virtualbox-guest kernel module fails to build on 3.7.0 kernel [error: 'VM_RESERVED' undeclared (first use in this function)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Fixed in 4.1.22-dfsg-0ubuntu1

So id this fixed? It is still not worked with the very latest virtualbox-4.1

You are using a package from virtualbox.org, not from Ubuntu.

It's fixed for me with the latest linux and virtualbox packages in raring

Not fixed with Precise virtualbox-dkms 4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.3 and linux-image-generic-lts-raring 3.8.0.27.27

Confirm Daniels report. 12.04 LTS is now severly broken and a number of my websites are currently down!

Not fixed for me in 12.04.3 x86-64.

Same for me: virtualbox-dkms does not build in 12.04.3 x86-64.

I update with the following command Kernell

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-raring xserver-xorg-lts-raring libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-raring

libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-raring libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-raring:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-raring:i386
After Updating Virtualbox did not work.
But I uninstalled Virtualbox error kept appearing posters, pack what you desistalar hand tube.
 the package "virtualbox-guest-dkms 4.1.18-dfsg-1ubuntu1" had to uninstall it manually.
The problem is when updating the kernel and X.org the Precise to Raring.

Workaround proposed by artyom.nosov (#13) confirmed to solve the issue.

Sorry I'm new to this bug stuff but virtualbox won't play Windows 8.1 there
is a version 6 out just recent for VMWare that will run Windows 8.1
Just thought I'd pass the information along and save someone the time from
my experience, YMMV.

Not working for me after "sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-raring" on Precise 12.04.3 LTS either:

The "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" demanded by virtualbox rc=1908 does not exist.

"sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-dkms;sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms" has been tried to no avail.

"sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`" confirms:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
linux-headers-3.8.0-30-generic is already the newest version.

Artyom Nosov's patch ends as follows:

/usr/src/virtualbox-4.1.12$ sudo dkms autoinstall

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...
Error! The dkms.conf for this module includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which
does not match this kernel/arch. This indicates that it should not be built.

Building module:
cleaning build area....
make KERNELRELEASE=3.8.0-30-generic -C /lib/modules/3.8.0-30-generic/build M=/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/4.1.12/build.............
cleaning build area....

DKMS: build completed.

Confirming that the workaround in #13 solves the issue,
although I also needed a `service virtualbox start` after the proposed commands.

Could someone create a task to have this backported to Precise?

I can now also confirm that the #13 fix does work for me too after invoking "service virtualbox" manually once, as recommended in #17, in spite of the BUILD_EXCLUSIVE error still shown on compile, and even after reboot into kernel 3.8.0-30.
Thanks to both of you for the fix and instructions!
Making this available by default to users in general would be a good idea indeed given the importance of VirtualBox as a factor for running Linux as a host OS in the first place.

SRU request:

please accept virtualbox_4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.4 in precise-proposed. It only contains patches to support kernels up to 3.11.

SRU request:

[Impact]

 * As a result of this bug, virtualbox-guest-dkms will fail to build the module against linux-generic-lts-raring

[Test Case]

 * Install linux-generic-lts-raring

 * Enable the precise-proposed repository and install virtualbox-guest-dkms (4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.4).

 * If the package installs without errors from DKMS, then the patches work correctly.

[Regression Potential]

 * The patches that I wrote will preserve the current driver behaviour on linux-generic (3.2) and linux-generic-lts-quantal (3.5), thanks to the use of specific macros in the code which check the kernel version. As a result, no regressions of any kind can be expected on these kernels.

Hello psamuel, or anyone else affected,

Accepted virtualbox into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Works well for me.

I don't know how to change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done :(.

No longer having this bug in virtualbox.

The patch for kernel 3.11 is incomplete.

The host module will build but won't work:
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12001

This is the 3.11 patch I've added to the latest virtualbox package:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-virtualbox/virtualbox.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/37-linux-3.11.patch;h=19a577f4742e806312de56c66b2456e6ecc904b0;hb=b1f8c19f291b2067c6a1f916bebfdc8c81493e59

Ok, thanks, I'll have a look at the patch and reupload

 4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.4 and kernel 3.10.13 work great. Thank you!

4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.5 builds and seems to function for me.

the latest version from official website works perfect for me

Version 4.1.2-dfsg-2ubuntu0.5 (from precise-proposed) works for me.
