In case you dont know, DKMS is a nifty little system that will ensure you dont run into trouble if you install a new kernel. Running a new Kernel requires ALL modules to be recompiled, and in the case of propietary drivers (ie drivers you dint install through apt-get) this task is left to you. DKMS is there to automate this very task, you wont ever have to care for kernel-upgrades again. I wrote a little script(attached) that extracts the necessary parts from the NVIDIA-Driver and can configure DKMS. Who can use this tutorial Theoretically the procedure should work on all Ubuntus that have the necessary packages (Gutsy and later), I only tested this on Intrepid tough. It should work with all current and future NVIDIA-Installers (180, 173, 96 and 71 Series ). Your OS should be Ubuntu - Gutsy or later. Earlier versions should work too if you manage to manually install DKMS but I wont cover thatYou need a Nvidia Card obviously, and the official NVIDIA-Installer Latest Versions can be found here Heres the instru

Opened 6 years ago Last modified 8 months ago kernel driver not installed -> issue with DKMS and VirtualBox 5.0.x and earlier only, please see comment 32 before re-opening Reported by: matteosistisette Owned by: Priority: major Component: host support Version: VirtualBox 3.2.8 Keywords: vboxdrv, kernel module, recompile Cc: Guest type: Windows Host type: Linux Description (last modified by michael) (diff) Every once in a while (I suppose every time the kernel gets updated thruough ubuntu's automatic update manager), after I reboot my ubuntu host and try to open Virtual Box and start one of my virtual machines, I get the following error: """ 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. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary. """ Then I run the abovementioned command and everything gets fixed, but it is ridiculous that I have to do so every time. Would you imagine if EVERY application I use required the same?? Needless to say, I HAVE dkms installed but this happens allthesame. Attachments vbox-install.log (5.7 KB) - added by matteosistisette 6 years ago. Change History comment:1 Changed 6 years ago by Technologov Unfortunately the problem is that Linux breaks backward compatibility on every upgrade. So point this problem to Linus Torvalds. I had a discussion with Creg-Hartman, one of Linus' Captains from Novell SUSE Linux on this topic but we are completely disagree with each other. This problem affects *all* the Linux distros. And you have to do that only to EVERY application that had drivers/kernel modules (very few have). This obviously includes NVIDIA drivers as well. -Technologov comment:2 Changed 6 years ago by matteosistisette Ok, I see. Then what does the second part of the error message mea
