If you want to use the latest version for your host/guests, you should also consider doing the same for VirtualBox. As of this writing, that would be version 5.2.4. These days however, you should try the latest test builds.Lizzie wrote:Kernel has been updated

Re: VBox on Fedora 27
If you will read my posts closely, you will see that I am using the latest release of Vbox. For those of you who missed it, that is Version 5.2.4 r119785 (Qt5.9.2). If anyone has something pertinent to add that might be of some help, I would appreciate it.

Re: VBox on Fedora 27
I did read your posts closely, that's exactly why I quoted a very specific part of your last message. You however didn't read my message closely, so let me try and make it a little bit clearer:Lizzie wrote:If you will read my posts closely

Re: VBox on Fedora 27
I would like to apologize to socratis for being so snippy. I did not understand what you were suggesting that I do. After thinking about it for awhile, it dawned on me what you were suggesting. i followed your suggestion and VBox is now up and running on my laptop. Thank-you for your assistance.

ps - how do you change the title to show solved? Because with both computers once again running VBox I am good to go. - L

Great! Now, did you install the test builds, or did you try the newly released 5.2.6? It shouldn't matter, because there were a few build differences between the two. It's more of a "Hey, there's a release available".Lizzie wrote:i followed your suggestion and VBox is now up and running on my laptop.
You edit your first post. I'll do it if you don't mind, just because these days instead of the typical "[Solved]" I include a "{Solved 5.2.6]", just to make sure that people know that this is in response to the Spectre/Meltdown updates in the Linux kernels.Lizzie wrote:how do you change the title to show solved?

Re: VBox on Fedora 27
I can confirm what piters said.
After installing elfutils-libelf-devel the /sbin/vboxconfig worked as it supposed to do.
Thank you, piters for pointing this out.
