VirtualBox

**Toni_Vines** · June 10th, 2014

OK, I've done just about everything I think I should and I thought I'd cracked it but no chance! When I try to load my xp.iso I get the following error message.

RTR3Init failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)

The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the PUEL version of VirtualBox.

I have absolutely no idea what on earth this is all about. Can anyone help me please? I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit.
Thanking you,
Toni.

Hi Toni_Vines.

How did you install VB?
Did you install the version on the software center or did you downloaded and installed a version from VB site?
One on top of the other?

Regards.

It tells you exactly what to do

, well almost.
Close VB, open a terminal and type

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

This usually happens after kernel update.

OK, I've done that and now I'm getting the following:

toni@toni-HP-xw6400-Workstation:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules ...done.
Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules/etc/init.d/vboxdrv: 302: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxhost/do_dkms: not found
...done.

(Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)

Anyone help me please?
Cheers,

The Error is saying, RTreaInit with RC=-1912 in other words RC shouldnt be -1912

You need to install the dkms package so you can compile the kernel driver for VirtualBox.

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dkms

That will bring in a variety of other packages like the gcc compiler.

I prefer to install VB from Oracle's repository following the method described here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linu...xdistributions
