+ CONFIG=/etc/vbox/interfaces
+ VARDIR=/var/run/VirtualBox
+ VARFILE=/var/run/VirtualBox/vboxnet
+ TAPDEV=/dev/net/tun
+ [ -f /etc/default/virtualbox-ose ]
+ . /etc/default/virtualbox-ose
+ LOAD_VBOXDRV_MODULE=0
+ [ -f /etc/redhat-release ]
+ [ -f /etc/SuSE-release ]
+ [ -f /etc/gentoo-release ]
+ system=other
+ [ other = redhat ]
+ [ other = suse ]
+ [ other = gentoo ]
+ [ other = other ]
+ [ 0 = 1 ]
+ start
+ start_network
+ begin Starting VirtualBox host networking
+ echo -n Starting VirtualBox host networking
Starting VirtualBox host networking+ [ -f /var/run/VirtualBox/vboxnet ]
+ succ_msg
+ echo  ...done.
 ...done.
+ return 0
+ exit

Thank you!

Best regards,
Nelson
