Virtual Box doesn't work. When I try to strat any virtual machine I get the next error:

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows 8.1.

Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {db7ab4ca-2a3f-4183-9243-c1208da92392}

I had installed the version 4.3.0, and I have completely removed it with Synaptic Package Maneger and have installed the version 4.3.4 but I get the same error.

How to fix it?

  • VirtualBox is in 4.2.16 on Ubuntu. A higher version is unsupported.
