Fedora 43 VirtualBox not working with kernal 6.19.6

remove rpmfusion’s VB

download VB (with kernel 6.19.x compile fixes) from here:

Packages you need:

  • Linux 64-bit
  • Extension Pack

from Latest 7.2.x test builds

install VB-Testbuild with “sudo ~/Downloads/VirtualBox-*-Linux_amd64.run install”

adjust the path where you downloaded the package, usually ~/Downloads.

to remove VB-Testbuild use option “uninstall” , until VB and rpmfusion releases a newer VB version (7.2.7.x)

keep the package “*VirtualBox-*-Linux_amd64.run” until that date !

install the extension pack under VB

reboot to get the modules compiled (kernel-devel is installed ?)

Note:

some time ago when I uninstalled elder VB-Testbuilds I’ve seen that some/all desktop icons are gone too.

Fix: “sudo dnf reinstall shared-mime-info”
