[Bug 1783267] Re: linux-modules-extra breaks virtualbox guest modules
This looks like a regression in the kernel builtin module, nothing I can fix in virtualbox side. There have been breaking changes in newer 5.2+ virtualbox kernel modules, I suggest to avoid having them in 16.04, and to move to 18.04 if you want a newer codebase ** Changed in: virtualbox-hwe (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1783267 Title: linux-modules-extra breaks virtualbox guest modules To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1783267/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1783267] Re: linux-modules-extra breaks virtualbox guest modules
I tried your suggestion in #17 and uninstalled (purged) virtualbox- guest-dkms-hwe and rebooted on kernel 4.15.0-30. Result: my system is just as broken as before, virtualbox-guest-utils-hwe.service also fails to start and my screen remains black after that (I suppose X doesn't start either). So there is definitely an incompatibility between virtualbox-guest-*-hwe packages and the latest HWE kernel on xenial now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1783267 Title: linux-modules-extra breaks virtualbox guest modules To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1783267/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1783267] Re: linux-modules-extra breaks virtualbox guest modules
Hey Gianfranco, thanks for looking into this. :) > ok the DKMS failure, but does everything work as expected? No, my system does not finish booting with kernel 4.15. systemd reports that virtualbox-guest-utils-hwe.service failed and, after a few other services, stops loading more. I never get to the login screen. Why shouldn't I install virtualbox-guest-dkms-hwe?
