second with @kenoelli said, I was getting the same error until I rebuilt from the latest PKGBUILD. Also after removing / replacing the regular virtualbox did you reboot to clear out the old vobxdrv module?

@tomsk Are you using the latest PKGBUILD 20240208-2? I used to have exactly the same error message with PKGBUILD 20240208-1 but the changes xyzzy committed recently fixed the issue.

Runs fine here :-) Maybe you can add optional language-files for virtualbox as well. These are available as ts-files as shown here: https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/nls/trunk/

I get an error, when I try to start VM (it worked with normal virtualbox):

Invalid function. (VERR_INVALID_FUNCTION). Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005) Component: ConsoleWrap Interface: IConsole {6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8}

I have been testing this and it works surprisingly well without the need to compile the modules. For my use it is more than enough, so I don't need the official version anymore. Kudos to the developers. The only flaw is that the program is not translated into my language.

As for the package, the references to the modules should be removed, as they are not needed.

Thanks but I'm afraid that I'm not ready to be a co-maintainer yet.

Thanks @gnlrdrvo, I just applied your suggestions. Would you be interested in co-maintaining this package?

gnlrdrvo commented on 2024-02-11 02:09 (UTC)

Some modifications may be needed:

  1. --disable-hardening is needed
  2. All setuid bits has to be removed, so probably -m0755 for Line 162 (and the comment on Line 161 can also be removed as well)
  3. The dependency on kernel modules (Line 145) can also be removed
