Arch Linux

I can confirm the problem, same is happening here.

Aditionally i am getting a new error moments before:

Mar 12 18:11:05 blackbird systemd[1]: systemd-modules-load.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Mar 12 18:11:05 blackbird systemd[1]: Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
Mar 12 18:11:05 blackbird systemd[1]: systemd-modules-load.service: Unit entered failed state.
Mar 12 18:11:05 blackbird systemd[1]: systemd-modules-load.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

...and the actual reported by you:

Mar 12 18:11:05 blackbird systemd-modules-load[172]: Failed to find module 'vboxnetadp\nvboxnetflt\nvboxdrv\n'


The problem was started after last 'pacman -Syu', when this packages got updated:

[2016-03-12 16:48] [ALPM] upgraded pcre (8.38-2 -> 8.38-3)
[2016-03-12 16:48] [ALPM] upgraded device-mapper (2.02.144-1 -> 2.02.145-1)

[2016-03-12 16:48] [ALPM] upgraded virtualbox (5.0.14-4 -> 5.0.16-1)
[2016-03-12 16:53] [PACMAN] Running '/usr/bin/pacman -U virtualbox-ext-oracle-5.0.16-1-any.pkg.tar.xz'

So, for sure o problem is in some of that packages above ^



sudo systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service

Got also the other errors, I think the whole service is set into a failed state if one of the modules could not be loaded. You can try to edit virtualbox-host-dkms.conf the way I mentioned above and restart systemd-modules-load.service, then the modules are found & loaded, and the state changes to a "active" state.

@Martin, thank you for the report, solution and feedback.

I will wait for a fix on mainstream, if it don´t happens in 1 or 2 days i will apply your solution.

What kernel and do you have the headers installed for it?

Edit, oh, I see, that's a new file. It's always been left up to the user in the past, no idea why it's now done by the package.

Kernel Version 4.4.5-1, header package is installed and all modules were built correctly and placed into /usr/lib/modules/4.4.5-1-ARCH/kernel/misc and are able to load using modprobe.

The error lies in the use of echo in the PKGBUILD to generate the file /usr/lib/modules-load.d/virtualbox-host-dkms.conf like this: echo "vboxnetadp\nvboxsf\nvboxguest\n" > "$pkgdir/usr/lib/modules-load.d/$pkgname.conf" Replacing echo with printf would solve the issue as printf aims to be predicable where echo is not.

You don't actually need printf. "echo" as such does not interpret escape characters by default, you need the "-e" option for that;

echo -e "vboxnetadp\nvboxsf\nvboxguest\n" > "$pkgdir/usr/lib/modules-load.d/$pkgname.conf"

(man bash, section SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS)

I can confirm the problem, same is happening here.

After the last update, similar to Alexandre (Semeion).

A fixed version is coming.
