Intro
Manjaro Linux is one of Linux distros based on Arch Linux.
This is my favorite one because of its flexible user interface and powe...

Hello heddi,
I've the same issue as you describe. But your solution does not help :/
I can install virtualbox without any problem. But when i want to start a
new vm the error windows pops up.
I tried the command 'sudo vboxreload' in the terminal with
the follow output(thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i...)
Hope for your help.
Hi aze96,
Thank you for your commenting, and question + screenshot :)
I think it's the keyword, but know little about your environment.
Which OS do you use?
Also, how have you installed your VirtualBox? -- as far as you remember it.
Hi Heddi,
Thank you for your fast reply.
OS: Manjaro 18.1.1
Kernel: 5.2.21
I installed it over the AUR Repository (thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i...)
aze96,
you're welcome. I'm interested.
Thanks.
Your kernel is 5.2.21 and VBox is 6.0.12.
The error in your first screenshot is
/lib/modules/5.2.21-*.How about the versions of virtualbox-host-modules or virtualbox-host-dkms in Manjaro Package Manager?
Hi,
virtualbox-host-modules is 6.0.12-2.
I have not installed virtualbox-host-dkms. Should i install it?
Hi, aze96,
I have updated my comment I wrote yesterday:
Well, I have checked it by installing Manjaro onto clean env.
Q1. Have you chosen linux_52_-virtualbox-host-modules? 5(.)2 is your kernel version.
Q2. What does
sudo modprobe vboxdrvreturn in command line?Yeyyy!!!!
It finally works. You where right. I had to install this host module. Now i can run Virtualbox and VM's without problem.
Thank you for helping :)
Have a nice day.
sorry that i answered that late i was afk yesterday btw.
Yey, wonderful :)
I was not wholly sure, and now feel happy to hear it.
You're welcome. Also, no problem on your answering.
Have a nice day, too.
Hello I just follow your guide step by step, but it doesn't fix the problem for me :'(
what did i did wrong ?
here is all I downloaded and installed ( dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/... )
Hello, Saclier.
Your screenshot looks correct to me... 🤔
According to Manjaro page,
mhwd-kernel -litells which kernel actually runs.Also, according to Manjaro forum,
there has been an issue in VirtualBox just with Kernel 4.19, which I don't know is related to your case.
Would these information be your help 🙂 ?
Hi.
I m running the kernel : 419
In the actual situation Virtualbox return the error when i try to launch Windows.
I look the forum you linked but I can't understand why it doesn't work for me.
Did I just cant use VB with my kernel version ?
Thank you for your quick answer.
Hi. Thank you for your check.
I'm not sure now. I'll check in a few days with the same kernel version to yours.
Saclier,
I tried to run vm with VirtualBox in Manjaro whose kernel is 4.19.
It was successful ☺️
Have you installed "linux 419 -virtualbox-host-modules" ?
Linux Kernel
Manjaro Package Manager
VirtualBox
I'm sorry to be late for this reply.
Time was necessary in order to find a Manjaro machine as I had recently used Debian ones.
Thank you :D
Thank you for your comment.
Did you meet the same problem?
I'm happy if it helped you :)
Yes, had the same problem. Needed the last step.
Once I did 'vboxreload' it worked.
Thank you for sharing this :)
That's a good news.
You are welcome!
Thank you, too.
I wonder why I needed to take the former steps then.
It might be some package problem.
Just shy of 2 plus years later and this article is as relevant as ever! Thank you it has allowed me to keep more of my hair!
Thank you, too, for your commenting 😊
I didn't imagine this post would help you more than 2 years later, of course, then.
I feel happy to know it helped you and your hair 😁
Btw, you can make the article more current by specifying that on Manjaro 20+ vboxconfig should be replaced with vboxreload.
Thank you for detail. Yes, my Manjaro version at that time seemed 19 or around.
I think it's better to correct this post than make a new one, but I have used Arch-based Artix recently and don't know how now. I'll try at some point or another.
Well, anyway, the correct information has been brought already here by you. Thank you 🤭
Thank you. Resolved the issue for me.
It's a happy news.

I feel happy to hear it :)
