 Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2017 3:12 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Virtualbox modules, again... |
 |
|
This has got to be the worst package on the system. Every time it upgrades something breaks. This is a fresh install and it won't build. I cannot make heads or tails of the output.
Build Log
Emerge info for the modules package
So why isn't it building this time? It almost looks like gibberish at the end of the build log.
*UPDATE*
The solution is posted here.

The_Great_Sephiroth,
You are making life hard for yourself.
Since you are using a testing kernel, use testing virtualbox and testing virtualbox-modules too.
Its a PITA to keep out of kernel modules like virtualbox-modules building with newer kernels.
There may or may not be patche(s) for you. That's patches to virtualbox-modules.

You need virtualbox-module-5.1.26 with kernel 4.12 (see bug)

How did I get a testing kernel? I emerged "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources" without unmasking a thing. This kernel came down to many systems recently including AD DCs. How is it happening?
*UPDATE*
| Code: |
9y84mj1 ~ # l /etc/portage
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18 Sep 7 02:00 bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1539 Sep 18 23:30 make.conf

drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 36 Sep 18 23:15 package.license
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 112 Sep 14 12:42 package.mask

drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22 Sep 14 12:36 repos.conf

There isn't even a "package.accept_keywords" file or directory.

The kernel does not APPEAR to be unmasked or experimental.

@The_Great_Sephiroth: you right, kernel 4.12.12 is stable.
In bug that I posted there are also two patches for make working virtualbox 5.0.40 with new kernel

Well, according to the packages from gentoo's site, it lists 4.12.12 as stable for amd64, x86, alpha, and ia64... So I would think that is how you got it. According to the git log, it says it was made stable on 2017-09-13.
Edit: You know, just because a new kernel was downloaded does not mean you need to use it... |

That is why I thought that I had somehow pulled a testing kernel down. Neddy has a wealth of knowledge and has helped me many times in the past as I learn and grow with Gentoo. Guess he was mistaken this time, which means the stable kernel released is too new for the stable VBox. I unmasked Virtualbox, the modules, and the additions for version 5.1.26 and will use that until a stable version which works is released. Thanks for the help!

No worries, we figured it out and all is good. I unmasked 5.1.26 and once a stable version beyond that is released I'll be back to no testing stuff again. I'm sure I'll be back in due time when some other upgrade stops me and I can't figure it out.
For those who come here with this problem, the solution is simple. Either create /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords as a file and put the following lines into it, or create it as a directory and place a file in that directory with the following lines in it. Then you can emerge Virtualbox and the guest additions ISO without a hitch.
| Code: |
=dev-util/kbuild-0.1.9998_pre20131130-r1 ~amd64
=app-emulation/virtualbox-5.1.26 ~amd64
=app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-5.1.26 ~amd64
=app-emulation/virtualbox-additions-5.1.26 ~amd64
=app-emulation/virtualbox-extpack-oracle-5.1.26.117224 ~amd64
|
For those who are curious, I created the directory and then created a file named "app-emulation.virtualbox-5.1.26" inside of it with the lines above in it. Worked like a charm.

Why create it manually when portage can do it for you? | Code: | $ su -c "emerge -1avt =dev-util/kbuild-0.1.9998_pre20131130-r1"
Password:
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ~] dev-util/kbuild-0.1.9998_pre20131130-r1::gentoo 1,675 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 1,675 KiB
The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
(see "package.accept_keywords" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by =dev-util/kbuild-0.1.9998_pre20131130-r1 (argument)
=dev-util/kbuild-0.1.9998_pre20131130-r1 ~amd64
Would you like to add these changes to your config files? [Yes/No] |
Then y and ENTER ... |

charles17,
I create all my /etc/portage/* files/dirs by hand. Letting portage do it all the time is a bad habit.
Portage won't clean it up later.

I didn't say do it all the time. And the interactive method isn't very far from manually editing. But it avoids invalid atom messaged caused by mistyping.

There is eix-test-obsolete, works well at least for package.{,accept_}keywords. |

charles17,
Thank you for the eix-test-obsolete. I didn't know about that.
