Top posting because this is your obligatory reminder that a reliance of 3rd party kernel drivers is not recommended for Tumbleweed users
This is clearly documented on the Tumbleweed wiki - https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed
The reason for this recommendation is precisely because of issues such as these - they happen and will continue to happen as long as the 3rd parties in question (Nvidia and Oracle/VirtualBox) do not keep up with the pace of Kernel development
Now I've said 'We told you so', I do hope this thread finds suitable workarounds for users who are affected, and if not, I'd strongly encourage the use of nouveau Nvidia drivers instead of the proprietary drivers, and the use of KVM instead of Virtualbox.
Good advice, but what do users that have Windows hosts do about virtual machines? Is there a KVM implementation for them? One other question: Why is the Factory build request for VB 5.1.2 only reached the "accepted" stage even though it was sent to OBS 10 days ago? Yes, I know that 5.0.18 is old, but 5.0.22 was sent to OBS on June 20, and 5.0.26 was sent on July 18. How can we ever get an updated version when nothing ever comes out the back end?
