virtualbox-ose package

after update (ubuntu 11.10, april 4 2011 ) Virtualbox does no more work

Asked by ed

before update of ubuntu vbox (4-1-7 r772) worked fine
the error message(part of it):
The virtual machine 'ubuntuLTS' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1.

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv.
Please reinstall the kernel module by executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

as root

how do I do this as " sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" does not work
the errormessage also recomends to install DKMS first, how do I do this

thanks in advance

Open a terminal and type:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

give your user password the press enter.

Wait the commnds end, then retry
