On Dec 3 there was a 53 item update (including Firefox 83) that somehow completely borked my system. This happen to anybody else? Just a really strange coincidence?
Anyway, nothing I did could bring it back - not repairs nor backups -
Had to reformat everything and start from scratch. Still no idea what went wrong
Now, I can’t get Virtualbox to install properly.
A variety of errors, the 2 most common are that
-incorrect password
-run /sbin/vboxconfig to fix
But the password is correct and there is no such file as vboxconfig.
On another partition, VBox installs fine in any number of other distros, but not in new installs of Manjaro Cinnamon or Manjaro XFCE
Well, now.
I’ve done absolutely everything anybody has suggested, and it was only by installing the linux-headers that anything changed. Found that buried in the 14.04 link from manyroads - thanks, @manyroads
I had thought those were installed by default - I guess not.
I never had such issues with VB in any distro before - never had to install the headers myself.
Does anybody know why? And I’d like to know which of the many possible “pebkac” errors I’ve been doing.
