Hehe, I forgot about this list. When I have some spare time, I will get to it. Does it work for you now or still having problems?

Well I've got it working by a very round the houses way - I wiped my hard drive, installed
Gutsy then upgraded online to Heron (so using 2.6.24-18-generic) and it's all working again. I daren't update to 19 though...

You can upgrade to 19 just fine, just be sure to leave -18 on your system. That way, if 19 doesn't work as it should (though it runs fine for me) you can always go back to -18 to run your VMs.

That is what happen - I upgraded to kernel 18 and it stopped working. I reboot and go to 17 and it worked. Thought I would check the VirtualBox site and see if there was an update, I downloaded the update, uninstalled the virtualbox_1.6.0-30421_Ubuntu_hardy_i386.deb and installed virtualbox_1.6.2-31466_Ubuntu_hardy_i386.deb and that was when nothing would work. I keep getting the error :

VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root.
VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).


Result Code:
0x80004005
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {d5a1cbda-f5d7-4824-9afe-d640c94c7dcf}

And when I check - the error is right the /dev/vboxdrv is not there. How do I install this? Without doing a reload. Just grabbing for stars - Can I get this from else where and put it in there?

If you would read the message more carefully, you will see the solution already. It clearly says this:
Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root.
So, do that and you can run your VMs again. I've said this at the start of the topic too, but you said it didn't work. It has to work. Else a reinstall of the package should be enough (does the same actually).

That didn't work last time between 18 and 17 (as I noted in my initial post on this thread) so is there any reason to think it will work this time?

It's strange that it wouldn't work. Are you sure you installed the Kernel Image too? You need that to compile kernel modules. Run 'sudo apt-get install linux-image-headers-generic'. This should be installed by default. You also have to check if you actually have the proper kernel version, meaning it might be that you were stuck on -17 when your kernel was updated to -18 and you never checked again for updates.

well I'll give it a try to check if it wasn't something about my system (the first one started out as Gutsy but then moved to unstable Heron so maybe there's some difference with a clean Heron install).

Sasquatch - I do appreciate your assistance in this. You seem to be helping two people through this right now - myself and nikopol.

I did not load from the repositories. I loaded from the .deb file from Sun. When I loaded from the repository, it would ask for additional files, someone on the board suggested the .deb file from Sun, and when I loaded it with kernel 17 it worked. Now 18 and higher it does not.

The first time I loaded the most recent .deb file I just double clicked on it, entered my password and let it run - exactly what I did with the previous version. I then tried the suggestion to load it at the command line using sudo, Also a suggestion on the board, but this also did not help.


If you have any other suggestion I would be glad to try them. I am curious about this one - Run 'sudo apt-get install linux-image-headers-generic'. - is that only for those that use the repository from Ubuntu? Or can that be run by those also that load from the .deb file?

The command "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic" (it's linux-image-generic and linux-headers-generic, I made a mistake about the package name) is needed for everything that installs a kernel module. When using the OSE version found in the repo, the kernel module is build separately by the Ubuntu developers and does not depend on this package.
So, as you want to build a kernel module, you need that package. Just like if you would want to compile your video driver or any other kernel module (like the vboxvideo and vboxmouse when running in a VM) you need the kernel headers. Kernel headers is the developers package you need when compiling programs.

This package, linux-headers-generic, should be upgraded automatically if you have this meta-package installed. If you do not have this meta-package, upgrades will not work properly and you have to install the package manually.

I hope this makes sense ;).

Sasquatch - thanks for the advise, but it did not work. Here is the output from both. They say that they are already the newest version.

~$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic

I guess it is time to reload Kubuntu and start from scratch.

Now i'm having this problem again. My system just upgraded my linux headers to 19 and now virtualbox is broken again. There doesn't seem to be an update for the virtualbox modules yet. Any suggestions?

Also, I still have the version 18 headers installed. But I still get the error saying it can't start, and the 'sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' command still spits out the same errors.

Funnyname:
Check in Synaptic what version is installed. Do you also have gcc installed?

GSpawn:
The Ubuntu devs don't have the kernel modules build yet, so you have to wait for them if you use the OSE version (as I think you do). Refresh your package manager on a daily basis, it should be there soon enough.

That's kind of what I figured, but oddly enough, I don't use the OSE version. I just have the regular version downloaded from the SUN website. But still, every time I get header updated, virtualbox breaks. It's a little annoying because I have a few utilities that I need on a regular basis that run on Windows XP, so I rely on virtualbox to run them. When stuff like this happens, I'm basically s-o-l until it gets fixed.

Ok, long post comming up as this is my installed list. Check yours with 'dpkg --get-selections'. Now, I use Xubuntu, so you won't see much Gnome apps in this list, but instead you see Xfce4 items. That does not matter. I left the whole list kinda in tact, some items like games are removed, the do not add to the solution for this problem. Check for yourself what you don't have what I do have that might be needed. Ask here first, so I can say if it's needed or not (reading the description should give you an answer too).
