# dkms status
virtualbox, 6.0.12-1.mga7, 5.2.16-desktop-2.mga7, x86_64: installed-binary from 5.2.16-desktop-2.mga7

extension pack upgraded cleanly

vbox and clients (winxp, win7 and mga7-32) launched normally

Updated additions in all 3 clients. As usual the download of the additions iso  failed part way. I had to download and insert the iso manually.

looks OK for mga7-64 on this system:

Desktop System: Dell product: Precision Tower 3620

The packages installed fine but on reboot nvidia proprietary driver was replaced by nouveau.  virtualbox launched a Mageia client OK.  Ran drakx11 to install proprietary driver but it was rejected at boot time.  back to nouveau.

CC: (none) => tarazed25

Kernel development files missing.  Installed them and rebooted.  Various modules rebuilt but no nvidia.

Reinstalled dkms-nvidia-current and rebooted.
dracut came up with a lot of errors but looked like it succeeded in building a new initrd.  Rebooting.

Still no nvidia proprietary driver.  Back to drakx11 and a reboot.

OK now.  The moral is make sure you are on a level playing field before starting.  The resident kernel was 5.2.13 but the virtualbox update dragged in the later kernel, without devel support.  The update looks good from here.

On real hardware, M7.1, Plasma, 64-bit
