Patch Linux Kernel 3.17 incompatibility with VirtualBox


Recommended Posts

For those running the latest 3.17 kernel might have noticed already that virtualbox stops working.
however, there is a patch out, i have tried and it works just fine:

download the patch, for example to your home directory:
download

open up a Konsole and navigate to your virtualbox directory, for me this was 4.3.10, might be different on your system



cd /usr/src/virtualbox-4.3.14

apply the patch:

(sudo) patch -p0 < ~/virtualbox-alloc_netdev.diff

and then reconfigure vbox-dkms

(sudo) dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms

all should be fine now.
