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.

there may be some help here - virtual box on Pup 5 Lucid

for some reason it can't load vboxdrv kernel modules

Did you compile virtual box or use a package?

i tried sfs and pet, i'll try compiling now..
