VB 6.1.0 on Fedora 31

Post by Lizzie »

In trying to start a VB session on Fedora 31, Ii receive the following error message:
The virtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. Please try setting it up again by executing
'/sbin/vboxconfig'

In the past I have resolved this issue by doing the following:
cd /usr/src/kernels
export KERN_DIR=/usr/src/kernels/Latest kernel
/usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup

When I changed directories to /usr/src/kernels, there does not appear to be anything in it. What happened to the kernel listing or am I doing something wrong?

Problem solved. I did not have Kernel-devel installed. Lizzie
