This is weird. Using "urpmi --force" the command ran, but nothing was installed.
The --force should not be needed, but shouldn't hurt.
I cleared out all the Mageia RPMs, including dkms-virtualbox, and ran "rpm - Uvh --force --nodeps" That installed the 4.0.8 version, which compiled new modules. Then Virtualbox wouldn't start until I created a symlink to libcrypto.so.0.9.8. I reinstalled the extension pack, but am still seeing "No USB devices attached" in the status bar for the guest OS.
Did you install the 4.0.8 version of the guest additions in the guest os? Did you try creating /etc/ld.so.conf.d/virtualbox.conf with contents of /usr/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack/linux.x86 or /usr/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack/linux.amd64 if you are using a 64 bit install? Did you run ldconfig after the above, and then restart VirtualBox? Regards, Dave Hodgins
