Hello,
I have tried a few methods of setting up Virtual Box in Ubuntu 11 and have not had much luck. I set up a new machine, but when I try to start it, it will not start. I get an error:
Failed to open a session for virtual machine Windows XP.
The virtual machine 'Windows XP' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with error code 1.
The second pop up reads:
RTR3Init failed with rc=-1912 ( rc=-1912 )
Please install the virtual-ose-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root
------
I have tried to run sudo modprobe vboxdrv under root. I think it worked since I saw no error.
I also have found other sites say that I should install directly from the Oracle web site which I did.
I also have opened Ubuntu software center and selected to comletely remove all virtual box items in the list. Then, I user Ubuntu software center to install all of the virtual box items.
Another time, I tried using the synaptic to install.
apt-get install virtualbox-ose
No matter which method I had tried, I got that same error above.
I even found one more site in which I was to add the user to the group for vbox and this did not help.
sudo adduser [your username] vboxusers
