Please have a look at

Unfortunately in German, but the code is in English  .

That's the patch which i have from the vbox-dev mailing list.
I'm using it since a long time.

Excuse me for not understanding what this is about, I have VB 5.2 and no problem, should there be a problem?

Towo you write you are using the patch, in our kernel or? If so, that's why I don't have a problem probably

[towo]

No, the patch is vor vbox modules, not for the kernel.
It's nessesary for vbox 5.2 from oracle. I think the debian version has that patch included.

This patch is also necessary for virtualbox 5.2 from debian.

Hello
I am new on siduction (an virtualbox is not running)

I would like to ask a question:
I have virtual-box sources installed.
But I have no
/usr/share/virtualbox/src on my machine

But I have
/usr/src/virtualbox-5.2.0

a patch gives me an error:

root@siduction:/usr/src/virtualbox-5.2.0# patch -Np0  < virtualbox-modules-5.1.28-udp.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff --git a/work/vboxnetflt/linux/VBoxNetFlt-linux.c b/work/vboxnetflt/linux/VBoxNetFlt-linux.c

File to patch:

Any idea what went wrong?


Thank you very much

I got the patch working, how do I recompile the kernel modules for 4.14 with dkms?

[Edit] I got the modules compiled with the 4.14 kernel with this:

Code Select Expand

#  dkms install virtualbox/5.2.0 -k 4.14.0-towo.1-siduction-amd64
that's   dkms install  module/version -k kernel
Some of my experiences with the patch:
My source files were in /usr/src/virtualbox-5.2.0/  In that directory there were the directories vboxnetflt and vboxpci. In each of those there was a linux directory. In the linux directories the files did have -linux in their names.  So the target files were in the following paths: /usr/src/virtualbox-5.2.0/vboxnetflt/linux/VBoxNetFlt-linux.c and /usr/src/virtualbox-5.2.0/vboxpci/linux/VBoxPci-linux.c. 
I took this patch here: https://gist.github.com/herbmillerjr/039c129e9c25b047b906e19ad1f23a59
and named it vbox.patch.  I put the patch file and made my current directory in /usr/src/virtualbox-5.2.0. 

I ran

Code Select Expand

#  patch -Np1 < vbox.patch
I used p1 because the path in the patch file had one folder level that I didn't have, "work/", everything else matched.

@vayu
Finally ! That worked for me 

Many thanks vayu !

@vayu

Thank you very much - that worked

root@siduction:/usr/src/virtualbox-5.2.0#  patch -Np1 < vbox.patch
patching file vboxnetflt/linux/VBoxNetFlt-linux.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 141 (offset 15 lines).
patching file vboxpci/linux/VBoxPci-linux.c


That was a big help


Now:
When running virtual box I get a

"
Für die virtuelle Maschine xp konnte keine neue Sitzung eröffnet werden.

Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-wlp10s0' (you might need to modprobe vboxnetflt to make it accessible) (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).

Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).

Fehlercode:NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Komponente:ConsoleWrap

Deactivating Network allows me to run the virtual machine (without Network)

Is there a second patch to fix that?

Thank you

Edit:
I patched again with the patch from "towo"  got a

"root@siduction:/usr/src/virtualbox-5.2.0#  patch -Np1 < virtualbox-modules-5.1.28-udp.patch

and now the virtualbox is starting with activated network

Thank you to everybody helping

About to reboot and test vbox.   Seems Ok, no error found in either using a bridged network or internal network in Vboxx.

[vilde]

New virtualbox on today's d-u, patch didn't work for me, is there a new patch?

[McBane]

There is a regression in the latest 5.2.2 package, see here.


So far, I couldn't find a working patch yet. The old one isn't compatible.
