I am unable to install VirtualBox on Manjaro. When I attempt to add VirtualBox to the kernel with:

sudo vboxreload

I get the following error messages:

Unloading modules: 
Loading modules: modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxnetadp not found in directory /lib/modules/6.12.4-1-MANJARO
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxnetflt not found in directory /lib/modules/6.12.4-1-MANJARO
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/6.12.4-1-MANJARO

Can anyone help?

mod edit - please learn to enclose your code when pasting:

```

Or select code and click the </> icon under the :gear: icon menu

Did you install the VirtualBox host modules for your kernel?

You’re running Linux 6.12.4, so that would be linux612-virtualbox-host-modules

With what?

Did you reboot?

Is your system up to date?

Does it not work after a reboot?

What doesn’t work?
How do you know?

Also, read this - but mostly come back with more information; like details 'n stuff.

Also make sure that you’re properly synced and updated; perhaps REMOVE your virtualbox installation first, then run:

❯ sudo pacman-mirrors --continent && sudo pacman -Syu

After this, install virtualbox and see how that goes.
