Hi Experts,
I just updated today my Tumbleweed installation and now facing the problem that my system does not allow me to start any Virtualbox machine because the vboxdrv is not installed. Looking at the messages I noticed that virtualbox was at version 5.18.0 while it could be updated to version 5.22.1. But this update is blocked due to a required downgrade of libopenssl! Which of course is not possible, due to other dependencies.
The vbox drv is not available to the actual kernel(4.11.1) in Tumbleweed, so the machines can not be started. Can we expect an update of the virtual box packages soon?

Jörn Hi.
Rather then RPM packages, I downloaded the .run file instead. On Linux downloads page, the last one is all distributions. The link is .run file. Download this, change permissions to executable and run as root. I am using this on TW and Leap at the moment. In my experience, .run install is better than RPMs from either Opensuse or Oracle.
