What should I do here? I’m new to Arch (and Linux in general).
You need to resolve the conflict manually but seems simple…
remove virtualbox-guest-dkms as it is not been at the repo for some time now already: sudo pacman -R virtualbox-guest-dkms now update system again.
And install the replacement you want, i would think you will not want the no-X version… so: sudo pacman -S virtualbox-guest-utils
And welcome at the forum, ask if something is unclear no dumb questions known here
I only downloaded the ISO like a week or two ago, but I guess I forgot to update . Thank you so much though, this solved my problem. So simple, couldn’t be clearer.
?
