virtualbox-guest-additions-6.0.4-2.fc30 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 30. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-97610b52ff virtualbox-guest-additions-6.0.4-2.fc29 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 29. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-90d0665c95 virtualbox-guest-additions-6.0.4-2.fc28 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 28. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-d90f21bd4b Hi, Thank you for the bug report. So there are 2 issues involved here: 1) When running virtualbox-guest-additions-6.0.x on a 6.0.x host, vboxservice.service will fail to start with a VERR_VERSION_MISMATCH error This is caused by the mainline kernel version of vboxguest missing a new vboxguest feature which is used by the 6.0.x extensions on a 6.0.x host. I've prepared a kernel-patch for this and submitted it upstream. I will also add this patch to the Fedora kernels, so that it will get picked up with the next official Fedora kernel build. 2) virtualbox-guest-additions now has 2 seperate code-paths for auto-mounting shared folders, one for when running on a 5.x.x host and for when running on a 6.0.x host. This means that 0001-VBoxServiceAutoMount-Change-Linux-mount-code-to-use-.patch needed updating to also cover the new 6.0.x host paths. I've prepared a set of virtualbox-guest-additions updates fixing this, these should show up in updates-testing with the next push. Regards, Hans Note the kernel changes also require some changes to the vboxsf driver (currently in rpmfusion) for it to build against kernels with these changes. These changes are available here: https://github.com/jwrdegoede/vboxsf/ I've implemented them in such a way that that code will build against both the old and new mainline-kernel vboxguest APIs. I'm still working on getting vboxsf merged upstream. virtualbox-guest-additions-6.0.4-2.fc29 has been pushed to the Fedora 29 testing repository.

Should I be concerned with [drm] VirtualBox host is too old, no cursor support ?

That should not happen, but if you are not seeing any negative side-effects I would not worry about it. I cannot reproduce this myself using a 6.0.x host with the very latest kernelcode, I guess this might be a bug in the version of the vboxvideo code used in your kernel which is fixed in the latest version of the vboxvideo code. |
Created attachment 1545056 [details] journalctl -u vboxservice.service Description of problem: After upgrade my VirtualBox host to 6.0.4, VBoxService on guest stops to work , time synchronization stops, shared folder also stops , only vboxvideo still working . Building virtualbox-guest-additions in old way with kmods from VirtualBox source and adding binary mount.vboxsf. Also I had to hack fedora kernel and delete staging vbox*.ko , install new kmods run depmod and finally I could verify guest-additions works as expect . Of course I don't know how is fixed , hopefully I didn't update virtualbox-server in stable branches .
