dkms install --no-depmod -m vboxhost -v 6.1.18_OSE -k 5.10.13-lqx2-1-lqx

==> Warning, `dkms install --no-depmod -m vboxhost -v 6.1.18_OSE -k 5.10.13-lqx2-1-lqx’ returned 10

and yes i have installed linux-lqx-headers. this error is across all distros so asking here as i’m likely to get quickest repsonse

What can i do? other than hate life?

joekamprad · February 7, 2021, 9:48pm

virtualbox-host-dkms package will build the modules for you if kernel gets updated, you do not need to run dkms-install manually.

simply reinstall it should do the trick

LizziAS · February 7, 2021, 10:18pm

tried several times… yes it should but it aint

and so the operative question is what to do about it?

as my post shows linux and linux-clear are unaffected by the error

joekamprad · February 7, 2021, 10:29pm

you are sure it is working? do you try starting a machine in Virtualbox while booted on the lqx kernel?

I just try and get the same error as @LizziAS

LizziAS · February 8, 2021, 3:27am

so no one has a solution? i have no path to downgrade

everyone else is on 5.10.12 but liquorix is on 5.12.13

Although I do not have the issue with
5.10.13-lqx2-1-lqx, as mentioned before, I do see the issue now with newest linux-xanmod-cacule 5.10.14-1 but not with newest linux-zen 5.10.14.zen1-1

In my case the issue is related to latest binutils upgrade to 2.36-3.
Downgrading to 2.35.1-1 fixes the compilation error for me.

LizziAS · February 10, 2021, 5:47pm

how did you come to this conclusion to do that?

mbod · February 10, 2021, 8:31pm

I do not recall anymore. I saw a hint in one other forum or website. I tried it and it worked.

EDIT:
Found it: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=263393
