Rebooting or zypper dup plus reboot won’t help.

Any advice?

NVIDIA repo enabled on this Dell Precision, which is to me the only obvious difference to another TW on Dell Precision, which is running VBox just fine.

Did you already test this?

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1248579

VB runs fine with Nvidia here.

suse_rasputin · September 9, 2025, 7:38am

I renamed ~/.config/VirtualBox, and added my VMs again in the GUI (no segfault…). but starting VMs won’t work, as:

VirtualBox - Error in suplibOsInit
... kernel driver not loaded, ...Please try setting up again by running

/sbin/vboxconfig

as root....

Which fails:

> sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
[sudo] password for root: 
Sources for building host modules are not present,
Use 'sudo zypper install virtualbox-host-source kernel-devel kernel-default-devel' to install them. Quitting ..

Devel kernel needed? Worked apparently without in the past…

Sauerland · September 9, 2025, 7:40am

Which virtualbox is running?
zypper se -si virtualbox

suse_rasputin · September 9, 2025, 7:45am

here we go

~> zypper se -si virtualbox

Sauerland · September 9, 2025, 8:05am

Does it works if you boot with Kernel 6.16.1?

suse_rasputin · September 9, 2025, 8:16am

Strange, this time a reboot made the VM start up automagically.

So apparently: SOLVED for the moment…

For the sake of completeness:

udarh9 · September 9, 2025, 12:33pm

@suse_rasputin I’ve had almost the exact issues like yours. However , I think you should update the compatibility pack to the latest version also.

suse_rasputin · September 9, 2025, 4:23pm

Did zypper dup and now:

~> zypper se -si virtualbox

i+ | virtualbox-qt          | package | 7.2.0-2.1           | x86_64 | repo-oss

What is the advantage? Why did the package appear twice in the output this morning?

hui · September 9, 2025, 4:28pm

As the kmp’s are multiversion packages (like the kernel itself), one can have multiple versions installed at the same time. If you would have only one version and there would be a problem with it, you couldn’t start/use your system anymore. That is why multiversion packages like kernel exists. So this is completely normal.

The number of kept kmp’s is defined by the settings for the multiversion kernel in zypp.conf (you only keep kmp’s for the installed kernels).

Another example output:

ich@laptopneu:~> LANG=C zypper se -si virtualbox

I assume this is from the host system and I don’t know if it might be related, but are you sure you need that package on the host?

malcolmlewis · September 9, 2025, 5:15pm

@suse_rasputin if you system is truly up to date, then should be on the 6.16.5 kernel…

hui · September 9, 2025, 5:19pm

The actual kernel in TW is kernel-default-6.16.5 not 6.15.5

malcolmlewis · September 9, 2025, 5:28pm

@hui yes, there are some connectivity issues to come back and edit…

The kmp should rebuild on a kernel upgrade?

suse_rasputin · September 10, 2025, 7:18am

To the best of my knowledge it has to be installed (ideally identical versions…) on both host and guest

After last zypper dup yesterday evening:

uname -a
Linux dellscsi80722 6.16.5-1-default #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Sep  4 15:51:43 UTC 2025 (642f24d) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

To me it would be very interesting to learn, how a botched ~/.config/VirtualBox directory can cause a segfault. Sounds kind of crazy to me…

OrsoBruno · September 10, 2025, 1:32pm

Please consider the following quote from the late maintainer of VirtualBox on openSUSE: Virtual machines (Virt-Manager, VirtualBox) not working on Wayland - #12 by larryr

suse_rasputin · September 10, 2025, 3:27pm

Interesting! Iirc I never messed manually with the guest-tools package and it is installed on ALL 4 TW-KDE machines I use for VirtualBox…

Strange.

The OP in the linked post also did not remember installing the guest-tools on the host manually…
