Hi people,
I use a 16.04 Ubuntu (in fact, Elementary OS based on Ubuntu 16.04). I have installed today the AMD64 build and I can start the vm manager. I have created a new WIN10 vm but she don’t start.
The message is this :
Code: Select all
There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run
/sbin/vboxconfig
In fact the issue is the same when I launch the command as root.
Code: Select all
root@xxx:/home/xxx# /sbin/vboxconfig
vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why.
There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run
/sbin/vboxconfig
as root.
That’s the dmesg result attached on the issue.

dmesg does not show an issue. Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log. Also where did you get the install from, virtualbox.org or the OS distro?

I am sorry but I doesn’t have this file on my computer.
For the version installed, she was provided by the virtualbox website and installed by dpkg -i xxx.deb

Odd, when VirtualBox installs it always creates a log file. Post the information of the following from the hosts terminal:

Loool I wonder why I haven’t understand what you mean by /
ver/log/vbox-install.log.
Ok so, it’s in upload attachment.

I would purge the current install and then install the official build again but this time use dpkg from the terminal and watch closely for any errors or warnings.

A mobprob was in error and in fact I have to disable the secure boot of my computer and enable the SCM (I don’t know what is this). Thank’s to the fedora forum.
Bye.
