[SOLVED] xorg and vbox-guest updates vboxvideo not loading

Hello,

I have updated the xorg and the virtualbox-archlinux-additions-4.1.4-2 and virtualbox-archlinux-modules-4.1.4-2 but it doesn't work. The vboxvideo driver seems to be outdated. The gdm doesn't come up.

[    27.477] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so

Did you rebuilt the modules?

Have you tried using IgnoreABI option?

startx -- -ignoreABI

I have done all steps mendintored in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … lBox_Guest

It is not neccessary to rebuild the modules. I can try to rebuild the mkinitcpio.

EDIT: ignoreABI works, rebuild of mkinitcpio is not neccessary, because the modules are not linked in.

well, it should work out of the box. i just tried it.

do pacman -Qo /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so

the driver in virtualbox-archlinux-additions is in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo.so so i guess you used the guest additions from the iso and did ./VBox...run some time ago

Yes, I used till a few months ago the vbox iso, I will try tomorrow the pacman -Qo command, thank you in advance and will report the results!

Hey I had the same problem (over here). Sure enough, vboxvideo_drv.so was the culprit, you should be safe deleting it (or mv'ing it some place safe until you're sure it works) after installing virtualbox-archlinux-additions.

Hello and good morning,

thank you for your help, its solved.

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so

did NOT work, because it can't be found a package to that file. Removing the libs of vboxguestadditions in /opt/ has worked, also cleaning up the links from /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/. At that step I also cleaned up older versions of the iso guest additions (there where 3...)

In future I will only use the arch package for the guest additions, that works better than the iso files. Thank you for that great work!
