Installed latest Vbox and extentions no USB

I did run sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
this command did not work

can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cache policy virtualbox

Thanks

Replying to the automated email and attaching a file doesn't work.If you want to attach images, use imagur etc.

Can you give the output of:

dpkg -l | grep -i virtual

Thanks

BTW, you don't have to become root for this, users can run these commands, otherwise I would have added sudo where necessary.

When Virtualbox is run, you get a termina lmessage as below:

WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
         available for the current kernel (2.6.32-40-generic) or it failed to
         load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

           sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

I noticed no vboxdrv file but there was a vboxdrv.dpkg-bak file.
I ran
            1) cp vboxdrv.dpkg-bak vboxdrv
            2) sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

This corrected my no usb communication problem.
A special thanks to Andrew for pointing me the right direction.

sudo dpkg -P vboxgtk virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-qt virtualbox-3.1
