Regular update.

It have been sitting in updates_testing already a month.
Time to open bug.

Advisory, changelog required.

I find it OK in my usual test:

---

mga9 x86_64 OK here, host hardware see below.


Running MSW 7 64 bit guest: it detected it needed new guest addition - i let it download, update, reboot.  All OK: dynamic window resizing, USB 2 flash disk, host folder sharing write protected and not, bidirectional clipboard, drag file from Dolphin to Explorer, Internet video in Firefox, Windows update.

Until Giuseppe's confirmation that this is ready for QA
We should hold the test, usually should be in company of static and dynamic modules

Ah, I forgot to tell he told me I could open the bug.

Yes you are correct, they should be built.

Anyway we also should test, and I usually do, and did in comment 0, that it work with dkms built kmods.  And for kernel-linus we ship no binary kmods so there dkms is the only option.

For kernel 6.12 currently in testing, VirtualBox need a workaround

Comment 5 Thomas Andrews 2025-07-15 13:51:09 CEST
I usually use our kmods, as I believe that is what the casual user who simply installs virtualbox would be using.

MGA9-64 Plasma, two systems, no installation issues. Ran Win7 and Win10 guests, updated guest additions. With the Win7 guest on one system, the iso downloaded by the vbox gui failed to install, but one downloaded manually from https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/ had no issues. A bad download, perhaps, because another Win7 guest on another system had no problems downloading and installing using the vbox gui.

Ran each system for a while, mostly catching up on various updates. (Windows takes so LONG to update sometimes.) No other issues to report.

It was time to go to bed by then, so I didn't try any Mageia guests yet. Perhaps tonight.
Comment 6 Thomas Andrews 2025-07-16 14:51:20 CEST
Ran a Mageia 9 guest, got updates including new guest additions, rebooted, no issues apparent.

Still need to try creating a new guest, but no time again now.
Comment 7 Thomas Andrews 2025-07-17 03:25:50 CEST
Created a new Mageia 9 guest with no issues. I think this is ready to go.

Validating.
