installing virtual box Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

[shining_shank]

I am currently trying to install windows so I can use a site that it is only compatible with internet explorer. I have read and tried all the other posts related with the same error that I have been receiving.

These are the following commands that I have ran in terminal and in parentheses is the response:

sudo aptitude update (sudo: aptitude: command not found)
sudo aptitude install dkms (sudo: aptitude: command not found)
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup (no msg received)
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv.dpkg-bak setup (no msg received)
sudo /etc/init.d/whatever-it-is-in-yours restart (sudo: /etc/init.d/whatever-it-is-in-yours: command not found)
sudo /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose restart (* Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
* Starting VirtualBox kernel modules * No suitable module for running kernel found
[fail])

I would gladly accept any advise,
Thanks in advance, shining_shank

Wrong:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install dkms

Right:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dkms

(DKMS should be installed by default.)
I don't know what the other messages are. Did you install virtualbox-ose from the debs on their website? It was really easy for me; I didn't have to use the terminal at all.
