Perfect - works again! Thanks!

I just updated PKGBUILD which should fix compilation and runtime errors by using source supplied curl library.

Just started getting this error after doing a system update yesterday. Just me or are others affected?

Failed to create the VirtualBoxClient COM object.

The application will now terminate.

Callee RC: NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0x80040154)

Running virtualbox via the terminal does not provide any additional errors beyond the normal Qt warnings.

Oh, wow, weird. It was failing on my end since the 7.2 patch release. My system was fully up to date. Nor sure why then, if it's fine from your end.I'll leave it there just in case other people have issues I guess.

@RodoMa92 KVM patch was updated from upstream beginning of September and I have since updated the PKGBUILD to use the new patch together with VirtualBox 7.2 sources. Everything compiles and seems to work fine, so do you think your patch is still required?

RodoMa92 commented on 2025-09-28 16:21 (UTC)

@xyzzy the issue is not the upstream patch, but the newer versions of curl that are included in modern distribution have changed a particular behaviour on a specific type. This patch linked here makes it compile correctly: https://gist.github.com/RodoMa92/b8fd8e3ffccbded297d242d0c2e35360

Feel free to add this to the PKGBUILD.

I see is there a reason that virtualbox conflicts with kvm without this package?

xyzzy commented on 2025-08-16 11:01 (UTC)

@OzzyHelix: We can't, because the latest KVM patch release is still for VirtualBox 7.1.6.

OzzyHelix commented on 2025-08-16 10:51 (UTC)

can we please get this updated to V7.2
