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.

Which is the difference between virtualbox-bin and virtualbox packages?

nursoda commented on 2023-08-11 09:36 (UTC)

@Ralf_Mardorf: I managed to run a stable W11 on Arch using these packages

  • virtualbox
  • virtualbox-ext-oracle
  • virtualbox-guest-iso
  • virtualbox-host-dkms
  • virtualbox-sdk
  • vdfuse

for several months now using these VM settings:

  • System: 4 Processors, 8GB RAM, Chipset ICH9, TPM 2.0, EFI active, Nested Paging, PAE/NX, Hyper-V-Virtualization
  • Display: 256MB RAM, Controller VBoxVGA ← THAT made the difference

Hi ng0177, Oracle's concept is inherently inconsistent because if their products were as user-friendly as they claim, then there would be no need to offer Premier Support to paying users. Indeed, for Windows guests I use Virtualbox for ease of use, while for Linux I use QEMU/KVM. But since Virtualbox 6.1 will expire at the end of this year, I will probably have to give up Virtualbox. I can't use a Windows 11 guest with Virtualbox 7, regardless of which branch I use, so I'm maintaining my own packages at the moment.

$ pacman -Q virtual box
virtual box 1:6.1.46-7010.1

Regards, Ralf

A Oracle Linux guest installation seems not to respect the Workstation selection which is ignored but the Server version is always installed instead unlike during a native install. Anyone to reproduce?

@seboss666 Sorry, but Manjaro is not supported. Please seek help in your distribution support channels. AUR helpers (like yay) are also not supported on Arch Linux.

Hello,

I'm currently using the 7.0.6-3 from community, with the ext-pack from AUR (and the host modules for my 5.15 kernel - I'm on Manjaro).

But now yay wants to replace it with this package alongside the ext-pack. As I see from the Arch repository that the package still exist (cf https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/virtualbox/), is there a way to prevent this one to be "selected" ?

"Which package should I install?"

Maybe you are asking the wrong question. The culprit is probably not a missing package, but your AUR helper yay and/or that you don't build within a clean chroot.

Hi, I don't build virtualbox-bin anymore, but I maintain my own virtualbox 6.1.40 package, based on the community PKGBUILD, since the community/virtualbox 7.0+ as well as the aur/virtualbox-bin 7.0+ packages can't run a Windows 11 guest on my machine.

If I try to build without a clean chroot it fails to build, too.

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep virtualbox\  /var/log/pacman.log | grep 6.1.40 | tail -6
[2022-11-01T17:48:40+0100] [ALPM] upgraded virtualbox (6.1.40-1 -> 7.0.2-1)
[2022-11-13T22:16:10+0100] [ALPM] upgraded virtualbox (7.0.2-2 -> 1:6.1.40-702.2)
[2022-11-18T23:07:23+0100] [ALPM] upgraded virtualbox (1:6.1.40-702.2 -> 1:6.1.40-704.1)
[2023-01-04T15:50:37+0100] [ALPM] downgraded virtualbox (1:6.1.40-704.1 -> 7.0.4-3)
[2023-01-08T00:44:43+0100] [ALPM] installed virtualbox (1:6.1.40-704.3)
[2023-01-18T04:40:20+0100] [ALPM] upgraded virtualbox (1:6.1.40-704.3 -> 1:6.1.40-706.1)

IIRC I could build 1:6.1.40-702.2 and 1:6.1.40-704.1 in November 2022 without a clean chroot. At least when I tried to build 1:6.1.40-704.3 in January 2023 without a clean chroot it failed to build. 1:6.1.40-704.3 and 1:6.1.40-706.1 were build in a clean chroot without a problem. IOW try building within a clean chroot by following the DeveloperWiki's classic way guide. Regards, Ralf

seek solutions:
Which package should I install? What module is 'SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning' in?
Error code: 

Traceback (most recent call last):

Anyone interested in maintaining virtualbox6-bin? The 6.1 branch will remain supported until December 2023. See https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
