All,
Arch updated to Linux 5.3 kernel tonight and the update failed to
build the
kernel modules with several errors. I have opened bug:
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18949
I've attached to make.log here in case anyone can think of any
workarounds
to try. This is with gcc 9.1.0.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
(the 6.X version is not an option due the my use of headless windows
guests
that are unusably slow under the 6.X version -- see long thread
beginning
1/9/19 - Virtualbox 6.0.0 - Marked Slowdown for Window7 Guests? Linux
Guests OK)
I have patched the Archlinux Virtualbox 5.2.32 in AUR for Linux 5.3,
however
when updating the Archlinux Guest to Linux 5.3 shared folders are no
longer
available and the vboxsf module is not found. Is something else required
when
the guest is running Linux 5.3?
I ask because I have Win7 guests, openSUSE 15.0 and 15.1 guests and they
all
have no issue accessing the shared folder on the host. It is only the
Archlinux guest that cant use the shared folders.
All guests are access --headless over the LAN. Checking the guest
modules, the
only ones loaded are vboxvideo (X works fine, but the share clipboard
isn't) and vboxgues, e.g.
6:37 vl1:~> lsmod | grep vbox
vboxvideo 40960 2
drm_vram_helper 20480 1 vboxvideo
drm_kms_helper 212992 1 vboxvideo
drm 516096 6
drm_kms_helper,drm_vram_helper,vboxvideo,ttm
vboxguest 45056 5
With the 5.2 kernel, there were no problems with the shared folders on
the guest. mount -t vboxsf fails as well. However, the permanent mount
point is still there:
16:46 vl1:~> l /media/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 27 14:09 .
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 May 28 16:30 ..
drwxrwx--- 2 root vboxsf 4096 May 27 14:09 sf_davidvl
but it is empty. The Archlinux 5.3 host shows the shared folder active:
$ VBoxManage showvminfo arch_1_64
<snip>
Shared folders:
Name: 'davidvl', Host path: '/home/david' (machine mapping), writable
The host modules running are:
lsmod | grep vbox
vboxnetflt 32768 0
vboxnetadp 28672 0
vboxpci 28672 0
vboxdrv 487424 4 vboxpci,vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt
What else (and where else) would I check to see why the vboxsf isn't
working on the Linux-5.3 guest?
I cannot share your experience.
I have tested the latest 6.0.X test builds that contain the fixes for:
#18911 (closed defect: fixed) Fixes for Linux kernel 5.3 wanted - part 1
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18911
against a Fedora 31 guest VM, which is running a 5.3.0 kernel.
and this works contrary to what you described above.
However I'm not testing ArchLinux because it has to be manually nailed
onto the platter and I don't have time for that fun of installation
procedure
right now.
Here's the result, copied out of the guest VM using the shared clipboard:
