Hi
I have installed Xubuntu Desktop 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" (XFCE + x2go) (64bits) and virtual box 5.1
When i launch Virtual Box i get the following message:
And when i execute the /sbin/vboxconfig but it says i need some headers and when i try to install those headers i get errors:
In my terminal
In vbox-install.log
I am new to the linux environment and I don't really know how to fix this.
Can someone please help me?
For info, I've used OVH Xubuntu Kernel instead of the original one.
Thanks very much
Kind regards
Elodie

Re: vboxdrv kernel module not loaded
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) will attempt to install the headers that match your running kernel if they are available. If they are not then you are out of luck. Why are you using a proprietary kernel and not the stock one?

Oh no, really?Perryg wrote:sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) will attempt to install the headers that match your running kernel if they are available. If they are not then you are out of luck. Why are you using a proprietary kernel and not the stock one?
It's just that it is the one recommended since i was installing from their image.
It's not like i have anything installed on the machine yet (except post-install config and virtual box).
I might reconsider to start over and choose the proprietary kernel.
I will contact them first to make sure they can't help.
Thanks very much for your answer.
