VB in Fedora 23

Post by Lizzie »

I am unable to get VB to start in Fedora 23.

I receive the following error messages:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine /Win 8.1

The virtual machine 'Win 8.1' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
MachineWrap
Interface:
IMachine {f30138d4-e5ea-4b3a-8858-a059de4c93fd}

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdvr) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing

'/sbin/rcvboxdrv setup'

as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.
where: suplibOsinit wat: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.

when I run /sbin/rcvboxdvr setup, I receive the following:

[julie@Lizzie ~}$ su
Password:
[root@Lizzie julie]# /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup
Bad argument setup
[root@Lizzie julie]#

The following are installed on my system
Kernel 4.3.4-300.fc23 x86_64
DKMS 2.2.03-31.git.7.c
VirtualBox-5.0 5.0.14_105127_fedora22-1 (from web site)
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.14-105127.vbox-extpack (from web site)

Help!!
