Clear Linux OS for Intel Architecture support VirtualBox kernel modules used
|
||||
by the Linux kernel 4.4 :abbr:`LTS (Long Term Support)` (*kernel-lts bundle*).
|

This kernel was selected due to Clear Linux OS main kernel
|

(*kernel-native bundle*) keeps up-to-date with Linux Kernel upstream and

||||
some times VirtualBox kernel modules doesn't fit in early days of a new

||||
kernel release.
|

To install the VirtualBox kernel modules you should follow these steps:
|

|
||||
#. Install the bundle that supports VirtualBox modules::
|
||||
|
||||
# swupd bundle-add virtualbox-guest
|
||||
|
||||
#. Set a timeout in the bootmanager to shows a menu at boot time::
|
||||
|
||||
# clr-boot-manager set-timeout 10
|
||||
|
||||
#. Update the bootloader entries with::
|
||||
|
||||
# clr-boot-manager update
|
||||
|
||||
#. Reboot your system with::
|
||||
|
||||
# reboot
|
||||
|
||||
and choose LTS kernel version.
|
||||
|
||||
#. (*Optional*) Unset timeout to boot directly to LTS version::
|
||||
|
||||
# clr-boot-manager set-timeout 0
|
||||
|
||||
#. (*Mandatory*) Update bootmanger to use always LTS version::
|
||||
|
||||
# clr-boot-manager update
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# swupd bundle-add virtualbox-guest
