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.

6.1.18-1 bug can't select ISO file in KIO Open dialog is gone

Any luck with 6.1.18 that came out on 1/12/21? Note, I built from 6.1.18 and the Archlinux Host is fine. However, attempting to update the Archlinux guest to 5.10 succeeds in installing the Linux_Guest_Additions, but on reboot a Kernel Panic occurs. This has been an continual issue with Linux 5.10 guests. (make a snapshot before you try) Reverting the guest to Linux 5.9.14 and all is good.

See: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20055

@ElijahLynn This package is not the virtualbox extension pack. You can find the extension pack here. The package description already states what differentiates it from the repository one: "Oracle branded non-OSE".

Appreciate that @Kr1ss. I read that a bit and see it is basically the "VirtualBox Extension Pack" which according to https://www.nakivo.com/blog/how-to-install-virtualbox-extension-pack/, says:

  • Support for USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 devices
  • Host webcam pass-through
  • VirtualBox Remote Desktop Protocol (VRDP)
  • Disk image encryption with AES algorithm
  • Intel PXE Boot ROM

Would be good if somehow this package could put that in a description of sorts to distinguish the two because as an outsider, I had no idea.

@ElijahLynn basically the package in [community] provides you the fully free and open source edition, while this one here is the Oracle branded one, containing some proprietary extensions. (See §1 in the licensing FAQ)

What is the difference between virtualbox-bin AUR and https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/virtualbox/?

drankinatty commented on 2020-10-21 07:48 (UTC)

Yes, thank you, after discussing on the vbox-users list, it was the binary.iso that contains the files that needed patching and there isn't any way for you to do that. Sorry for the noise -- also 6.1.16 is out and works fine with Linux 5.9.1 -- all you need to do is update the build no., drop the patch, set release to 1 and regen the checksums. (I hate kernel version updates....)

dbermond commented on 2020-10-19 03:22 (UTC)

@drankinatty I have an impression that you did not read my previous comment. I'll repeat it one more time: there is no guest additions source to patch here because this is a -bin (pre-compiled) package. There is only dkms sources to patch on this package. And there is nothing being patched on '/tmp' here.

If you are just repackaging what is built in virtualbox-bin-guest-iso-6.1.14-3-any.pkg.tar.zst that is provided as part of this package, then it's Oracle's issue. The problem is -- while you patch /tmp/vbox.0/r0drv/linux/the-linux-kernel.h to build this package -- the src files installed from virtualbox-bin-guest-iso-6.1.14-3-any.pkg.tar.zst to the guest when you install the guest-additions are not patched. So is there away to patch the same files you patch to build the host modules (with the same patch) so they are packaged in the virtualbox-bin-guest-iso-6.1.14-3 built by this package so that guest-additions build?
