hamnisdude We dont ship /sbin/vboxconfig as we provide our own dkms package and also provide prebuilt kmods... I guess I should patch out that code suggesting vboxconfig stuff... If you use dkms-virtualbox, you must also have the kernel-*-devel package matching the running kernel installed, or alternatively install the prebuilt virtualbox-kernel-* matching the running kernel Resolution:

Description of problem: I installed Virtualbox in Cauldron and as I got no menu entry in MATE Program menu I had to open Virtualbox from a terminal window. Running VirtualBox showed this error: WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (5.1.15-desktop-1.mga8) or it failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by sudo /sbin/vboxconfig You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed. So I opened a new tab and ran sudo /sbin/vboxconfig and typed my password and pressed Enter which then gave me: sudo: /sbin/vboxconfig: command not found I checked with ll if there is a vboxconfig in /sbin/ and this is the result: [root@localhost ~]# ll /sbin/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 45592 maj 6 18:30 v4l2-dbg* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 47248 feb 12 18:44 veritysetup* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 dec 29 2018 vgcfgbackup -> lvm* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 dec 29 2018 vgcfgrestore -> lvm* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 dec 29 2018 vgchange -> lvm* It should be between v4l2-dbg* and veritysetup*, but it isn't. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.0.8 How reproducible: All the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure you're using Cauldron in a physical machine. 2. Login to MATE. 3. Install Virtualbox. 4. Install the extpack. 5. Now open VirtualBox in a terminal window. 6. Voila! The kernel module is not installed and the suggested command sudo /sbin/vboxconfig does not work because there is no vboxconfig in /sbin/
