Can't install on Kali 2.0

[CoutoReis]

Dear folks, it's been 3 days since I started installing VirtualBox in Kali Linux 2.0, without success until now.

Briefing:

• Purged virtualbox, virtualbox-dkms and linux-headers*
  Installed linux-headers-* and virtualbox via apt-get

When I run virtualbox:

Code: Select all

WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
	 Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate
	 headers, most likely linux-headers-amd64.

	 You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

and when I try to open a VM:

Code: Select all

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please install virtualbox-dkms package and load the kernel module by executing

'modprobe vboxdrv'

as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT. 

So, that's it. I'm a little tired, trying to breathe new air after so much failure

Anyone?

You need to post the /var/log/vbox-install.log ( as an attachment )

Note: we only support the official version of VirtualBox from virtualbox.org, so if you have installed the repo version you need to ask them for help.

[CoutoReis]

There is no /var/log/vbox-install.log.

[CoutoReis]

Oh, OK. I'll purge and install from virtualbox dot org.

[CoutoReis]

So, there it is the attachment.

EDIT: as I run virtualbox it suggests me to execute /ssbin/rcvboxdrv. This is the result:

Code: Select all

/sbin/rcvboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules ...done.
Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules ...done.
Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMSError! echo
Your kernel headers for kernel 4.3.0-kali1-amd64 cannot be found at
/lib/modules/4.3.0-kali1-amd64/build or /lib/modules/4.3.0-kali1-amd64/source.
 ...failed!
  (Failed, trying without DKMS)
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules ...failed!
  (Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)

[Perryg]

It tells you right there what you are doing worng and in the install log as well
Makefile:185: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Pare.

You need to install the matching headers and any other packages that are needed to build external kernel modules.

Why are you using kali?

[CoutoReis]

I was using Kubuntu 16.04 till last week, but I'm trying to learn Kali from basics. I was afraid to find any issue running Kali via VirtualBox at Kubuntu. I'm using Kali tools to audit my network.

As I said, I installed all available headers... I don't know if I did right. I'm not a Linux advanced user.
