Please attach the image here, locally. See the "Upload attachment" at the bottom of the form.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

I am not a Linux expert, I do not know what to do, I do not understand what the message says and what I should write into Ubuntu terminal.

It says to first install dkms, then to run /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup.

All of this is done as sudo ( elevated permissions )

I used this code:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install dkms
sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup
it works!
