I am using linux-zen. Which one virtualbox-host-modules should I install?
:: There are 3 providers available for VIRTUALBOX-HOST-MODULES:
:: Repository galaxy
1) virtualbox-host-modules-artix
:: Repository community
2) virtualbox-host-dkms 3) virtualbox-host-modules-arch |
virtualbox-host-dkms
dkms package will build the module for your kernel, the post update will take a bit longer but the module should work (as long as it support given kernel)
You can read more about dkms at Archwiki
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support
virtualbox-host-dkms works fine with linux-zen. Be sure to have linux-zen-headers installed, otherwise the module won't be built.
virtualbox-host-dkms works fine, and should and must works with ALL installed kernel, if headers are installed.
of course you use as primary source artixlinux's repo galaxy!
mark as solved if your problem gone.
There's no vitualbox-host-modules-dkms in galaxy repo. Should I install it from Arch's community repository?
of course
In your case ''virtualbox-host-dkms" will offer only one version for install 8)
pacman -S virtualbox-host-dkms
P.S: vitualbox-host-modules-dkms does not exist ;-) feel free read another topic in this forum. in last 5 days is your question the 3. question about modules. all topis was resolved.
in other words:
you can always install virtualbox-host/guest modules for linux-zen or any linux-something with virtualbox-host/guest-dkms only! why? Look at the dependencies! ;)
virtualbox-host-modules-arch need linux, and same is with virtualbox-host-modules-artix. so your linux-zen is not 'linux' :-)
