Hi all,
tried to open VB today and start my guest OS, but I got two error messages, the first one saying that a virtual HD failed to load install DKMS which I did then in the terminal I did this /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup and then I get this from the terminal
andyandmillie@andyandmillie-Satellite-L300:~$ /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
* Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
* Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: 415: cannot create /var/log/vbox-install.log: Permission denied
[ OK ]
* Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: 415: cannot create /var/log/vbox-install.log: Permission denied
* Failed, trying without DKMS
* Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: 415: cannot create /var/log/vbox-install.log: Permission denied
* Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong
andyandmillie@andyandmillie-Satellite-L300:~$
Any ideas on what to do
