I am on 12.04.5 x64. A week or so ago, I upgraded my Virtualbox to 4.3.14 by downloading from the Virtualbox site. Now that 14.04.1 is finally ready for upgrades, I removed 4.3.14 and reinstalled 4.1.12, the one that came with 12.04. When I try to start my VM, I get the following message:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.When I try to reinstall the kernel module I get the following:
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
