hi i use virtualbox on archlinux and after updateing the kernel i cannot run virtualbox : The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Re-setup the kernel module by executing
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
as root.
but this command doesnt work: sudo: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: command not found...

Re: Updating kernel
Did you really run the command as you have written, 'sudo:'
There should not be a ':' at the end of the sudo comannd.
The correct command should be
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Another way: Open terminal,
"su"
input your password
"/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup"
"su"
input your password
"/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup"

Reinstall VB. Somehow, the module script is removed.
