Moved to Virtualization.

Have you tried doing what the error message is specifically telling you to do?

i think i need to create a /dev/vboxdrv how do i do that

[p_quarles]

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r`
You will also need to add your main user to the appropriate group, if you haven't already:
[code]sudo adduser `whoami` vboxusers/code]
