Hello everyone. I’m trying to install vbox-runner-git, which works with krunner, in xfce. Not sure how it will turn out, but I’ve already got krunner installed (not sure how to use it yet as it has no man or --help page) but while installing vbox-runner-git I’m getting this error:
Error: Failed to commit transaction:
conflicting files:
- vbox-runner-git: /lib already exists in filesystem (owned by filesystem)
I’ve tried
pamac install --overwrite vbox-runner-git
but the manual says I need to specify a glob. I’m afraid to try
pamac install --overwrite /lib vbox-runner-git
because there’s a lot of stuff in /lib.
What is the proper way to deal with that error?

I added a comment with the details to the AUR package page. The main problem was trying to use kfconfig to find a prefix which can’t be done in the build() function as it can’t access the system.
I think you can simply replace the PKGBUILD in pamac when you build your package from Pamac, click the Edit PKGBUILD button (or whatever it is called in your language) in the popup window, before validating the install (or if you go to the package details, you can also edit the PKGBUILD from here).
Yeah…I actually wasn’t sure if it would work or not.
[user@laptop vbox-runner-git]$ kquitapp5 krunner; kstart5 --windowclass krunner krunner
"Application krunner could not be found using service org.kde.krunner and path /MainApplication."
bash: kstart5: command not found
[user@laptop vbox-runner-git]$
That’s provided by kde-cli-tools. Apparently the developer assumes one already has it installed on a KDE installation. It’s an optional dependency of dolphin and krusader, for one.
If you really think krunner would be overkill and thiunk there is a better way to run VMs with a http and https proxy, I can ask in Xfce? Would that be a good spot? I learned to set a proxy here:
Or I guess Network ands Wifi would be a better spot.
