How do I remove Virtualbox in Fedora?

Post by bscho »

How do I remove Virtualbox in Fedora? It will not run as the kernel has been updated.
Everything I do to find the version fails to do the remove command saying
[root@windows12shop gina]# VBoxManage -version
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (5.5.13-200.fc31.x86_64) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

Try this to fix error:

Code: Select all

dnf install -y kernel-devel gcc make perl dkms
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
lsmod | grep vbox
If you just want to remove VirtualBox:

Code: Select all

dnf remove VirtualBox-*
