IDK what's the best approach, I use genymotion only sporadically. I guess it depends on how fast the genymotion devs will be at updating to virtualbox 7; at first I thought this was permanent, but in this article they say it's not compatible yet.

If you end up making both optional, put also a pinned comment here that explains the situation, that way more people will see it.

@ThePirate42, that's a pretty good point... although to be fair, virtualbox wasn't optional until genymotion 3.3.0 (correct me if I'm wrong there!).

Anyway, I'm happy to put virtualbox as an optional dep along with qemu - and prob just write some text in the install saying you need install/configure which hypervisor you want.

Also, another option is making qemu the default (i.e. make that a dep).

Any other thoughts?

I can't use genymotion with virtualbox backend, because genymotion isn't compatible with virtualbox 7.0.0 or higher. Whats the point in having virtualbox as a non-optional dependency?

Thanks @huyz,

Good suggestion - anyone else have thoughts on this (making virtualbox optional since genymotion apparently now supports qemu)?

I'm not sure on this - given that most users just want to install it and have it work - plus we do install a virtualbox.conf to /etc/modules-load.d/ to ensure loading the required modules.

Another option is to create a new AUR package (like genymotion-qemu or something).

On 3.3.0 genymotion supports using qemu for virtualization. 

gmtool config --hypervisor qemu

So perhaps virtualbox should be optional.

Hey @sync147, it's most likely virtualbox. Genymotion depends on a functioning virtualbox. You'll need the virtualbox host modules for your kernel, or else use the dkms modules. Try installing the virtualbox-host-dkms package and restarting. That should get you going.

When I try to add a device I get the error . Segmentation fault (core image recorded) No errors in the log.

Hi, I need to run genymotion as regular user (not root) to circumvent that problem. Any help ?

All, have added a custom DLAGENT to the PKGBUILD to workaround upstream blocking wget/curl/etc. Is now working for me. Please test and report back if still are having an issue.
