Hi @EchoHost, and welcome!

Now, I’m no expert and chances are that I might be wrong about this. But,

  • Make sure Graphics card passthrough for the virtual machine is enabled/installed.
  • The reason for the error is in the error message:

After some searching it seems you would need too install virtualbox-guest-utils,

$ pamac install virtualbox-guest-utils

I’m guessing that will install it for your installed kernels, 5.10 and 5.12 in this case.

Hope this helps!

Hey, some more info might be needed to help you further, some context would be helpful:

It looks like you are running a VM with manjaro, what virtualization do you use?

There are vmware and virtualbox packages installed.
Using vmware and virtualbox utils/drivers at the same time might be a problem?

What command have you used to install the drivers ?
