DetailsDescription:
Immediately after updating to version 6.0.0 VirtualBox fails to start: $ vboxmanage startvm myvm VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the VirtualBox object! VBoxManage: error: Code NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0x80040154) - Class not registered (extended info not available) VBoxManage: error: Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running or failed to start. Same messages appear in a GUI window when started using the `virtualbox` command. All the VirtualBox drivers are loaded: $ lsmod | grep vbox vboxnetflt 32768 0 vboxnetadp 28672 0 vboxpci 28672 0 vboxdrv 499712 3 vboxpci,vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt This occurs on a server with a minimal collection of packages (just what is needed for VirtualBox to work). This does not occur on a desktop system with many packages installed on it (even after upgrade to 6.0.0). Hence it feels like some new dependency for VirtualBox 6.0.0 is missing from the PKGBUILD, and on the desktop machine it is, by chance, installed. |
This task depends upon

By comparing the outputs of `strace vboxmanage list vms` from the working and the non-working systems, I determined that installing the package "opus" solves the issue. Please make opus a dependency of VirtualBox (now it is a make-dependency only).
