How to uninstall VirtualBox?

Post by Nickname2 »

I installed VirtualBox 6.1.0 using the script provided under "All distribution" on the homepage. The Guests do not start because I don't have kernel drivers for version but only for 6.0.14.

How can I uninstall the 6.1.0 so I can fall back to 6.0.14? And where can I get extension set for this version. The current provided does not seem to support the 6.0.14.

I am on a Manjaro/Arch Linux

Thanks.

What does that mean, can you elaborate? It doesn't quite make sense...

sudo '<FullPathInstallerFolder>/VirtualBox-6.1.0-135406-Linux_amd64.run' uninstall

Again, I'm not sure I follow...
