Thanks Valdis . A quick question... Why is a 5.4 kernel using 5.2 dkms source code? It seems to me if Ubuntu used the proper source code, then the problem would not exist.

Ask the out-of-tree virtualbox developers to fix their code to work with the newer kernel source. Nothing we can do about that, sorry. good luck! greg k-h ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
