@Yashka: the depmod (see earlier posts) command is probably sufficient.
It is actualy. I dont know why it didnt worked for the first time.
]]>I've tried pacman -Syu and pacman -Syy to try to force the package list to include the updated package but no dice...
So how long am I likely to have to wait?
]]>You also can fix the package yourself. Get the PKGBUILD and the other needed files from abs (If you use yaourt you can use "yaourt -G virtualbox-host-modules"), edit the *.install files to use the correct kernel version and build with makepkg.
]]>Im using Arch as the host and trying to use other OSs as guests in virtualbox.
But when I try to use virtualbox and push start (on XP) it say:
"The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded
or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please
reinstall the kernel module by executing'pacman -S virtualbox-host-modules'
as root. If you don't use our stock kernel, install
virtualbox-host-source and execute dkms autoinstall."
when I execute: # pacman -S virtualbox-host-modules it say:
(1/1) reinstalling virtualbox-host-modules
depmod: ERROR: could not open directory /lib/modules/3.9.4-1-ARCH: No such file or directory
depmod: FATAL: could not search modules: No such file or directory
In order to use the new version, reload all virtualbox modules manually.
I tryied to execute "depmod 3.9.5-1-ARCH" but in my case it didnt help,
I also running on 3.9.5-1-ARCH.
So basicly there is nothing to do now, but waiting for bug to be fixed?
Try running "depmod 3.9.5-1-ARCH" at the command line. (The package right now is running "depmod 3.9.4-1-ARCH", which is causing the problem.)
Thx! The depmod command did complete.
However, I still had a black screen when starting GDM. In addition to the screen being mostly black it had some colorful fringes on top.
KDM works though. So I think it must be a problem with GDM's graphics mode...
I'm having the same problem. Installed today in a VirtualBox virtual machine...

]]>It has been marked out of date, probably for the same reason. The maintainer usually takes care of things like this quickly.
]]>Wow, I just checked the install file, it's hardcoded to that version. Needs a bug report.
Thanks for taking a look. Could you let me know exactly which package?
]]>what's the output of "uname -r"?
3.9.5-1-ARCH
