Running Oracle VM VirtualBox on Ubuntu 13.04


inix software

When I try to run Oracle VM VirtualBoxit says I need to add a kernel module and recompile the linux kernel for it to work.

The error I get is:

Warning: vboxdrv kernel module not loaded. There are no modules available for the current kernel, or the load failed. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

I downloaded Oracle VM VirtualBox from their download site and chose the deb package for Ubuntu 13.04 AMD64.

what should I do?

Savage

Make sure you have the linux kernel headers installed and gists built:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-generic linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms

Then run:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Watch out for mistakes.
