Updated Arch guest using pacman and graphics broke

Post by Toerktumlare »

I updated my arch by running pacman -Syyu and now a lot of thing has broken.

Alacritty terminal stopped running and all i get when running it is:

Code: Select all

[destroyed object]: error 7: importing the supplied dmabufs failed
Also if i run firefox, the application just freezes, and if i run chromium, the browsers starts but when i drag my mouse over the chromium window is really sluggish.

Windows 10 host
Arch guest

I have no idea where to start searching for the problem. It all worked a week ago.

UPDATE:

So i got suggested to reinstall the Guest kernel modules etc.

Mounted the cd, and ran the reinstallation of guest editions and it fails as it cant build the modules. I have installed the new kernal headers, but the compilation fails.

i cant copy paste from the vm but i get an error during compilation

VBoxGuest-linux.c:1364:9
Error: implicit declaration of function 'strlcpy'; did you mean 'strscpy'
