Virtualbox DKMS package fails to rebuild kernel modules

Hello,

After the latest round of updates (this morning), Virtualbox DKMS fails to rebuild kernel modules.

I find the following error in the generated make.log :

Code: [Select]

I tried to reinstall gcc and virtualbox-host-dkms packages, but I still get the error.

Any idea about what went wrong ?

The reason for needing to rebuild the DKMS virtualbox modules is that I get this error when starting the host manager :
Code: [Select]
Failed to create the VirtualBoxClient COM object.
The application will now terminate.
Callee RC:NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0x80040154)

Yesterday it was starting just fine.

Did you try after a reboot.

Do these directories exist?
- /usr/lib/modules/6.16.7-artix1-1/build
- /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/7.2.2_OSE/build

Re: Virtualbox DKMS package fails to rebuild kernel modules

Reply #4 –
Both directories exist.
Just to make sure, I rebooted and then removed and installed again all Virtualbox packages (virtualbox, virtualbox-guest-iso and virtualbox-host-dkms).
The same error is raised when DKMS builds the kernel modules :

I saw on the gremlins the kernel 6.16.9.artix1-1 and I installed it.

Re: Virtualbox DKMS package fails to rebuild kernel modules

Reply #6 –
Unfortunately this is still not sufficient to address the issue with the error thrown when launching Virtualbox GUI console.

Code: [Select]
Failed to create the VirtualBoxClient COM object.
The application will now terminate.
Callee RC:NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0x80040154)

When removing the Virtualbox pakage from official repository (world) and installing the AUR package , the GUI console starts and works normally.

My guess is that the official package probably suffers from a bad dependency  ?
