I always use the virtualbox.org repo which only requires installing the ext pack and then I'm done till the next release which will auto install with the added repo. The only thing I have to do manually is run "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" when a newer kernel is installed.
Why don't you install dkms (from packman) and register the virtualbox modules with dkms? That way, when the kernel is updated the modules are automatically rebuilt and installed for the new kernel at boot time (or you can manually manage the build/install prior to rebooting with the new kernel). I've done the same with the nvidia proprietary drivers too. The instructions are out there (but I didn't save the link). Google will find them for you. Just one thing - with the nvidia drivers there is one directory that needs to be created. Again - can't remember exactly but it is contained in the error message/log file that will be generated the first time the build fails. Once that directory was created, no more problems. :) -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
