 Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2018 5:00 pm Post subject: [SOLVED]vbox guest additions fail against 4.17 |
 |
|
Hello!
I installed the 4.17 kernel and I did an emerge @module-rebuild
I got the following errors https://paste.pound-python.org/show/KexmfktOESI6TSEohlQO/
Probably fedeliallalinea could see if there is a patch somewhere.
Thanks in advance

Have you read the patch? It concerns the version 5.2.8 of VirtualBox and I am on 5.2.12. This has already been incorporated in the 5.2.12 if you read the changelogs on the web site of VirtualBox.
But here it concerns the functions ttm_tt_init and ttm_bo_init
So I need the help of fedeliallalinea who knows the issues with VBox quite well. He has helped me many times and I am sure he'll be able to write the sequence of commands to make it work on Gentoo.
Cheers |

I don't think it's a attitude to have with those who want to help you

No simple I seach if there is a open bug in virtualbox [urlhttps://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Bugtracker]bug tracker[/url]....

... but unfortunately in this case does not exists, the problem is the changed api on ttm_tt_init function but I don't kwon how resolve issue.

If I have offended Jaglover I offer my apologies. I didn't mean to be harsh to him. I should develop assertiveness.
I had already checked your previous patch for the kernel 4.16 but I saw that the functions giving the errors were not the same. I can wait a little as I still have the 4.16.13 kernel. Either 5.2.14 will fix the issue or hopefully you'll be able to find a patch on Fedora or OpenSUSE.
Thanks for your quick reply. |

And you tried kernel module instead of app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions?
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
[*] Virtualization drivers --->
<M> Virtual Box Guest integration support
Device Drivers --->
[*] Staging drivers --->
<M> Virtual Box Graphics Card |

I did it already with the kernel 4.16 but unfortunately the support for the guest additions in the kernel is quite limited as this didn't do anything the last time but I'll try it on another VM to see if it changes anything. |

I tried this in a VM with Xfce. The situation is worse. I can launch applications but once the window is open I can't minimize, maximize or close the window and I was unable to shut the VM down within the guest. I was forced to shut the machine down through one of the options of the menu of VirtualBox.
Do you think I need to file a bug to VirtualBox?
Best regards |

I did it and it is the ticket 17801 on the Bugtracker of VirtualBox.

I created the patch for virtualbox-guest-additions-5.2.12 but you should, as usual, manually patch
| Code: | # ebuild /usr/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions/virtualbox-guest-additions-5.2.12.ebuild clean prepare
# cd /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions-5.2.12/work
# patch -p1 < /path/to/patch/virtualbox-guest-addition-kernel-4.17.patch
# ebuild /usr/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions/virtualbox-guest-additions-5.2.12.ebuild clean prepare
# ebuild /usr/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions/virtualbox-guest-additions-5.2.12.ebuild merge |

When I apply the sequence of commands I get for the first command this message:
| Code: | | shell-init : erreur de détermination du répertoire actuel : getcwd : ne peut accéder aux répertoires parents : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type |
But the source is prepared.
When I execute the command patch -p1 < /path/to/the/patch I get:
| Code: | can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------

--------------------------
File to patch: |
I tried to clean it several times but I always get the same message.
What should I need to do?

I found a workaround. I did emerge @module-rebuild which failed then I cd /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions-5.2.12/work followed by patch -p1 < /path/to/patch followed by ebuild /usr/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions/virtualbox-guest-additions-5.2.12.ebuild install qmerge and this succeeded.
Thanks a lot for your help to both of you.
Best regards,

The virtualbox-guest-additions compiled correctly but there is another problem now. I can open each application but then I can't use the mouse to click. I can't minimize, maximize and exit.
I lose the focus.
I found a workaround. I created a file blacklist.conf under /etc/modprobe.d/ and I put this line in it:
blacklist vboxguest

When you need help with errors, please run the failed command under LC_MESSAGES=C so that untranslated output is produced. Based on the general structure, I think this is telling you that you are in a directory that does not exist. That will almost certainly lead to other problems. | pourpier wrote: | | But the source is prepared. |
After that failure, what is the output if you run pwd ; ls -la ; ls -la $(pwd)? |

It hit me too, I even didn't notice, because I mostly run VirtualBox Gentoo in console mode.
Now as Kernel includes vboxvideo modules, do you think to break virtualbox-guest-additions into several sub pkgs like virtualbox-guest-modules, virtualbox-guest-utils and somehow splitting as per kernel versions. If I run several kernel versions, I have builtd virtualbox-guest for every version. |

You are right. As the sequence of commands implied that I had to change directory into /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions-5.2.12/work When it failed I was there and I started again from that directory.
What I don't understand is why is the output in French for the clean prepare command and in English for the output of the patch -p1 command!
Best regards. |

I am too new in Gentoo to be able to answer your question. Perhaps fedeliallalinea or Hu might help you.

| From looking at the source of =sys-devel/patch-2.7.6-r1, it does not appear to support localization. Therefore, that error message will always be in English. |
