Error when doing kernel update

I am getting these errors.

  1. Don’t know what I did to cause this.
  2. Don’t know how to fix it.
Error! nvidia/560.35.03: Missing the module source directory or the symbolic link pointing to it.
Manual intervention is required!

Error! vboxhost/7.0.18_OSE: Missing the module source directory or the symbolic link pointing to it.
Manual intervention is required!

Would Appreciate some guidance, thanks in advance.

Here is some system info to help:

Is this with testing or unstable branch?

When I install kernel 6.12 on stable branch, I get:

linux612-6.12.0rc2-2

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] n

You have 6.12.0-rc5-1

Do you have the headers installed - or the correct Nvidia and vbox modules matching your kernel version?

I am on unstable.

Yes headers are installed.

[demo@Manjaro ~]$ sudo pacman -S linux612 linux612-headers

I will check if the correct modules are installed.

testing 6.12.0rc4-1
unstable 6.12.0rc5-1

@MAYBL8

I recall a recent mention that VirtualBox in Testing solves a few issues; perhaps it’s time to switch.

I think I am current on my installed packages.

[demo@Manjaro ~]$ pacman -Q virtualbox
virtualbox 7.1.4-1
[demo@Manjaro ~]$
[demo@Manjaro ~]$ pacman -Q nvidia
linux611-nvidia 560.35.03-19

I think I need to get rid of the old modules?
Can I get some help with doing that?
Seems like I have had this issue before.
I’ve got to document where these things are.
Thanks
Will this help:
