Hello,

i’m on tumbleweed KDE with i9 cpu and nvidia graphics card, since 2026-06-24 update virtualbox fails to launch a vm: the desktop freeze and I’m unable to do anything. I need to restart my computer.

The virtualbox logs are blank, and i found nothing on systemd logs.

Is anyone else experiencing this ?

I found that virtualbox has been upgrade to 7.2.10 on 2026-06-23. After rollbacking virtualbox to 7.2.8 it works, if someone has the same problem

I found the problem reported in virtualbox github: https://github.com/VirtualBox/virtualbox/issues/711 , removing kvm.enable_virt_at_load= 0 from my grub.conf solves the problem.
Hope it will help
