What do I need to do in order to get Oracle VM Virtualbox to work properly again?

First, what version of openSUSE are you using? You seem to have mixed Tumbleweed with another release, and that will lead to more problems. Show the output of

zypper lr -d

Did I mix up Tumbleweed with another software repository or not? It looks like libdvdcss is version 12.2. I’m not sure about the others. I was very careful to read, re-read, and follow the exact guidelines for switching to Tumbleweed from OpenSuSE 64 bit 12.2. I might have made a small mistake, but I doubt it.

5

What’s openSUSE current? Are those the tumbleweed repos? From your first post,


The following packages are going to change vendor:
  kernel-default-devel  obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed -> openSUSE
  kernel-desktop-devel  obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed -> openSUSE
  kernel-devel          obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed -> openSUSE
  kernel-source         obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed -> openSUSE
  kernel-syms           obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed -> openSUSE
  kernel-xen-devel      obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed -> openSUSE

it looks like you kernel sources switched from tumbleweed to one of the standard repositories, but I can’t see any in your repos. Can anyone else see what this “openSUSE” vendor is?

I canceled that zypper dup command. It would have reverted me from Linux kernel 3.6.5-10-desktop to 3.4.x. I did not change vendors.

If you are going to use Tumbleweed it is highly recommended to only use
openSUSE-current repos, packman-tumbleweed and tumbleweed. The use of
any other repos could lead to an unstable/unbootable system.

Okay, so I disabled some software repositories like Razor-QT, Google Earth, etc. This is what my software repositories looks like now:

Please wrap this in CODE tags next time. It makes it much easier to read.

Show

uname -a

and

rpm -qa | grep kernel

Now, how does it look?

I never saw the kernel-headers package for Linux kernel 3.6.5-10-desktop when it became available to download and install. Could it be forthcoming with a future update?

This is what I am still saying. I never saw kernel-headers available to download when Linux kernel 3.6.5-10-desktop was pushed out. How can I get it for my current Linux kernel so I can rebuild the Oracle VM Virtualbox kernel modules properly?

Now, how does it look?

I never saw the kernel-headers package for Linux kernel
3.6.5-10-desktop when it became available to download and install. Could
it be forthcoming with a future update?

Hi
Kernel-headers doesn’t exist for later kernels it’s now in
linux-glibc-devel.

Checking the Tumbleweed repo, everything is up-to-date but the kernel-xen. Do you need this for a reason? Why don’t you disable everything but the Tumbleweed repos and do a dup with that? Try installing VBox afterward.
