Good catch. Also, virtualbox-ose no longer exists.

I've altered it locally, but don't feel this justifies a new release. I'll stage the change, but will push it when the next virtualbox version is released.

The conflicts are wrong. The host modules have been renamed?
virtualbox-host-dkms
virtualbox-host-modules-arch

Thank you for the patch k0ste.

k0ste commented on 2016-04-03 10:30

This patch fix:
- Modules now build;
- Modules build via ALPM hook;
- Load all vbox modules (because we need network);
- modules-load.d in /usr, not /etc (etc for users, usr for packages);

Could you check whether there is a "dkms.conf" file in /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/5.0.16/source/?

This directory should be a symlink to /opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxhost

It is done at the very end of the PKGBUILD:

# Register into DKMS
install -dm 755 "$pkgdir/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/$pkgver"
ln -s '/opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxhost' "$pkgdir/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/$pkgver/source"

dkms autoinstall:
Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file.
File: does not exist.

@the9ull:
The package automatically registers itself with DKMS.

A simple "dkms autoinstall" probably would have sufficed.

The package warns for this during post_install:

cat <<EOF

==> Remember to add allowed users to the vboxusers group:
==> # gpasswd -a USERNAME vboxusers
==
==> To compile/load virtualbox modules automatically at startup you can add dkms in your DAEMONS
==
==> To build and install your modules run dkms autoinstall
EOF

(in contrast with my earlier comment, the package has always done this)

Hello,

with this package I had to build the kernel module myself, and no instuctions are provided by the isntall script.

I runned:

# cd /opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxhost/vboxdrv
# make && make install
# gpasswd -a USER vboxusers

I relogged and all worked.

pkgver=5.0.6
_build=103037

md5 9d67e2df72630dc2ac5983c7cdb1cf5f

Worked like a charm again.

I am currently on holiday, and it'll be another 2 weeks before I have access to my laptop / ssh key.

Let me know who I can make a (temporary) co maintainer to push this update.
