Description Martin Mokrejš 2023-02-05 10:47:35 UTC

Hi,
  it seems the bug #660942 is back again with 7.0.6 unlike 6.0.4 (or is it that I emerged 7.0.4 under older kernel sources? maybe).

Comment 1 Martin Mokrejš 2023-02-05 10:48:22 UTC

Sorry, typo should have been "7.0.6 unlike 7.0.4".

Comment 4 Viorel Munteanu gentoo-dev

The Makefile does this:

if test -d $/lib/modules/6.1.6/build; then echo yes; fi

and expects it to echo yes.  From what I see it should work.

Can you run it and see what it outputs?  Or this:

test -d /lib/modules/6.1.6/build; echo $?

Comment 5 Martin Mokrejš 2023-02-05 14:12:14 UTC

Thank you for your assistance:

(In reply to Viorel Munteanu from comment #4)
> The Makefile does this:
> 
> if test -d $/lib/modules/6.1.6/build; then echo yes; fi

$ cat Makefile 
all:
	if test -d $/lib/modules/6.1.6/build; then echo yes; fi
$ make all
if test -d lib/modules/6.1.6/build; then echo yes; fi
$ 
$ make -v
GNU Make 4.4

Returns 1.

Comment 6 Martin Mokrejš 2023-02-05 14:13:35 UTC

Hmm, the Makefile attempt I made is wrong as I wasn't in '/' directory, just forget it.

Comment 8 Viorel Munteanu gentoo-dev

So it's a permissions problem.

drwx------  4 root root 4096 Feb  5 00:11 6.1.6

This should fix it:
chmod go+rx /lib/modules/6.1.6

Comment 9 Martin Mokrejš 2023-02-05 15:51:38 UTC

Almost there. The ebuild continues despite an error:

modinfo: ERROR: Module /mnt/nocrypt/var/tmp/portage/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions-7.0.6/work/VirtualBox-7.0.6/out/linux.amd64/release/bin/additions/src/vboxsf/vboxsf.ko not found.


Or is that a false alarm?

localhost ~ # equery files app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions |  grep vboxsf
/etc/modprobe.d/vboxsf.conf
/lib/modules/6.1.6/misc/vboxsf.ko.xz
/sbin/mount.vboxsf
localhost ~ # 

Due to the .xz extension?

Are you running this on the host?  This package is supposed to be installed only in guest VM.

Aha, indeed, on the host. Sorry, cannot remember all the many bits.

Comment 12 Martin Mokrejš 2023-02-11 09:41:48 UTC

Still I think the ebuild should be more frienly and report a permissions error if `make` does not do that.

Comment 13 Viorel Munteanu gentoo-dev

2023-02-12 16:56:32 UTC

Ok, I'll try to add some sanity checks.
