I just installed Tumbleweed on this machine and can confirm that VirtualBox works here.
Same problem on current openSUSE-15.6 beta (with stock kernel)! I just installed the latest beta of openSUSE-15.6. Here kernel 6.4 is shipped. I also had to manually add the openSUSE signing key with mokutil. After that I started VirtualBox and created a new machine (with default settings). Again the machines startup freezes at 20% and it is not possible to terminate the VM / close the VirtualBox window. This should definitely be fixed until openSUSE-15.6 GA. |
Created attachment 870854 [details] dmesg output after trying to start a VirtualBox VM Machine: DELL Precision 5680 In order to get sound on this machine running, I was forced to install a contemporary kernel (6.6.0-lp155.8) from the Kernel:stable:Backport:standard repository (sound works fine after installing this kernel, latest Alsa libs AND sof-firmware). Unfortunately, VirtualBox runs not fine at all. I installed the KMP (in the same version) from Kernel:stable:Backport:KMP:standard and VirtualBox starts without complaining about missing modules (and I see vboxnetadp, vboxnetflt and vboxdrv in the output of lsmod). But when I try to run a virtual machine, the sidebar shows only a progress bar "VM hochfahren ..." , stuck at 20%. Additionally I get much output in the kernel log (see attached file). I have the same problem with different virtual machines (Windows 11, openSUSE). When booting the host system with the openSUSE Leap 15.5 stock kernel (currently 5.14.21), VirtualBox VMs run fine.
