Virtualbox Kernel driver not installed
Recently I updated my kernel to 3.2.0-29-generic
. After this, my VirtualBox is not opening and showing up an error message
VirtualBox - Error in suplibOsInit
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.
To make it work, I have to execute the following command each time:
sudo modprobe vboxdrv
as suggested elsewhere.
It is very annoying. Can anybody help on this? So I can run VirtualBox without needing to execute that command after every boot. I must mention that, I tried several other option suggested in various forums (including reinstalling VirtualVox, DKMS package, etc), but nothing gave me permanent solution.
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
?/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
? And what version of Virtualbox are you using. all ready been asked: askubuntu.com/questions/41118/kernel-driver-not-installed?rq=1
