Ubuntu
virtualbox package

now I can't get virtual box to work

Asked by Lynne Stevens

Why Virtual Box is the latest version I downloaded it and installed it and it installed the extention pak
Then when I went to start bleeping windows it spit out this
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. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

I did the /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup in root and stll will not work

The formatting in the output above is bad and hard to decrypt.

But I think that the following Terminal output shows the issue:

Please install the linux-headers-3.0.0-18-generic-pae package,
or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located

i A linux-headers-3.0.0-18-generic - Linux kernel headers for version
3.0.0 on
p linux-headers-3.0.0-18-generic- - Linux kernel headers for version
3.0.0 on

The i at the front means "installed package"

The p at the front means "not installed yet"

So you still need to install the linux-headers-3.0.0-18-generic-pae package, which is what dkms is complaining about.

Copy-paste the following commands into the Terminal (press <ENTER> after each line):

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.0.0-18-generic-pae

Then rerun the following command and send us the Terminal output from running this command:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

*Well no sooner got it running than they added a NEWER KERNEL from
3.0.0.18 to 3.0.0.19 and I had to REDO the entire set of SUDO commands
to get back up and running again ! . . Glad I had a Sent folder in my
E-mail . . I will make a file in ABI with all the commands for future
use and save to the back up drive
Do I have to do this EVERY TIME they re-do the kernel ? Also had to
re-install the rest of the stuff like the guest installations and
extentions file . .
