Description Marc Krämer 2022-04-13 13:24:43 CEST

i've installed
kernel-desktop-5.15.32-1.mga8-1-1.mga8.x86_64
kernel-desktop-latest-5.15.32-1.mga8.x86_64
virtualbox-kernel-5.15.32-desktop-1.mga8-6.1.32-1.14.mga8.x86_64
virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest-6.1.32-1.14.mga8.x86_64


but vboxhost.service and modprobe fails. Only if I manually start a depmod the module is found.

I assume depmod is not triggered after install. Please not dkms is NOT installed.

Comment 1 Thomas Backlund 2022-04-13 14:25:16 CEST

is dkms-minimal installed ?

Comment 2 Marc Krämer 2022-04-13 14:42:29 CEST

yes.

Comment 3 Lewis Smith 2022-04-14 09:36:39 CEST

Assigning this to 'kernel' (Thomas being already involved).

Comment 4 Marc Krämer 2022-05-06 13:22:52 CEST

added depmod in post/postun.

since we will have new/pacthed kernels soon, I don't see the need to push this as an update. It will be generated with the next kernel.

Please dont mess up my packages with changes that dont belong there.

dkms runs depmod on it's own, so you need to figure out why your system is broken.

# LC_ALL=C rpm -qa |grep virtualbox
# LC_ALL=C rpm -qa |grep dkms
# LC_ALL=C urpmi virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest
