I should also note that right now there appear to be problems with
the latest
kernel, 5.18.0. The message in the terminal where VB was started
from, says:
"WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no
module
available for the current kernel (5.18.0-1-amd64) or it failed to load."
Probably a temporary problem. When starting Debian with the previous
kernel
5.17.0, VB still works.
Thanks for the quick response. Without correctly functioning guest
additions - by which I specifically mean USB - VirtualBox is almost
useless for me. I would agree with you that kernel 5.18.0 is the most
likely source of the problem and living on in hope is the best option.
Hey folks -- I was OP on the thread that raised the dmks issue; with
thanks to Keith Bainbridge, ensuring linux-kernel-headers for 5.18 were
installed, and then reinstalling virtualbox and virtualbox-dkms resolved
the issue for me. I can confirm this is working on 5.18.0-1-amd64 right
now.
The last time I looked at Sid the VirtualBox version was very dated. I
doubt that you have achieved success via VBox 6.1.34?
