VBox Client: The VirtualBox kernel service is not running.

Post by pure »

good afternoon.
We have to prepare a virtual machine to install the Apricity OS to Oracle VM VirtualBox.
When you start this virtual machine, you get the following message.
"VBox Client: The VirtualBox kernel service is not running. Exiting."
What there is such as how to improve.
If you have person there you know, thank you for your professor.
Thank you.

Is this error in the guest window, from the guest OS itself? Or is it a popup Virtualbox window?

It is, I think that is the window of the pop-up VitualBox.

Excuse me.
There is no little confidence.
Perhaps, it might be an error message of the guest OS itself.

I believe that this error indicates that VirtualBox has not been installed for the current user.

A common mistake is to log in as the "Admin" or "Administrator" user, in the belief that this is necessary in order to install the full package. This is an error. Administrator rights are indeed required, but not the Admin user account. What you need to do is log in as the correct user and use temporary admin rights to install the software. I.e. run the installer using "Run as administrator...".
