VirtualBox error rc=-1912

[Max322]

When i try start :
RTR3Init failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)- The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing '/sbin/cvbox configure' may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the PUEL version of VirtualBox.

So what is the question?
You might want to post the /var/log/vbox-install.log to speed this along as well as dmesg ( as a file, do not simply paste large amounts of text ).

The problem is that when I try to run any of the virtual machines I get an error

[Perryg]

It looks like you had a previous version (OSE) and have tried to upgrade to the PUEL ( official ) version. This will cause issues like you are seeing. I would purge VirtualBox from this host and reboot, then check to make sure it is gone before you try to install again. Your guests will not be touched and should work one the install is fixed.

All exactly as you said.I have previous version(But not not sure that OSE).I deleted the previous version ( not sure if I did it correctly may remain files ). I try purge: sudo apt-get purge virtualbox-\* . Then try install again, but the error is still there

Actually you must have missed the part about verifying that all traces were gone. Do it again and verify before you install.

I'm sorry, but I do not know how to do it

[Perryg]

Sure you do.

dpkg -l | grep virtualbox*

[Max322]

Sure you do.

dpkg -l | grep virtualbox*

Ok i purge virtual box, now dpkg -l | grep virtualbox* say nothing

[Max322]

But the after install the error is still there

[Perryg]

If you are getting the exact same error then the original kernel modules were not removed.

[Max322]

How to delete?

[Perryg]

By searching for different variations like Virtual or VB. and seeing if any refer to VirtualBox, Which by the way is yet another way to search.

[Max322]

i try search with aptitude search Virtual/VB(for VB no refer virtualbox)

[Perryg]

Don't forget lower case.
