VB on laptop

[Lizzie]

I finally got VB to run correctly on my desktop computer and am now attempting to get it installed on my laptop.

I am installing VirtualBox-5.0-5.0.14_105127_fedora22-1.x86_64.rpm on to fedora 23. When I run dkms, it fails. The following are the messages I receive.

Does anyone know what the problem is and what I need to do to fix it?

[mpack]

That sounds like a VirtualBox fork. We can only support VirtualBox on these forums.

[Martin]

VirtualBox-5.0-5.0.14_105127_fedora22-1.x86_64.rpm is the official package from virtualbox.org

[mpack]

Oh, so it is. Some kind of kernel mismatch then? We could do with having Perry here.

[Lizzie]

If there is a kernel mismatch, I am not finding it.

I ran dkms two more times and it still failed; but, dmesg was different both times.
