ah, virtualbox was dropped from Tumbleweed :-/

so, If you are using Tumbleweed and you want to also use virtualbox, I
suggest you to add this repo : "zypper ar
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox_Tumbleweed/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/Virtualization:VirtualBox_Tumbleweed.repo";
it contains virtualbox sources (link) from openSUSE:Factory, build
against Tubleweed repo (this is crucial for vbox kernel modules)

bye

Due to the insanity of the virtualbox code, I've now just dropped it
from Tumbleweed entirely, sorry.

I really don't recommend anyone running it on their systems the kernel
stuff is just too looney.  Especially as things like KVM work so much
better in the end.

best of luck,
