@GeneArch I cannot reproduce your issue. VirtualBox is loading fine for me and everything is working as expected. Tested with Plasma and LXQt.
You said Plasma 5.11.1 but I think that you mean Qt 5.11.1, because Plasma is currently at 5.13.3.
Here is a link to a possibly related problem: https://www.virtualbox.org/pipermail/vbox-dev/2018-July/015046.html.
Please share your solution if you find something.
Running on plasma 5.11.1 i get problems with this package running setuid. Error on attempting to run Virtualbox gives:
Qt FATAL: FATAL: The application binary appears to be running setuid, this is a security hole. Aborted
Removing the setuid - app now starts but then complains it needs to be setuid root.
Thoughts on how to fix?
Thanks
gene
Only change from 5.2.12 to 5.2.14 are:
pkgver=5.2.14
_build=123301
sha256sums=('2ea513dadaab9b32df6c18827ebfe98524e297d2b44678ce1518a3486d8b3e73'

'5112f0e1ba3bd0bd92ef2edb2d21024e265abb02841aa29aa05410526adc273f')
I don't have much use for this. If anyone needs help adopting this, let me know
The only changes to PKGBUILD between 5.2.2 and 5.2.4 are:
pkgver=5.2.4
_build=119785
md5sums=('70973209cc9bc0e82e40a34362061f96'
'2d04c2e2d8c71558c910a51ec773731a'

'c32a61f3a1611e184098cc9b0d6765bb')
All diff/patch hunks succeed, but several will be off by 1 - 8 bytes of context. So for future updates, I suspect new diffs will need to be taken. For now, the changes above have 5.2.4 happily installed and running with the extension-pack just as they always have.
If it helps, the update PKGBUILD update required for 5.2.2 is simply:
pkgver=5.2.2 _build=119230
Works fine -- even loads the modules after install (unlike 5.2.0 -- but still messes with the setvideomodehint for current vms) Smoother than 5.2.0. It's a keeper. (not to mention the forced move to 5.2.X due to the 4.14 kernel update)
Linux 4.14.3-1 is provided by "Core". Trying to build the modules still results in the same errors. "Linux hosts: fixed kernel module compilation and start failures with Linux kernel 4.14 (bug #17267)" - https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog

Notice:
To avoid crashes when upgrading Guest Additions from version 6.x to 7.x on Windows guests, uninstall the old Guest Additions first, then reboot, and then install the new ones. It's recommended to do all these operations in Safe Mode. See this upstream bug ticket for more details.
