Virtualbox not compatible with kernel 5.1.15-surface-linux #646
Comments
Just downloaded the 4.19.56-surface-linux-surface kernel version and still having the same problem.... |
I seem to have the same problem with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. My Virtualbox works on the default kernel, but otherwise, it doesn't work. I have been trying to follow instructions on this link, but it hasn't helped. I have also been trying compile my own kernel kind of like they did here, but I do not how to port that over to this kernel. Maybe you could use |
This problem does not exist on Gentoo, which is a distro where you compile everything by yourself, so I suspect the problem is the DKMS and virtual box modules are not compiled to that specific kernel change. What if you manually compile the virtual box modules? |
I feel like an idiot ... but how do you do that? Edit |
I finally got it: The key is Virtualbox 6.1 with the 5.0.7 Surface Kernel. You have to add the repository: |
Please also see #677. |
I've just installed the latest surface-kernel (5.1.15) and tried installing virtualbox.
Virtualbox DOES run on my machine but DOESN'T let me open any VM.
I've tried uninstall and reinstalling virtualbox and no luck.
Also I've tried this issue with same results.
Here's the output of installing virtualbox-dkms

Here's additional information of my kernel
> uname -a Linux matrix 5.1.15-surface-linux-surface #8 SMP Thu Jun 27 12:03:55 EDT 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Is this a kernel problem or virtualbox problem?
Should I install surface-linux-4.19 kernel version?
