Hi all,
Let me first say that this is my final resort after googling this issue for the last several hours. None of the solutions that I have found are working for me.
My VirtualBox (PUEL, not OSE) was working fine until about three hrs ago. I am receiving the following error:
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
By searching other threads, I ran the following:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
I received the following output:
sudo: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: command not found
I have removed VB several times and reinstalled using the following:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove dkms
sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-2.2
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-2.2
Each time I also rebooted my PC.
I have received no joy. I want the PUEL version and not the OSE because I need to be able to load my USB devices in VirtualBox and the OSE version apparently does not have that capability. I still have two virtual machines (one XP.vdi and one Vista.vdi) saved. I thought that maybe they needed to be removed also (which I didn't want to do since the process of loading a Windows VM is time-consuming), so I created a new VM to test whether it would load, however, same problem occurred.
I also found
this thread which was someone who had the same problem and found a hint from
here and solved this problem, however, I had a really hard time applying the Mandriva instructions to Ubuntu. Btw, I am using Jaunty kernel 2.6.28-11-generic.
Thanks
