Problem with vboxdrv kernel modules ( virtualbox )

#1 Post by Bob_the_plumber »

Hi, i'm having problem trying to start virtualbox 4.1.10 , i'm running Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.12 with 3.4.2 kernel, i have installed the package needed ( Kernel sources, Devx, linux kernel 3.4.2 ) and that doesn't work at all.. it gave me this error when i type virtualbox on terminal :

*** Failed to load vboxdrv kernel modules.
/usr/bin/virtualbox: line 14: 7608 Terminated $SPLASH -bg orange -fg black -text "Loading vboxdrv kernel module..."

and at the line 14 i have this : fatal() {

which is it not very useful informations..

anyone know what to do with an error like this? thank you.

for some reason it can't load vboxdrv kernel modules

Did you compile virtual box or use a package?
