Code: Select all

VBoxClient-all &

Sim, what AUR package did you use? Did you use dkms at all?

I installed it with dkms.
then with modprobe to make sure
*depmod is still spitting out the same error though.

Unfortunately there is a twist to this bug. Your rebuild was almost flawless, until i rebooted and it turns out that with the new build something that work before dont work well now. the video module doesn't well, i cant change the screen res with xrandr and xcompmanger doesnt work. Did you use the latest version of the module package?

for now i have to switch between sb files to do what i need.

It's PKGBUILD from Arch community. This: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm ... x-modules/

and modified
https://github.com/simargl/alphaos/tree ... /PKGBUILDS

@ducklin5: Changing screen resolution in virtualbox here works fine using lxrandr. Would obviously need to add some command in /root/.start to preserve that resolution on log out. I didn't test that further.

Ahhaa, This I didn't know.

So you svn the package right?
and then edit PKGBUILD

I wanted to compare the PKGBUILD's but couln't get it from
svn server

Code: Select all

svn checkout --depth=empty svn://svn.archlinux.org/community
svn: E000101: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://svn.archlinux.org/community'
svn: E000101: Can't connect to host 'svn.archlinux.org': Network is unreachable


something you've come across?

alsa my LD_LIBRARY_PATH was wrong :(

I downloaded from Arch site, every package has link to source files
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm ... t-modules/
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit ... ox-modules

it suddenly started working after a few reinstalls and a few reboots. i can now change to my screen res in lxrandr.
xrandr doesn't have some screen res. But when I add this to .start the second line doesnt work:

Code: Select all

xrandr --newmode "preferred_1368x768"   86.00  1368 1440 1576 1784  768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VBOX0 preferred_1368x768
xrandr --output VBOX0 --mode preferred_1368x768

this is what i get from the second line:

Code: Select all

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  18 (RRAddOutputMode)
  Serial number of failed request:  20
  Current serial number in output stream:  21


xcompmgr doesnt work with cairo-dock (completely black bar, i cant see anything) but it works with docky.
is there a reason?

Without virtualbox xcompmgr works with cairo-dock for me?

About screenresolution, after installing guest-additions, resolution
should be fixed automatically.

Do you have more than one version of guest-additions loaded at the same time?

Maybe you should try a fresh install after all your fiddling there seems to be problems that
linger?

Supply the output of xrandr command in virtualbox environment
What graphics card do you have? What graphics driver are you using?
