[arch-general] kernel26-headers breaks VMWare and VirtualBox
Hi, I'm experiencing the issue as discussed here on the forums: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=105637 This mentions a bug report at: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20972 The fix mentioned is to run kernel26-headers -2. I am currently running "core/kernel26-headers 2.6.35.6-1 [installed]" I asked how to get -2 on IRC and was told to wait until my mirror updates. I tried a closer mirror and even manually looked at some of the mirrors and none of them appear to have 2.6.35.6-2. How can I upgrade to -2 without waiting for a mirror update? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what they mean by '-2'? Thanks.

Thanks. I just found it in testing. Install fixed my problem. Very frustrating though.

Kernel updates always go through [testing] first.

Last 2 or 3 new kernels brought us pain. Maybe developers had diarea. Or something like that. --

Surely you mean the _kernel_ developers, right?

Whichever he meant, such comments are a bit out of line. The devs (Arch or kernel) don't exist to make your life easier.

I do realize the best part you can do is join the test process, and stop crying for that.

Crying? Where? I just say that few last kernel updates were not the best. That's all. Calm down. --
