+++ -7,13 +7,14 pkgdesc='Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack' I really had to explicitly run a sudo VirtualBox command with the package file path as it's parameter.įor those interested, here is a patch that should apply cleanly via git am to almost any version of this package (it should rebase easily on the master branch even when it gets bumped) that will version lock the built package to VB: From 5fa2ca3d0511ef0d15075705b6d396f3dfe5df09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001ġ file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) VirtualBox asks you for permissions but fails with a wrong message that your password is wrong. Note that simply double clicking the file does not work. Luckily simply modifying the version number in the above direct download link from the virtualbox download site simply still gives you the older download that you need.

Hmm good reasons to start always preserving 'built' packages here as well (actually there's not so much to build on this propriatary binary thing). You can re-run the kexstat command just to be sure the extensions were loaded.Oh yeah that's confusing, but also logical!: So I installed this on my Manjaro system (since I decided to migrate VirtualBox and all my VMs that have on it away from Windows - to make room for other hypervisors there as well), but as many know, Manjaro keeps a bit older versions of packages compared to vanilla Arch (which I am a lot more used to). Restart your Mac and VirtualBox should now work. You should see a message that some applications require a restart to work correctly.

If you don't see the extensions loaded, the easier fix is to delete your current VirtualBox app, download and install the lastest version and then go the Security & Privacy System Preferences Pane. No variant specified, falling back to release If the kernel extensions are installed, you will see something like this: Executing: /usr/bin/kmutil showloaded You can verify this by running: kextstat | grep -v com.apple Big Sur disables the VirtualBox kernel extensions as part of the installation process.
