I've set my guest up but when I hit start, I keep getting the message: 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 driver not kernel module if necessary. I've ran/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup n the shell but nothing happens and the error keeps popping up, how can I get this resolved? Oh yeah, and I've installed dkms already: # apt-get install dkms EDIT 1 # modprobe vboxdrv modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found. EDIT 2 There's virtualbox-guest-dkms and virtualbox-dkms and I have them both installed but I still get the same error... virtualbox dkms share|improve this question edited Aug 18 '14 at 13:53 asked Aug 17 '14 at 21:26 cerr 34151531 It seems like this is a fairly common issue. Try the steps outlined at these sites. Also –Warwick Aug 18 '14 at 2:02 Does you distro provide prebuilt packages for the VirtualBox modules (if so, use those)? What happens if you modprobe vboxdrv manually? –Renan Aug 18 '14 at 2:44 @Renan Mydistribution is Kubuntu 14.04. Please see above EDIT 1 –cerr Aug 18 '14 at 2:47 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote accepted Remember to use sudo. Run it like this and it will work: sudo apt-get install dkms sudo su /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup see if it work now. I am trying use it too. I was with the same problem. I did on terminal: sudo su and after used the setup where the error says to me. I dont have the virtual machine yet, but this problem(error) is solved with me. share|improve this answer edited Sep 9 '14 at 12:19 answered Sep 9

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.

""" 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 mean? "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" If the dkms package does not re
