VBox 5.0.14: /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup: Bad argument setup

Post by thomasb »

I'm on Ubuntu 15.10, just installed the latest version 5.0.14 and I can't run my VMs anymore. I get the usual "Kernel driver not installed" dialog, which I usually get every time a new version is released, but when I run the command

Code: Select all

sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup
then I get a "Bad argument setup" error... How do I fix this?

User mdalacu pointed out the workaround in another thread:

Code: Select all

sudo /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup
This worked for me.
