Ah damn. I was hoping I could simply install this package, and then start my VM from this web interface. Because the GUI App VirtualBox doesn't open. As soon as I click on it, then it crashes immediately. So I'm not able to start any of my VMs for the past 2-3 days. And this isn't the first time that the VirtualBox App frontend has stopped working. A few months back, the same happened and I couldn't start any of my VMs for 2 weeks. Only 2 weeks later when I did a system update, it started working again. So I think I kind of need a second interface or way to start the VMs without the GUI App.Delphi Programming– Delphi Programming2025-08-21 12:23:32 +00:00Commented Aug 21 at 12:23

well, I'm not sure why you're going for more obscure things. If virtualbox crashes, another piece of software built atop of it won't fare better.Marcus Müller– Marcus Müller2025-08-21 12:25:27 +00:00Commented Aug 21 at 12:25

Seriously though, yesterday you were so close with virt-manager, with the only mistake seemingly being trying to use it via flatpak. I know the virt-manager package is just available natively on arch, why didn't you just install that? On debian, fedora, alma and Ubuntu, I have done just that and it was all it took to get working user VMs. I bet Arch has documentation, and it shouldn't be any harder (unless Arch is being special here, which I can't preclude, but it seems still the way of lower resistance).Marcus Müller– Marcus Müller2025-08-21 12:27:39 +00:00Commented Aug 21 at 12:27

(you'll want to uninstall virtualbox first, and probably reboot. If that crashes, I don't want to know what the kernel module did)Marcus Müller– Marcus Müller2025-08-21 12:32:29 +00:00Commented Aug 21 at 12:32

If I uninstall VirtualBox, won't I lose my VMs? I have tried to reinstall VirtualBox a couple of times now, but that didn't work.Delphi Programming– Delphi Programming2025-08-21 12:35:49 +00:00Commented Aug 21 at 12:35

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
