Hi,

I has been hearding to much good commentaries about the desktop ‘deepin’ in endeavouros and will like to see it but when i try to get virtualbox, the two options are giving to me these results which i think it is only for experts:

[keos@keos-pc ~]$ virtualbox
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
         available for the current kernel (5.4.13-arch1-1) or it failed to
         load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

           sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
[keos@keos-pc ~]$

Is it here any other sandbox …?

Thanks!

virtualbox is good, qemu is fine, but you have more thinger on it also it does not use a dynamic disk like vbox… in vbox you setup space so much but if you dont use it full it does not growth on the pc not so big, on qemu is reservate like 20 or 10gb at once, in vbox it growth until you install more on it…

About the wiki: the step 5 … it it a continuation of the whole process or it is just following the ‘optional’ step 4?.

sudo modprobe vboxdrv
is needed for the process and is not optional.
