Title: [SOLVED] VirtualBox stopped working recently
Post by: ED209 on 17 December 2022, 00:44:38
Hi,

I think something to do with differering versions?

Kernel
Code: [Select]
Kernel: 6.0.12-artix1-1

Virtualbox
Code: [Select]
galaxy/virtualbox-host-modules-artix 7.0.2-6 [installed]

Modprobe output
Code: [Select]
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/6.0.12-artix1-1

Can someone please advise how I can fix this?

Many thanks

You could try virtualbox-host-dkms instead of virtualbox-host-modules-artix

I use virtualbox-host-dkms but the arch package. And all my other virtualbox packages are the arch packages. (I can't remember why or when I switched to them?)
Currently working.

cheers for that gripped, worked but it also needed a sudo modprobe vboxdrv afterwards.  Thanks again.  ED209, does that do it for you too?
