VB6.1.18 Extensions Install Error 127
by business_kid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5G9ZK)
On Slackware64-Current & VB-6.1.18
Code:Failed to install the Extension Pack /home/dec/Downloads/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.18.vbox-extpack.
The installer failed with exit code 127: Error creating textual authentication agent: Error opening current controlling terminal for the process (`/dev/tty'): No such device or address.
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: ExtPackManagerWrap
Interface: IExtPackManager {70401eef-c8e9-466b-9660-45cb3e9979e4}/dev/tty seems present & correct
Code:bash-5.1$ ls -l /dev/tty
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 0 Apr 6 09:27 /dev/ttyThis isn't a 'bleeding edge' install of current, but an iso from 2021-02-11. There's probably some blindingly obvious gotcha I missed. But I don't see it, so you'll have to tell me:)
