Please try the test update packages in: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Maintenance:/7020/ openSUSE_Leap_42.3_Update/

I installed virtualbox-guest-kmp-default virtualbox-guest-tools virtualbox-guest-x11 from the maintenance repo you linked, upgraded host VirtualBox and related guest additions to 5.1.24: everything works fine. Please consider that this is a workaround to the bug I filed: my report was about building VB guest kernel modules, not about having them from the repos tracking the last VirtualBox release. Anyways, I'm happy to help in testing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Did you test the build scripts in that repo as well? They should fix your other problem.

No, I didn't - which package(s) do I need to install for testing the scripts? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1049830 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1049830#c13 --- Comment #13 from Larry Finger --- The correct command to rebuild the guest kernel modules is sudo /sbin/vboxguestconfig That script does all the housekeeping such as installing the prerequisite packages, etc. Scripts from Oracle sources are not supported, but there should be no need to lock anything and manually build the kernel modules unless you are running a non-standard kernel in your guest. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
