Anyone?

I believe this can happen after kernel updates. Try this:
- Update your system (I see that orange update notifier :))
- Reboot
- run 'sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

Then see if that fixes your problem.

david@IceWeasel:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
[sudo] password for david:
* Usage: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv {start|stop|restart|status}
david@IceWeasel:~$



No change.

[waxyfresh]

david@IceWeasel:~$ virtualbox
WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
Please install the virtualbox-ose-source package and the appropriate
headers, most likely linux-headers-generic.

You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.



How do i figure out what to install?

Open Synaptic and install all of the virtualbox-ose-* packages. Also, install linux-headers-generic like it says.
