Oracle Virtualbox 3.2?

[chrispche]

I upgraded to the latest version of Oracle Virtualbox as was suggested when I ran it. I have been using Windows XP for some time with full support for my mobile phone. However since the upgrade it won't run. Any help please?

Here's a screenshot of the problem.



Thank you.

Hello,

How did you originally install VirtualBox? Can you please post the output from:

dpkg --list |grep virtualbox

Well in a window it states what should you do (you have to recompile the kernel module used by virtualbox):

Open a console and type:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

then try again.

Hi gradinaruvasile,

I think the screenshot shows that there was a terminal window open with that command typed and an error returned. Unless you saw something I missed?

It was already pre-installed with a disk from Ubuntu Magazine.

You could try to remove the config files and reinstall with:

sudo apt-get purge virtualbox-3.2
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-3.2

Does the OSE version allow for USB devices to work in the virtual machine?
