Install VirtualBox on Linux Kali

Post by realdopd »

I have this error on Linux Kali latest version.

Code: Select all

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. Please reinstall virtualbox-dkms package and load the kernel module by executing

'modprobe vboxdrv'

as root.

If your system has EFI Secure Boot enabled you may also need to sign the kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.

where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.

Official Virtualbox no longer uses dkms, so you're trying to install the Linux distro's fork, which we don't support.

If you want you can either ask them, or uninstall their fork and install the appropriate distribution from http://www.virtualbox.org.

Also, the forum is supported by volunteer users who have to know the answer to your question and see the post, so you might have to exercise patience and wait a while. A weekly (not more often) bump for a few weeks might be OK, but if you get no help, it could be no one knows the answer.

Web-searching with:

site:forums.virtualbox.org

added to your search might help you get an answer quicker.
