    From Grimble@2:250/1 to All on Mon Dec 16 17:44:28 2019
    Just applied the latest updates including new kernel. Trying to install
    new kernel modules against VBox 6.0.14 gave error message containing
    many references to RT_FALL_THRU. A bit of Googling indicates error
    resolved if VBox-6.1.0 is installed. Did that - all working.
    Interestingly, I have not been prompted to install the new version,
    which normally happens when a new version is released.
    Best wishes to all.

    The Cauldron update I applied today included Vbox 6.1.0, which needed its Extensions Pack updated to the 6.1 version.

    Apart from the showstopping problem with TBird (and FF) mentioned here earlier, I still cannot get Dropbox to link up with the dropbox.com
    system,
    so no Dropbox function available here yet.
    Anyone else had this problem?

    Regards,

    Must be the vendor's vbox 6.0.14. Mageia's version was updated with code
    fixes in the dkms packages to avoid that problem before the kernel was
    updated to the 5.4 series.

    I use Mageia's version on four distinct hosts, including the kernel
    modules that are pre-built by Mageia. So far, zero problems with vbox
    6.0.14.

    Did a Cauldron netinstall guest, yesterday.

    Took me awhile to figure out that I had to remove nokmsboot from the
    vmlinuz line to get the gui login to show up.
