    Thumbs down Virtual box error

    Hi,

    I'm sorry to post this but I haven't found any solution to my problem.

    I have installed VirtualBox on Ubuntu 14.04 and when I try to run Windows 7, this window appears.

    Fallo al abrir una sesión para la máquina virtual Windows 7.

    The virtual machine 'Windows 7' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1.

    Código Resultado: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
    Componente: Machine
    Interfaz: IMachine {480cf695-2d8d-4256-9c7c-cce4184fa048}


    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.



    I've tried to do everything I read but I couldn't run it.

    Thank you

    Code:
    sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

    When I run
    sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

    This message appears:

    sudo: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: command not found

    Hi!

    Finally I could solve it. I had to install "aptitude", then I removed VirtualBox packages and I installed the one from the VirtualBox web.

    Thank you!

    Re: Virtual box error

    No me funcionaba Virtualbox, arrancaba pero no podía ejecutar ninguna de las máquinas. La solución que encontré fue:
    sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms
    y después:
    sudo modprobe vboxdrv
