Hello to everybody.

I'm trying to go on with Virtualbox but when I run it, it says to me:

Code: Select all

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.
I tried to install it with the command

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
and to add my user to vboxgroup but it doesn't work however...

Somebody help me :cry: ...

Do you have the sources of your kernel installed? You need it!

Not quite, you need the Linux headers, which are the bits of source than enable new plug-ins such as device drivers to be linked against the kernel.
