Fedora 25 vboxdrv error
Posted: 13. Apr 2017, 09:29
Hi,
I have installed Virtualbox-5.1 from repo, but this error persists. I have dkms and gcc installed, there's no such thing as kernel-devel or kernel-core-devel as requested by running sudo /sbin/vboxconfig.
The akmod-virtualbox and kmod-VirtualBox come from rpm fusion only. There is no akmod-Virtualbox-5.1 or kmod-Virtualbox-5.1 in the virtualbox repository at
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... 25/x86_64/.
The system was fully updated and rebooted and has been rebooted since installing virtualbox from repo.
There are 2 faults, the first is the vboxdrv error, the second it won't even open the virtualbox manager gui, which it did when I accidentally installed it from rpmfusion.
Thanks in advance
