I downloaded Virtual Box and installed it. I followed instructions on how to set it up but when I went to run it I got the following errors on the right side of the image below ↓
I tried the sudo apt-get install virtualbox-qt
advise from here: → There is an error when I try to install virtual box into Ubuntu and got the following read out:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done virtualbox-qt is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I also tried the: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
advise in the top error report and got this read out: "bash: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: No such file or directory"
Can someone instruct me on what I should do to fix this problem?
"EDIT" ↓
After a complete new install of Ubuntu 12.04 this morning, I followed NikTh's advise and downloaded Oracle’s Virtual Box V-4.2 from the link he provided. Set it up and tried to run it. I did not have an ISO (lost in the computer crash last night) so I booted it from CD/DVD drive, with the same Live CD I used to re-install this morning... This is the problem I have now, (above the cursor). ↓
Can someone please explain why Ubuntu 12.04 will run on my laptop but not on my Virtual Machine? Am I missing some settings somewhere?
"UPDATE"
I finally got Ubuntu 13.04 32 bit, to run in my Virtual Machine, so it is working properly...
My Final question is this - If Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit version runs on my laptop how come it does not run in my VM?
Thank you, "NikTh" & "Terry Wang" for your patience and all your help...
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
/etc/inti.d/vboxdrv
actually exist? It is a shell script.sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
and got the same result also... Thank you for trying though...sudo apt-get update
andsudo apt-get install dkms
andsudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
if the result is the same, trysudo /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose start
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
? What this returned ?
