upgrade of virtualbox on ubuntu 15.04

Post by xtine »

I use VirtualBox on Ubuntu 15.04. Today Virtualbox suggested to upgrade, I downloaded the .deb file, I tried to install, but it failed. Then I started Virtualbox, but it complained about kernel drivers. So I typed the command they suggested now it works. But why give me an upgrade if it doesn't work?

More than likely you failed to install dkms which will keep this from happening. See the manual section about installing. http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02.h ... linux-host
