[SOLVED] Virtualbox Guest ( vboxguest , vboxvideo, vboxsf ) not found

i3_Arch · 2014-07-19 15:39:24

After installing virtualbox-guest-utils, I created /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf

that contained

vboxsf
vboxvideo
vboxguest

Virtualbox guest additions are not working. This worked like a week or two ago.....

Any ideas ?

pacman -Ss virtualbox |grep utils
community/virtualbox-guest-utils 4.3.14-1 [installed]

modprobe -a vboxvideo vboxsf vboxguest
modprobe: WARNING: Module vboxvideo not found.
modprobe: WARNING: Module vboxsf not found.

Rebuild the package against the latest kernel package and open a bug report if that indeed fixes it.

rebuilding the package isn't the solution, running depmod is.

Correction: rebuilding isn't the EXACT solution, but the post_install script will run the depmod and will solve the problem

Which is the strangest part of all, why didn't depmod run correctly the first time? There are now a couple of reports in the pacman subforum about this happening with the host modules as well. Strange.

@scimmia - I guess because arch is not stable
