Manjaro Gnome guest on Mac OS host fails after Manjaro update

[wntr]

Just posted about this, see if this helps.

After update restarted VM. Startup was slow, screen was spammed with “Failed to start VirtualBox Guest VMSVGA resize client”

Ran into this issue today. When using VMSVGA system chokes on vboxdrmclient.service failing and restarting infinitely to the point where the load causes login to time out. The Live ISO has the same problem too, rendering it unusable. Problem caused by extra/{kernel-version}-virtualbox-guest-modules and community/virtualbox-guest-utils. Solved as: chroot into installed system remove packages mentioned above, build the guest modules from Oracle’s guest ISO.
