Description:
When launching virtualbox without the vboxdrv module loaded a warning is printed to the console: WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (kernel version here) or it failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by sudo /sbin/vboxconfig You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed. However the script mentioned does not exist in the Arch package for virtualbox. Ideally we would replace this message in VBox.sh (installed to /usr/bin/VBox) with an arch-specific message. Otherwise simply removing "by sudo /sbin/vboxconfig" would be an improvement. Additional info: * package version 6.1.14-1 Steps to reproduce: 1. install virtualbox 2. rmmod vboxdrv 3. run virtualbox 4. observe stdout |
