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.

@drankinatty Thanks for appreciating the package. Working fine for me too.

Kudos on the fast update -- all working well.

@drankinatty There is no virtualbox-bin directory on the AUR sources.

drankinatty commented on 2021-05-05 21:37 (UTC)

Was inclusion of the ./virtualbox-bin directory in the source package intentional?

Well, the commit of "Add patch for linux 5.11" should do it. You were one step ahead. I just built from the teestbuild which incorporates the patch. (I am quite pleasantly surprised you already had it covered) Now if we can just get Oracle to fix the guest issue with 5.10+, we will be is great shape.

@drankinatty I have no problems building the virtualbox kernel modules with latest 5.11.1 kernel. Works fine for me.

Fun continues. vboxnetflt fails to build with 5.11. Bug: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20198 The testbuilds https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds as of revision 142917 allows 5.11 vboxnetflt module to build on Arch. However, Arch host/Arch Guest, Guest will fail to boot with Kernel Panic for kernels after 5.9. Bug is months old and still unresolved https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20055

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
