VirtualBox error: Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

[picuru]

I met the same problem after updating UBUNTU9.04 . Now, I found the solution on the following address: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ose/+question/64190
And I just typed the three lines commands one by one, then the Virtualbox worked.

The commands are:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install dkms
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup


Try it！
Good luck！

This worked for me Thanks!!

Try tabbing out the vboxdrv portion of 'sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv' and see if it has been moved... I say this because I found that I had a file called '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv.dpkg-bak'. I executed

laptop:~$ sudo cp /etc/init.d/vboxdrv.dpkg-bak /etc/init.d/vboxdrv
laptop:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
 * Stopping VirtualBox kernel module                                             *  done.

I seem to be good now.

I have also this problem, and i have tried the solution in this thread, but it just do not work. I use the PUEL version of virtualbox and i have also tried with the OSE version. None of them work.

I have tried the

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

But this is what comes out.


bash: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: No such file or directory


Do anybody have some solutions on my problem?

haha,the same to me.

i have reinstall the vbox,now everything goes well...
