这个问题不是第一次遇到,以前遇到时,忘记使用的ubuntu版本是那个了,真心记不清了,但最后由于没时间鼓捣,最后放弃了,不了了之了。
这次在笔记本又遇到了,我的系统信息如下:
Linux ***** 3.5.0-28-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 23 23:03:38 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
有时系统更新时,会更新内核版本,导致vbox执行用的的依赖文件改变,启动失败,打开Virtualbox 开始报错如下:
I tried to use my Virtual Box and this is the error I received - (I just updated to the new Ubuntu also) and I am VERY new at this Linux OS.
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. 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.
这次找到正解,亲测好使哈。
方法为:
-
run
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
-
run
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
