Message-ID<vMrAl-3Mk-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
hello Debian-users,

I am using virtualbox-guest-x11 5.2.10-dfsg-6, but when starting X11,
"vboxvideo" cannot be found. The other utils ("copy and paste") do not
work either.

I notice that when installing "virtualbox-guest-utils
virtualbox-guest-x11 virtualbox-guest-dkms", no modules are built.

There have been many changes lately:
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/contrib/v/virtualbox/virtualbox_5.2.10-dfsg-6_changelog
--> so is it just broken temporarily (I've seen this before)?

Thanks and Best Regards,

Have you installed dkms, appropriate kernel headers, gcc, etc?

And have you RTFM?

Sure, it worked before some update. However, it is already fixed with
the 5.2.10-dfsg-7 update. (I suspected this, and was looking for another
opinion)

Thanks for your answer and Best Regards,
