Did you do what the message states to do?

[omerbsh]

what to install? and how?

[Perryg]

Do you know how to run commands on your Fedora Host?
The top message is telling you what to do.

In a terminal as root run: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

[omerbsh]

this is what i get in the console

Code: Select all

[root@localhost log]# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules                         [  OK  ]
Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules            [  OK  ]
Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS[FAILED]
  (Failed, trying without DKMS)
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules                      [FAILED]
  (Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)

and when i try to open the log file this what i get:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost log]# more vbox-install.log
Makefile:169: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and ru
n Make again.  Stop.

what should i do?

Chapter 2 of your VirtualBox users manual explains what and how to install the necessary packages for your host.

64-bit host

Code: Select all

yum install dkms binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-devel

32-bit host

Code: Select all

yum install dkms binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-pae-devel

Then after a reboot of the host run the /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup again.
