[arch-general] virtualbox-modules-lts?

[attila123]

Hell, I just got enough of this and installed the virtualbox modules directly
from the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso, which is mounted by virtualbox when you say
that it should install the guest additions.
And now at least it works!
Based on
http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#idp5801200

# pacman -S dkms
# pacman -R virtualbox-guest-additions
-> otherwise the next command would complain
# sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

[root at myhost cdrom]# sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Not sure what's this with

/etc/rc.d/functions: line 573: syntax error near unexpected token `<'
/etc/rc.d/functions: line 573: `	done < <(findmnt -mrunRo
TARGET,FSTYPE,OPTIONS /)'

but everything seems to work now.
