Hi Everyone,
I recently upgraded Ubuntu 18.04 x86_64 to the 5.4.0-37 kernel. VirtualBox died, and I am trying to reinstall virtualbox-dkms. The reinstall fails because the build fails. The log is below.
Is there anything I can do to solve the problem?
Ask the out-of-tree virtualbox developers to fix their code to work with the newer kernel source. Nothing we can do about that, sorry.
Won't do any good, because...
cat /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/make.log
5.2.34 is a few releases back. 6.1.10 is out, and supports the 5.7 kernel (and most of the fixes to support 5.8-rc1 have already landed for 6.1.12). They fixed that problem probably close to a year ago.
