These shiny new packages need testing before final release. If you have some time enable the testing repo to get them.
Kernel-4-14-2 carries some fixes for problematic Lenovo laptops with Elantech touchpads.
Have fun
BTW Be sure to install both the earlier versions of VirtualBox will not work with this kernel.

I can not run the latest VirtualBox.
When I start an image, it crashes with the The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox error.

Hum, I don’t have this issue with any of the last kernels: 4.13.12 (main update) and 4.14.2, 4.14.13 (main testing).
Btw this thread is about the kernel 4.14.2 and it seems that you are using 4.13.12
Have you this package installed: dkms-virtualbox-5.2.4-1-omv2015.0.x86_64 ?

Looks like your DKMS build for VBox module failed.

I see the error in the /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/kernel-4.13.12-desktop-2omv-x86_64/log/make.log file.

Did you try it?

Guys this is the same issue as here:
https://forum3.openmandriva.org/t/kernel-4-14-2-no-nvidia-no-bbswitch-support/1627/16

new gcc and kernel 4.14.14 should fix this issue. Currently i’m working on these to deliver these to you ASAP.

It works now.
The problem was with the nvidia drivers.
Please see the
