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.

Remember, the flaw doesn't affect building the modules, they are located in /lib/modules/*/kernel/misc/. I'm short in time, so I only did a short test: $ asp update [snip] $ asp checkout virtualbox Cloning into '/tmp/virtualbox'... done. $ grep VER virtualbox/trunk/virtualbox-host-dkms.conf PACKAGE_VERSION=@VERSION@_OSE $ grep VER /usr/src/virtualbox-bin/dkms.conf PACKAGE_VERSION= $ nano /usr/src/virtualbox-bin/dkms.conf $ grep VER /usr/src/virtualbox-bin/dkms.conf PACKAGE_VERSION=5.2.0 $ sudo pacman -S linux{,-docs,-headers} [snip] :: Running post-transaction hooks...

Note, on upgrade from 5.1.28 to 5.2, dkms does not handle previous module unload as all upgrades between 5.1.2X have and following upgrade there is module and virtualbox version mismatch. Further, headless Windows clients accessed remotely can not receive keyboard or mouse input (regadless of host-key use) as there is an evident incompatibility between the 5.1.2X guest additions and the new 5.2 additions. Reported with Oracle ticket/17259. Just be aware after host upgrade to 5.2, if you have remote clients accessing headless windows guests, there is a high likelihood they will not be able to access the guest until guest additions are manually updated to 5.2 on the host machine (remote clients can no longer login and update guest additions as normal)

Bumped to 5.2.0 Dkms issue should be fixed now. Special thanks to Christian Hesse for some patching.

Hi, when virtualbox-bin was orphaned, I build 5.1.28 due to a lack of time from an incomplete edited 5.1.26 snapshot. Today I used your snapshot for 5.1.28, I only edited the "pkgrel" entry. Your snapshot suffers from the same issue as mine.

I tried to adapt this packages for VBox 5.2.0_*. 5.2.0_BETA2 works fine for me. 5.2.0_BETA3 and 5.2.0_RC1 were runing into trouble with the Kernel modules. I have copied the Makefile from BETA2 to RC1 and it work. I don't know what I have done, but it works.

Gary, On behalf of the entire AUR community, 'THANK YOU' for adopting this package. Kindest Regards, Dietrich T. Schmitz

Hello, Thanks for maintaining this package for Arch. I have an error: RTR3InitEx failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912) The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing '/sbin/vboxconfig' may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the PUEL version of VirtualBox. where: supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime what: 4 VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH (-1912) - The installed support driver doesn't match the version of the user. I have done everything I can think of, uninstall everything; reinstall everything; jump down, spin around, pick up a bail of cotton; wax on/wax off, to no avail. Can you help? Thank you. -- Dietrich
