[opensuse-factory] Virtualbox shared directories no longer work on TW guest since the last (20190403) update
Hello all Ever since I updated my TW guest installation to TW version 20190403 last week I am no longer able to access my guest directories on a Leap 15.0 (and a now a Leap 15.1) host Reason : IMO is because the vboxsf.ko module did not compile. This might be due to the fact the directory where the Virtualbox ko modules are stored has moved lately on the new 5.0.5-1 kernel from : /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra # where shared directories pointing to a Leap host system work OK to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc # where shared directories pointing to a Leap host system do not work OK The following is from TW version 20190403 (i.e. virtualbox shared directories are KO) TW:/lib/modules/5.0.5-1-default/misc # ls -l total 13072 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13383560 Apr 4 22:50 vboxguest.ko TW:/lib/modules/5.0.5-1-default/misc # zypper info virtualbox Loading repository data...

The following is from TW version 20190403 (i.e. virtualbox shared directories are KO) TW:/lib/modules/5.0.5-1-default/misc # ls -l
As was mentioned earlier in this list, there were no VirtualBox modules for kernel 5.0.5. That condition was due to errors in the VB build. Those problems have now been fixed, and the new source has been submitted to Tumbleweed and Leap 15.1, Once the new version propagates through the system, the requisite kernel modules will be available. Note that the problem is not due to the changing of any directories - it qwas due to failed attempts to make the VB source be compatible with QT 5.13.

Many thanks for the comeback and mega thanks for new virtualbox packages in the lastest TW release : 20190408. My shared directories are now working again :) TW:~ # cat /etc/os-release NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" # VERSION="20190408" ID="opensuse-tumbleweed TW:/lib/modules/5.0.6-1-default # zypper info virtualbox Loading repository data...
