DKMS module and recipe for target '.../virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv' failed
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? ========== $ cat /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/make.log DKMS make.log for virtualbox-5.2.34 for kernel 5.4.0-37-generic (x86_64) Thu Jun 18 01:35:43 EDT 2020 make: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.4.0-37-generic' CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv/SUPDrv.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv/SUPDrvGip.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv/SUPDrvTracer.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv/SUPLibAll.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv/SUPDrvSem.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/alloc-r0drv.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/initterm-r0drv.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/memobj-r0drv.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/mpnotification-r0drv.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/powernotification-r0drv.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/assert-r0drv-linux.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/alloc-r0drv-linux.o In file included from ././include/linux/compiler_types.h:59:0, from <command-line>:0: /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv/SUPDrvGip.c: In function ‘supdrvTscDeltaThread’: ./include/linux/compiler_attributes.h:200:41: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘__attribute__’ # define fallthrough __attribute__((__fallthrough__)) ^ /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/include/iprt/cdefs.h:1116:48: note: in expansion of macro ‘fallthrough’ # define RT_FALL_THROUGH() __attribute__((fallthrough)) ^~~~~~~~~~~ /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/include/iprt/cdefs.h:1123:33: note: in expansion of macro ‘RT_FALL_THROUGH’ #define RT_FALL_THRU() RT_FALL_THROUGH() ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.34/build/vboxdrv/SUPDrvGip.c:4198:17: note: in expansion of macro ‘RT_FALL_THRU’ RT_FALL_THRU();

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. good luck! greg k-h

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.

Thanks Valdis . A quick question... Why is a 5.4 kernel using 5.2 dkms source code? It seems to me if Ubuntu used the proper source code, then the problem would not exist. Jeff
