I’m working on a project in which I should use Vagrant for provisioning.
I installed Vagrant and VirtualBox as versions below, but they are not compatible so I have to downgrade VirtualBox. How can I do it?
Kernel Version: 6.10.13-3-MANJARO
Vagrant Version: Vagrant 2.4.1
Vagrant Error:
Vagrant has detected that you have a version of VirtualBox installed
that is not supported by this version of Vagrant. Please install one of
the supported versions listed below to use Vagrant:
4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, 6.1, 7.0
I used downgrade and manjaro-downgrade to do so, but they didn’t help.
At the time of writing, the following VirtualBox versions are current:
| Branch |
Version |
| stable |
7.1.2-0.1 |
| testing |
7.1.4-1 |
| unstable |
7.1.4-1 |
You should likely focus your efforts on updating Vagrant:
| Branch |
Version |
| stable |
2.4.1-2 |
| testing |
2.4.2-1 |
| unstable |
2.4.2-1 |
Vagrant 2.4.2-1 is currently in both unstable and testing.
You might for example:
- Switch branches; see: Switching branches and see if the versioning then suits your needs.
- Wait for Vagrant 2.4.2-1 to reach the stable branch.
I’d suggest monitoring the respective branch update announcements to be aware of any related issues/solutions.
Additionally, kernel 6.10 has reached EOL. Updating your kernel is generally recommended; or, use an LTS version. Kernel 6.12 (LTS) is released this month.
Good luck.

That dead easy answer is: You cannot.
The longer - much more difficult answer is: Perhaps you can - but due to the low level of interaction with the host system’s kernel, you are likely to create other much more difficult issues for yourself.
That said - you could try using one of the alternative (unsupported) builds hosted with AUR.
