Hi,
since "[2023-08-25T11:46:21+0200] [ALPM] upgraded linux" I didn't run
virtualbox, but the modules were build. The 019-linux-6-4-10.patch [1]
is from the Arch repos' virtualbox 7+ build, when virtualbox modules
already failed to build with linux 6.4.10. It seemingly works for linux
6.4.12, too. I don't know if my PKGBUILD's "sed -i" fix is still
required to build virtualbox 6.1.46. It's probably obsolet and was only
required a while back. Note, in December Oracle discontinues Virtualbox
6+. I don't know what to do, to continue running a Windows 11 guest
then. Some people are able to run a Windows 11 guest in Virtualbox 7+,
but it still doesn't work with my 13th Gen Intel Core machine.
I nearly forgot to mention, that I build Virtualbox in a clean chroot.
Regards,
Ralf
